TPC Scottsdale

Got the opportunity to play both courses, especially the Stadium course on the last day before it was closed for final preps of the Waste Management tournament. The Stadium course was in great shape and the caddy we had was excellent. Playing No. 16 in the stadium was an experience I will never forget. Too bad the seats weren’t filled with people watching, lol. Greens were lightning fast.

I really enjoyed golfing here and I’ll tell you why first off the course is amazing it fits the benefits of every golfer out there. Now onto the clubhouse, the clubhouse is well maintained it has your standard golf locker room with shower equipped and the food is really good I’d say one of the best golf course food I’ve had but the negatives are that the snack cart dosent come around as often as other golf courses do. But in general if your looking to golf for a good price and looking for fun I highly recommend going here

Besides the Waste Management, this course is super overrated! The green fee was astronomical even the time of year and cart path only! Even the beer girl was pushy about her sales and push for gratuity by telling me a sob story, pathetic! The grass and view was awesome, plus the 16^th hole didn’t disappoint. I wouldn’t play here again and would rather watch the from the tv instead.

Played during our stay in October. Just reopened after re seeding, but was in pretty good shape. The staff was great from the starter to the guys who checked us in. Max helped us out and was a great representative for the course.

golfed the stadium coarse with my wife, just wasn’t impressed, some of the public courses in scottsdale area are better and more challenging, also don’t rent clubs from them, 2 sets $ 181, really !! that was more then my car rental for 3 days.

Hubby had his tee time at this place and he liked it. I was just riding with him and i also enjoyed the place. It wasn’t that hot while we’re there. The staff talks to you and they’re the ones who start the conversation which was really awesome. I find the place clean and in order and charming, you can really notice that’s it’s very well maintained. They also have great selections of golf wear and golf supplies and souvenirs. Hubby wanted to play here because of the PGA Tour, i don’t play golf so this review is entirely based on my hubby’s experience and it was great. :-) This place is also GREAT for pictures.

Not really a public course. They charge $ 80 just to practice. Couldn’t hit the range or practice green without paying. Staff was arrogant. I should’ve stayed in Cali.

The course just reopened after a grand redesign. It was in perfect shape as it is high season in Arizona for the snowbirds. The entire round was an experience. I admit I was pampered. After checking in I met my forecaddy for the group. Beiderwolf. I decided wolf would do. German from Wisconsin. Normally I play terrible with a caddy. Find myself playing for them psychologically. And it takes time for them to learn your game. Luckily wolf had some great reads on the greens and was clubbing me correctly. Having a forecaddy also improved our pace of play. He had yardages when we arrived at our balls and kept us playing while he took care of the details. We finished in 4 hours. And that is the whole point: play golf fast, an oxymoron IF there ever was one!
The course is well thought out. The redesign made it longer and more challenging. Playing the blues from 6600 yards played closer to 7000 as there was no roll out. The fairways and greens we’re emaculate. The greens were stimping around 11 and rolling true. The signature holes at 15, 16, 17, 18 are a great finish and I parred the last 5 holes. 14 is the most drastic redesign with an elevated green, the only such green on the course making it feel out of place.
The first hole is the easiest at 360 yards and follows the philosophy of starting your round with an easy hole. The fourth is a par three to a new green that overlooks the Fairmont princess hotel. The entire course as with all tpc courses is designed for spectators with large rolling hills and seating areas throughout. The stands on 16 were going up and it was as big as a football stadium. Great fun during the tournament. I’d recommend it as the experience was a truly memorable and positive one. It sucks when the round ends and you want to keep playing.

My friends and I have played at this course for two straight years during our annual labor day golf trip. I love way the course uses the natural dessert. There is fine wildlife that may walk through the course. My friends and I saw a fox in the front 9. Im also a fan of the flavored towels they have. They definitely make those hot days bearable.

I played there last Saturday it was one of the best rounds of my life I believe the championship course is great for anyone at any skill level. The pro shop staff is amazing, the course is in amazing shape! I’m 16 and a 12 handicap the junior rate was beyond reasonable with a cart is was 93 dollars which was a bargain. The food prices were very reasonable I got a bottle soda a hotdog and chips for 9 bucks I think. The staff is the most friendly including marshals and starter LEN was amazing he gave the best info of any starter ever! They really treat you like your a tour pro there.

Stunning scenery and exceptionally maintained course.

This place is great! Yes the greens are being worked on, but in a month they’ll be great! Tee boxes & fairways are in perfect shape! You can find errant shots on other fairways (saving strokes baby) and the staff is very friendly. Recommend to anyone in playing in Scottsdale. We played as a 4-​some in just under 4 hours — great pace of play!

Pretty good course at an affordable price. The staff is really friendly. Challenging but not overly difficult. Tight fairways, loved it when I had to hit from the rough.

Do not play the Champions Course!
It is terrible:
1. Greens have burnt sections of sod sticking out
2. Fairways are dried out, lumpy and not maintained
3. There is no reduced green fee considering the extensive damaged areas to course
4. No showers

Phx Open on the 16^th hole is always a good time

Updated review as I played the Stadium course this time.
Much better experience — nicer layout, better conditions, more professional staff and service. Nice practice facility.
Played in the summer when rates are way down.
Nice course but don’t know that it is worth the rates charged in peak season.
Stadium is much better experience than Champions course.

I have volunteered for 2 years at the WM Phoenix Open that is held at the TPC Scottsdale every January-​February. This is a beautiful golf course. The grandstand at the 16^th hole is a site to see. The Open is a well run, fun event that I would recommend to anyone. All lot of the volunteers at the concession stands are supporting charitable causes which the Thunderbirds support.

I was lucky enough to play this course in late December, just after the skyboxes and grandstands were setup in preparation for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. It was an unbelievable experience playing on a course like this.
The course was in perfect shape. The rough will kill you though if you play anytime around the Open… that’s because they get it in shape for the tour, so the level of difficulty is really high for us weekend hackers.
Our caddie was awesome. He explained a few of the historical aspects of the course, like Tiger Woods Rock from 1999’s Phoenix Open.
Overall, it’s a pretty awesome golf experience. A must do if you’re a golfer visiting Scottsdale.
Return Factor — 100%

Course was in great shape and is reasonably priced for a TPC course. This is a fun course to play but is very tight! Great location right at the Marriott in Scottsdale and is convenient to get to from most places.
The people were friendly except for one guy in the pro shop. Interestingly the 18^th hole is the only one where there were some quality issues as the fairway and green were not in as good of shape as the rest of the course.
All in all though, I would definitely return.

This is a review of the Champions course at TPC. Overall, this course is a big disappointment. The conditions were poor with the greens bombarded with ball marks, tee boxes filled with divots. The course looks like a run down, old course. Maintenance must be on vacation here… How dare the PGA put their name on this course with such bad conditions.
The layout feels like a muni someplace in Texas. The holes, most especially the par 3s, are plain vanilla. Finally, if you come to Scottsdale thinking this is a desert course you will be disappointed. There isn’t a cactus to be found here, and the desert is hard pan waste areas. No desert. The cart girl disappeared for 2 hours in the heat of the day. When we asked where she went the reply was «I went to lunch». Hun, have lunch on the damn cart! There are many many better choices for golf nearby. I would not return here again.
