Course in great shape

Pace of play was good with a 4:15 round. Greens were in great shape as the rest of the course.

They could use a little more help at the bar/restaurant as we waited 10 minutes to get our pre ordered food at the turn.

Stadium course was indeed Stadium

The value of this first time visit was disappointing. The course was very noisy due to all of the “stadium” construction going on for the upcoming WM Phoenix Open. The course also, due to the timing, had the cart path only rule in effect which tarnished the experience somewhat. The 4-caddy was great although the recommended tip struck me as rather high.

Golf in the flight path

Champions iis very good layout. Sadly, right in line iwith Scottsdale airport and it’s busy. No Marshall and pace was slow. Course in really good shape. A little pricey, but comparable to other courses. Wold play again.

A must play at least once!

Out here for the Pats/Cardinals game with my son. Avid golfers, we always watch the WM open on Super Bowl weekend! So wanted to give him the experience to play. Course met all our expectations! Cool to see the Stadium and stands! Staff and Forecaddie were great! Price was a little steep, but you can understand it this time of year! Anyways, a great Dad/Son experience, so all worth it!

Stuck behind a tournament

The course was great and we were paired with a fantastic fun couple. Our only challenge was playing behind super slow event making the front 9 2-1/2 hours and waiting on every shot to then have a bunch of groups chasing daylight on the back 9. Overall a great course.

Not with the money,

The course was in good shape, but there were groundskeepers out on every hole with very distracting loud machines that kept going while you were playing. We played midday so it was a surprise that they were mowing the grass within 50 yards of the green. There are other courses that offer beauty, better conditions and value.

The staff were very friendly. The restaurant at Stadium course is outstanding.

Plain Jane course

Course was in great shape. Very unimpressed, people play here because of the name. Nothing interesting, no signature holes and there are far more beautiful courses in AZ. Would not play again.

TPC Do better

Had an 8:00 am tee time on a Sunday, arrived at 7:25. Check in was great, hit some balls at the range and putted for a minute or two. We were paired with two local guys who were chill. I was underwhelmed by the course. Greens were kind of beat up, and the course had no really interesting or memorable holes. Cart path only because they had overseeded. Finished in about 4 hours. Went to the bar afterwards to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Waited an hour and a half for a cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich!!! When people that sat down after us got their food before we did, we asked about our order and we were told they were cooking it. Then we were told that they never got the ticket in the kitchen. Then we were told they had to get the cart orders done first so they did not slow pace of play down. If you are going to play in Phoenix/ Scottsdale area, do yourself and favor and play somewhere else. It was very evident that the staff here could care less about visitors, and preferred to take care of their regulars. I played at a TPC course and for $200 I expected better.
