About this course

Champions Golf Club at TPC Scottsdale embodies the bold spirit of desert golf, a stark and strategic contrast to its manicured surroundings. This is the sister course to the Stadium Course, and plays second fiddle in the shadow of its world renowned big brother. Designed by Randy Heckenkemper in 2007, Champions presents a distinct modern challenge with a more forgiving architecture than the Stadium course. Undulating fairways defined by native desert vegetation reward thoughtful placement. While lacking the raw drama of its famed neighbor, Champions demands precise iron play into subtly contoured greens, with water hazards coming into play on several holes. Though it doesn't boast the same tournament pedigree as the Stadium Course, Champions offers an accessible experience within the TPC Scottsdale landscape. Its layout caters to a wide range of skill levels, providing a satisfying round for those seeking a demanding yet enjoyable test, especially those not ready for the intensity of the Stadium Course. The course stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of golf in the Arizona desert, offering a quality experience removed from the spotlight.

Getting there

The journey to TPC Scottsdale begins at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), Arizona's primary hub, situated roughly thirty miles south of the club and connected by a straightforward forty-five-minute drive north through the Sonoran Desert landscape. For those arriving by private aircraft, Scottsdale Airport (SDL) lies just minutes away, offering a more discreet entry point into the valley's exclusive golf community. The final passage unfolds along the McDowell Mountains' eastern flank, where the desert's raw geometry of saguaro and creosote gradually yields to the manicured grounds and championship fairways of TPC Scottsdale, a destination that has long anchored the region's reputation as a winter sanctuary for serious golfers.
