TPC Scottsdale - Stadium Course

Play the loudest theater in golf—where 20,000 fans roar at the par-3 16th during Phoenix Open week.

About the Course

Home to the PGA TOUR's fan-favorite Waste Management Phoenix Open since 1987, the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale is a masterwork of theatrical golf design. Carved into the rugged Sonoran Desert and framed by stunning McDowell Mountains, this 7,261-yard championship layout was purpose-built by Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf to serve as the stage for the world's largest-attended golf tournament—and it delivers drama in spades. The iconic par-3 16th, known as "The Coliseum," transforms into one of golf's most electric stages during competition, but even in the 51 quiet weeks between tournaments, the course maintains PGA TOUR-quality standards year-round. Wide fairways offer more forgiveness than many desert courses, yet slick greens and desert carries demand precision. Playing here is unlike anywhere else—you're literally following in the footsteps of the game's greatest players on the same pristine turf they compete on, with the same challenging sightlines and risk-reward moments that make PGA TOUR golf so compelling.

Best Time to Visit
November through April offers ideal golf weather with temperatures in the 60s-80s and pristine course conditions. January-March brings peak season with the WM Phoenix Open in early February—book 60+ days ahead during this time. April-May offers slightly lower rates with still-excellent weather. Avoid May-September due to extreme desert heat (95-115°F), though summer rates plummet if you can handle the conditions.
