Overview
The famed home of the WM Phoenix Open boasts probably the most well-known stadium hole in golf: the par-3 16th. Tiger Woods' hole-in-one in 1997 put it on the map for casual fans, who now flock to Scottsdale during Super Bowl week. The layout has architectural merit, too, with its risk-and-reward-filled back nine. The late Tom Weiskopf, who designed the course with Jay Morrish, oversaw a series of renovations of the course—making tweaks to please the tour player and resort guest alike.

Review
“The Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale is a fun and demanding round. Fairways are generous in places, but desert hazards and well-placed bunkering make shot placement important, especially on approach. The greens are firm and well contoured, rewarding precise iron play. Risk-reward opportunities are spread throughout the course, highlighted by the closing stretch and the iconic par-3 16th. With excellent conditioning and a tournament-proven design, the Stadium Course offers a memorable desert golf experience in Scottsdale."

“The finishing stretch of holes 15, 16, 17 and 18 make the course memorable. The drivable par 4 17th hole is a good risk reward hole with water up the left and a difficult up and down from the mounds in the bail out area on the right of the green."

“"THE" course used by the PGA Tour to host "The Peoples Open" in Scottsdale usually over Super Bowl weekend (early February). This public course built by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish receives a lot of play especially after the Waste Management Open. Prices are pretty steep when the event stands are still on the course and the conditioning takes a beating from all of the fans that truck around the property. From a golf standpoint the back-nine is a blast with great risk - reward."

“A nice course and fun atmosphere in Scottsdale. An above average challenge on the back 9, with a great five hole finish. The stadium being up or down changes the experience on 16, so players be aware. An overall pleasing course."

“A nice course with the challenge of the last four holes that can make of break your score. Play it and experience of playing # 16 as shown on tv for the WM tournament."

“A course that possesses hole quality with extreme volatility. 1-10 are average at best, and fairly low on the fun factor. the fun increases on 11-14 and climaxes on 15-18 leaving the dull front feel like a distant memory."

“Fun course to play, albeit arguably overpriced. There are some really enjoyable and memorable holes here, not just the main ones you recognize from the PGA Tour telecasts. The course doesn't overly penalize the mid-high handicapper compared to the low handicap. There is some room to spray the ball off the tee and still advance it forward. Conditioning can vary depending on the season."

“This TOUR stop gets a lot exposure and everyone knows the last three holes, which are the best on the property but the rest of the course is not very compelling."
