TPC Scottsdale (Champions)

Golf Course Review TPC Scottsdale CHAMPIONS Scottsdale Arizona

Reviewed by: jamesg18015, Phoenix, AZ
Played TPC Scottsdale Champions early Sunday morning paired with a threesome as one of the first few groups out. POP was perfect at 3:30. I’ve played here 3 times in the past 2 weeks.

The course is in truly excellent condition all around. The greens are probably the best I’ve played in the Phoenix area recently. Firm, yet receptive to short iron shots, no bare spots, smooth, on the fast side of average for an upscale public course. Fairways were very lush due to the heavy overnight watering this course is given, there were many wet spots due to my early tee time but a person playing later in the day would probably not run into this. Bunker sand is perfect as usual.

They are currently allowing solo rider carts. Pool noodles sitting about 1″ below the edge of the cups. They are starting to put rakes back on the course. The only minor annoyance is that they have no drinking water on the course and since last week they put the coolers back on the carts and no longer let you bring your own cooler. You can put your own stuff in the cart cooler, but it only hold about 2-3 bottles of water. So, I had to stuff 3 extra water bottles in my bag and put my cooler back in the car. Would have been easier if I could have just shown them I didn’t have booze in it or whatever and kept it with me.

Free range balls as usual and the range tee turf was in perfect condition.
