The majority of TPC courses are home to plenty of drama and excitement for both golfers and spectators alike. Few, however, have the same drama and personality as that of the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale. Originally a flat piece of terrain, Weiskopf and Morrish turned it into a wonderful sculpted golf course with interesting tunnels and bridges while making clever use of water features along the way.
Every year The Phoenix Open - comes to town, and is the perfect showcase for this magnificent layout. Not only is it the PGA Tour's best attended event, but its short 16th hole is definitely the most raucous in spectator golf, where the fans let loose as soon as every ball takes flight.
The course measures 7,261 from the tips, and is ranked in Arizona's top 25, and the world list of the 100 best golf resorts. The Stadium Course is incredibly popular, and is the ultimate example of the terrific desert golf that has made Scottsdale so famous.

Formerly known as the Desert Course, the TPC's Champions Course was officially unveiled in 2007. Designed by Randy Heckenkemper, the course is not the rival of the Stadium in terms of fame, but it is equally as beautiful and just as challenging.
Spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains as well as an iconic creek that runs through a portion of the course highlight this memorable championship layout! Such classic golfing holes as Nos. 1, 2 and 10 are sure to give exceptional challenges for both beginner and experienced players alike.
