The Phoenix Open’s home course, open to the public 51 weeks a year.
For one week each February, the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale holds the biggest crowds in golf. The WM Phoenix Open draws more than 700,000 spectators, and the par-three 16th is walled in by grandstands. For the rest of the year the course is public, and the same tee shot is yours to hit in near silence. That is the appeal. You get a PGA Tour layout in good desert condition, a clubhouse a short drive from Old Town Scottsdale, and a sister course next door for a cheaper second round.
The course is open to the public outside tournament week. You book online through TPC Scottsdale’s own tee-time system or by calling the golf shop on (480) 585-4334. TPC does not publish its booking window on the course pages, so book as soon as your dates are firm if you want a winter morning. Cancellation rules are strict. You can cancel online or by phone up to 72 hours before play. Inside 72 hours you must ring the shop, and you may be charged the full green fee. No-shows are charged in full, and the person who made the booking pays for any missing players. Rates move with season and demand; TPC does not publish a fixed rate card. TPC’s 2025 partner booking sheet lists forecaddies as mandatory on the Stadium Course from November to April, so budget for that fee and a tip in season.
Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish opened the Stadium Course in 1986, and the Phoenix Open moved here the following year. A 2014 renovation, credited to Weiskopf, reshaped the greens and added a little length. From the back tees it plays to par 71 at about 7,260 yards. The land is flat by desert standards, so mounding frames the holes rather than rock and canyon. The Central Arizona Project canal runs alongside the 15th, 16th and 17th. The 16th is short, at around 160 yards. The 17th is a 332-yard par four that tempts a driver, with water left of a long, narrow green. The 18th finishes with water down the left off the tee. The 11th, a 484-yard par four, was the hardest hole at the 2022 tournament, with a scoring average of 4.56.
Two courses share the name, and they have separate clubhouses. The Stadium clubhouse is at 17020 North Hayden Road; the Champions Course starts from 8243 East Bell Road. Put the right one in your map. TPC Scottsdale also has the Toro restaurant and a DraftKings Sportsbook, which suits groups. Summer rounds are much cheaper, but temperatures pass 38°C, so take the first tee time or play after 4 pm. If you want to see the course in tournament dress, buy Phoenix Open tickets rather than a tee time that week.
Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) is roughly 30 minutes south by road, depending on traffic on the Loop 101. Most visitors hire a car, because Scottsdale golf is spread out and courses sit 20–40 minutes apart. Ride-share works for Old Town evenings. International flights reach PHX directly from London and via Dallas, Denver or Los Angeles.

The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is the resort next to the Stadium Course.

For a cheaper base with restaurants on foot, Old Town Scottsdale is about 20 minutes south. Kierland and the Scottsdale Airpark area have mid-range chain hotels close to the course.
Play the Champions Course, next door, as your warm-up. It is the other TPC layout, redesigned by Randy Heckenkemper. Grayhawk’s Raptor and Talon courses are ten minutes north. Troon North and We-Ko-Pa are each under 40 minutes away and make a strong three-course week. Off the course, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West runs guided tours in the McDowell foothills, and the hike up Pinnacle Peak is a cool morning outing.
