TPC Scottsdale has earned a host of honors, including a spot among the top three Arizona golf facilities for service and among the "Top 50 Golf and Resort Destinations in the World," the latter by no less than Conde Nast Traveler.

The Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale sits where the Desert Course did, but offers the thrills of golfing a new course, this one designed by architect Randy Heckenkemper, who did his best to fit the new golf course into the untouched desert land that surrounds it.

The Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale rivals its better-known sibling golf course, the Stadium Course, with all the good looks and good golf one might expect in the Scottsdale area.

Unfortunate construction

Nice course. Everything was great except the construction the city was doing. Not the courses fault but would have been nice to get a discount for the inconvenience.

Next course but expected more

Staff was great. Complimentary range balls before round. Course under construction on holes. I give this course an 8.1 out of 10. Expected the course to be nicer being a TPC course.

Nice Round

Nice condition but there is some construction going on near the course. This construction can impact a shot or two if you stray off fairways. Otherwise no big deal.

Nice course but better for less in area….

Played on a Sunday afternoon and
Booked 1:51 tee time allowing for enough time to complete round. Three in group and was paired with a single that took 2 minute
Pre shot routines only to miss a ten foot putt by 5 feet or smoke a 75 yard drive to the right. It was a test of patience. Thought we would break off from the forth to expedite our round and found tee backed up next hole by a twosome that had no business playing on course. 12 people waited for two and no course ranger to resolve the issue. Finished round in darkness. Better courses in area that treat you in a way that suggests they are grateful for selecting there courses. Condition of course was good, but again…better courses all around and at lower rate.

Fun course

Great layout. As a high handicap I found it enjoyable and not too difficult from the white tees. Would play again

The people as much as the course…

Make me want to continue to play TPC. From the fellows that greet you on arrival to the young lady at the outside bar, it’s first-class all the way. Highly recommended!

Great pace of play, good course

Felt a lot like other courses in the area that come in cheaper than what a TPC branded course commands in price.

A few fun holes. #5 has a horseshoe fairway surrounded by bunkers and you have to carry over water. #15 is a very reachable par 4. #1 and #18 have water running along the left side of the fairway. Outside of that, there's no great elevation changes, or views that you wouldn't get elsewhere.

The course plays long and narrow, the rough was dead rye (?) grass like most courses in the area with overseeded painted fairway grass. The rough around the greens was dead thick bermuda that was difficult to chip in. Greens were smooth and fast throughout. Traps had a good amount of sand. Tee boxes and fairways were cut to good lengths.

Hot dogs at the turn were $10. No provided water bottles in cooler. Carts had GPS but ended up locking when I went 4 feet off the cart path to get out of the way for other carts, then would not unlock.

Best thing about the course was the pace of play. Finished in under 4 hours. The price tag keeps the Bluetooth speaker crowd out.

Good course overall

Lots of divots in the fairways (well played) and golfers should repair to help out. Greens in good shape and pace of play excellent 3:50 hr round on a sunny day. Great staff in all areas. Would recommend the course

Was Hoping to Book Stadium

I really have nothing bad to say about this course. Honestly wished we booked Stadium but Champions course was also unreal. Man when you play subpar courses in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada, you really appreciate the immaculate greens at premium courses. We thought the fairways were fake grass.. too green and too perfect. Shoutout to the groundskeepers, they do an amazing job. But with the Canadian dollar where its at, we spent 540 bucks each on 3 rounds of golf... It's very expensive. The Waste Management is an instant classic now but TPC and everyone else are pricing out and cashing in. Also seeing private jets land every 10 minutes throughout the round shows how unaffordable golf really is... just like hockey in Canada. Again awesome course, just ranting about how these sport's are not for the common folk yet its the most beautiful game out there which I wish everyone could enjoy.

SPECIAL PLACE FOR GOLF

The TPC Courses are always a fun place to play, and can both challenge and entertain. Brother course to Stadium, which is getting ready for the WM Event, it is a nice layout. If you are a easily distracted golfer, the course is in the path of the Scottsdale Airport, so lots of noise as the jets dropped in for a landing.
Staff was very supportive, and helpful, and the Drink Cart had smalls of Jamison, so now one of my favorite courses!!!
