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.

We had a very nice time until lightning struck when we were on hole 10. I asked for a rain check for the back 9 and was told they don’t do that, so that was a little disappointing and definitely affected the value score.

Great Course

I really enjoy playing this course. Pace of play was unbearable. We spoke with the marshal and the young man did a great job moving them along. You will often encounter groups that are not proficient golfers and lack the understanding of ready golf.

Utter Debacle

Don’t waster your money on this vastly overpriced and overrated course. So many other options at this price point in the area. Told by Starter the pace of play was 4:15 and there were rangers monitoring play on the course. Called the pro shop twice asking for assistance, nobody ever showed up. Front nine took 2:50. No sand in the traps. Finished in complete darkness. Will never spend another dollar here again, Never been so disappointed in a high end golf course in my life. Complete money grab.

Awesome Greens/Barrren on the edges

This is a top notch course. It is directly under a very busy airport. Small planes and a few large jets fly over continuously. The greens are very smooth and quick like professional level quality. The tees and fairways were also in good condition. Of the the fairway is gravel, so the overall appearance is not as plush as the price, $250 on Thurs. at noon. There was also some major construction around several of the holes. They were mostly out of the way, but didn't add to the atmosphere. Overall a great and very playable course. It is mostly flat which was welcome after playing a couple course in the mountains.

Superb experience

The course was in fantastic shape! Practice facilities were good except the chipping green was closed for renovation. The staff was outstanding especially John our starter. Love the course and the twilight price. We teed off at 2:18 and just made it in before sunset. Nice rollout on the fairways and the greens were fairly fast as well, but not too fast. Overall, I was extremely pleased.

Almost perfect time of day

Played at 2:27pm, course was in excellent conditions, fairways were dry and running out. Greens were in perfect condition. We did have a number of holes that we waited on which maid it so we were in the dark of 17 and 18. Had we not had to wait it would have been likely we would complete the round in the light of day. All said the experience was excellent from the staff to the conditions. One complaint I might add would be that the pro shop was closed when we finished our round, would have been nice to know in order to look at some souvenirs.

Golf at TPC Champions

We always make it a point to play this course when we are in Arizona. Always like to sit and have a cocktail after the round on the patio but was a bit disappointed this year. There was a private party and we weren’t able to be outside.

Great layout

Played for the first time with my nephew; the course was in great condition, even after the gullywasher storms during last week’s Phoenix Open. The starter promised a great layout, excellent greens and a superior value to the Stadium course, and he delivered! Practice range is very good, the putting green is enormous, having plenty of holes and area for folks to focus on their own stuff. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. The refreshment cart came around at least three times during the round. We started at 2 and finished after dusk about 6:25, and one group finished after us as well. You do get great views of the McDowell mountains and numerous planes on approach to the Scottsdale airport.
