TPC Scottsdale - The Stadium Course

Very enjoyable round of golf. Course was in perfect condition, played fair, and one of the top 5 courses I have played. Very traditional style of course in the desert, but perfectly maintained, and fun to play!

I played this course with my teenage sons, three weeks after the WM Open had played there. There was still a lot of construction going on taking down the stands and buildings, but that almost made the experience better. It was an awesome day that we will never forget. Pace is slower but didn’t bother us at all. The caddy we had for our group (Paul) made the experience of playing here worth every penny. Obviously expensive, but a once in a lifetime type of golf experience. Had a fantastic time, and the pro shop and practice facilities are worth getting there early and staying late!

Thoroughly enjoyed the pricey experience. Fun to have a forecaddie. Immaculate condition. Interesting seeing the stadium seating structures being dismantled in March.

Probably the best course I've ever played. Incredible shape, greens were very close to when they had the tournament. We had a great caddie, everything was just an incredible experience.

Did not disappoint, scratched off the bucket list!

We went to the course to experience the stadiums that are in place this time of year. That in itself is worth the expense one time. However, this was my 3rd. time to do this, so other factors came into play. The forecaddie system is mandatory, and personally I don't enjoy it. There is a lot of talking with the caddie trying to engage with all 4 members of the foursome and it did not help the pace of play. Our round was about 4.5 hrs.

I don’t get why this place gets a bad reputation. Some iconic hole as seen on TV and video games. It’s a tour course, why not get a chance to play from tips like pros. Not many other places let you play actual tips. Greens were true but a little slow. I was a single with my wife riding along and i finished in two hours. Talk about perfect. This was on a Tuesday and A few people let me pass. I can see it being very busy on weekends. But green grass everywhere there should be, nice practice facility. I had a great time. Sure a plane flies over here and there and I feel $160 is still a tad high for august. Glad I did it not instead of $400 in winter. Great course.

Tee to green, was better than I expected. Great grass all over. Greens spectacular!! Course is a whole lot different then when it's tournament time for sure. Staff, was spot on. Pace was perfect. Definitely coming back.

Our trip to TPC Scottsdale might be one of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve played. The entire day was a great experience. I’ve watched the tournament on TV so many times but actually playing it was even more fun than I thought it would be.

The practice facility might be the nicest I’ve ever seen. With an afternoon time, we were sent off No. 10 to start, I think to make sure we got to play the closing stretches of holes that are so well known. We stopped to see the “Tiger” plaque in the desert left on 13 and that was cool to see. As a hacker, it was amazing to par holes 15-17! My tee shot on 16 probably would have been booed as I JUST missed the green. My ball was a few inches onto the collar but I two-putted for a 3. No. 18 is a monster and the tee shot for the pros from the back tees looks terrifying.

After the high of playing the famous inward nine, the front nine was just OK. I was surprised there were so many houses close to the cart paths on the first couple holes. The green complex on 3 with all the tiers was extremely difficult to putt. The par 3s on 4 and 7 are challenging but the last two holes weren’t that interesting to us as we were rushing to finish before it got dark.

No doubt that it is a REALLY costly round but needs to be experienced at least once. I’m glad I played it and can check it off my bucket list. Not so sure I’d want to play it again, mostly due to the price, but would happily do so at a cheaper rate. Can’t wait to watch the WMPO!

ALL ROUND GOOD DAY
BIG RAY WAS BEST CADDIE I EVER HAD

Good experience at a challenging course. It was nice to have the caddy for course knowledge and to keep the pace of play up. We completed 18 in about 4:15. Felt like a gladiator on 16 with the pavilion already up, lucky the workers didn’t boo me when I missed the green to the left! Will definitely play there again.

Beautiful course and and opportunity to play in PGA conditions. Great experience and always beneficial to have a fore caddie.
