TPC Scottsdale

TPC Scottsdale is a premier golf facility located in Scottsdale, Arizona, and serves as the permanent home of the PGA Tour's WM Phoenix Open. The venue was developed through a partnership between the PGA Tour, the City of Scottsdale, and the Phoenix Thunderbirds, the tournament's host organization. Construction of the facility began in January 1986, and the Stadium Course officially opened later that year. The site was specifically chosen to accommodate a stadium-style golf concept, designed by Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf to provide an amphitheater-like experience for spectators, which was a significant departure from the event's previous location at the Phoenix Country Club. Since its inaugural tournament in 1987, the Stadium Course has become one of the most recognizable venues in professional golf. The course is renowned for its integration into the Sonoran Desert landscape, featuring views of the McDowell Mountains and a layout that winds through natural ravines. Over the decades, the facility has undergone various updates to maintain its championship standards, including a significant redesign of the Stadium Course by Tom Weiskopf in 2014 to enhance its playability and environmental sustainability. Today, TPC Scottsdale remains a central hub for professional and recreational golf in the region. In addition to the Stadium Course, the property includes the Champions Course, offering a total of 36 holes of championship-level golf. The venue is widely recognized for hosting the WM Phoenix Open, which has grown into the best-attended golf event in the world, characterized by its unique, high-energy atmosphere that distinguishes it from traditional professional golf tournaments.
