Golf Courses: TPC of Scottsdale

The TPC Stadium course is a resort-style layout operated by the PGA Tour and offers you the opportunity to play where the professionals play. It is located on the grounds of the AAA Five Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort and opened for play in 1986. The "Stadium Course" has gained immeasurable attention as the stage for the FBR Open (formerly the Phoenix Open) -- the largest spectator event on the PGA TOUR. Each year, more than 500,000 fans flock to the TPC for a fantastic tournament.

The course is beautifully defined with bunkering, elevation changes, water features and desert landscaping. It embodies the standards of excellence set forth by famed design team of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. Built in the middle of the once barren Sonoran desert in 1986, this course is not dominated by its desert setting. There are plenty of carries over the desert from the tee box, but little desert on the course itself. The Stadium Course has much more of a parkland or links-style feel as opposed to true desert target golf. The short par-3 sixteenth hole (162 yards from the back) was considered the rowdiest on the tour, with more than 20,000 (mostly college) fans cheering on every shot to the green that is surrounded by five bunkers. Tiger Woods made the hole even more famous in 1997 when he aced it and the crowd roared from the moment he hit the shot until he pulled it out of the cup.
