TPC Scottsdale

Located in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, the PGA TOUR’s TPC Scottsdale is undeniably one of golf’s most famous courses. Offering year-round championship golf boasting panoramic views of the majestic McDowell Mountains, TPC Scottsdale has served as the proud host site of the most-attended tournament in professional golf since 1987 – the WM Phoenix Open.

The tournament’s 34-year history at TPC Scottsdale, along with tremendous support under sometimes difficult circumstances by golf fans worldwide, helped raise nearly $4 million in 2021 alone for Thunderbird Charities – a nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and their families throughout Phoenix communities. During the 51 weeks of the year when the TOUR is not in town, TPC Scottsdale keeps charitable giving on the forefront, by hosting events to benefit deserving local and national organizations, such as Birdies for the Brave, The First Tee of Phoenix, and the JAAM Classic, which raises funds for junior adaptive athletes in the Valley. This ongoing commitment to philanthropy embraces the PGA TOUR’s mission of giving back to the communities it serves, coming to life through the TOUR’s philanthropic slogan, “Together, anything’s possible.”

HALLMARKS OF DESERT GOLF

Positive guest experiences at TPC Scottsdale are reflected in significant award and accolade recognition. Consistently named by Golfweek as a “Top 30 Golf Course in Arizona” and by Golf Digest among the “Top 75 Golf Resorts in North America,” both courses at TPC Scottsdale –Stadium and Champions – offer fun layouts intertwined with year-round tournament playing conditions.

The splendid par-71, 7,216-yard Jay Morrish/Tom Weiskopf-designed Stadium Course serves as host of the WM Phoenix Open. When the tournament is not in play, golfers can experience “a day in the life” of a PGA TOUR professional by testing their skills on the same immaculately manicured layout. Green parcels of turf weave through a rugged tapestry of Saguaro cacti and other natural features, with 72 deep bunkers and twisting greens creating a beautiful challenge.

The City of Scottsdale completed an extensive renovation of TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course and Clubhouse in late 2014. Led by the original and famed architect, Tom Weiskopf, the project included the relocation of five greens, resurfacing of all greens, reshaping and regrassing of all tee complexes, relocation and reshaping of all bunker complexes, replacement of cart paths, and re-landscaping of desert areas. Several holes look completely new from their original design. The result is a course that's more aesthetically pleasing to resort guests and strategically more challenging to PGA TOUR players during the WM Phoenix Open.

The Champions Course, a Randy Heckenkemper design, offers a true desert golf experience. Recognized as one of the top courses in the area, the Champions Course boasts more than 7,100 yards of undulating fairways, pristine greens and challenging bunkers. Considered a “hidden gem” by locals, the par-71 course features five par 3s and a diverse variety of par 4s and par 5s creating a thrill for golfers of all skill levels. Soon after opening, the course hosted the first stage of Q-School for the PGA TOUR and the final stage of Q-School for the Champions Tour in 2009 and has since hosted five more Champions Tour Q-Schools.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

The first golf courses in the state of Arizona to be certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System by Audubon International, TPC Scottsdale prides itself on setting the standard for environmental stewardship. Both courses were designed to fit seamlessly into the landscape, incorporating design elements that minimize impact on the environment; help to preserve and protect indigenous wildlife species; conserve natural resources; and create a serenely beautiful backdrop for unforgettable golf. TPC Scottsdale has previously been recognized as an “Environmental Leader in Golf” from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America for the Southwest Section Chapter.

Currently, all of the PGA TOUR’s owned and operated TPC properties are proud certified members of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf, reflecting a network-wide commitment to uphold environmental excellence and sustainability in golf course operations.

CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF IS JUST THE BEGINNING

The PGA TOUR’s TPC Network of premier properties sets the industry standard for outstanding golf, superb amenities and unmatched service. The club’s two award-winning layouts are complemented by a world-class golf shop, a celebrated Latin Restaurant & Rum Bar, Toro, beautifully appointed locker rooms and a truly one-of-a-kind PGA TOUR experience, making TPC Scottsdale a bucket list golf destination for many.

Unlike other stops on the TOUR circuit, TPC Scottsdale is open to the public year-round, allowing everyday golfers to compare their tee shots to pros like 2021 champion Brooks Koepka or runners-up Kyoung-Hoon Lee and Xander Schauffele. Complimentary forecaddies are included in Stadium’s green fees between November and April, immersing guests even further into the life of a professional golfer.

If once isn’t enough, the popular Annual Pass Program option is available, which provides cart-fee only access to both TPC Scottsdale properties, as well as guest privileges, practice facility access, a personalized locker in Players Locker Room, dining discounts and more.

Each year, TPC Scottsdale hosts numerous corporate golf outings, business meetings, fundraising tournaments, buddy travel vacations, and other special events. TPC Scottsdale also offers a variety of non-traditional outing packages designed to meet a spectrum of organizational objectives. No matter the occasion, the club is known for creating unforgettable experiences for all.
