About this course
The Champions Course is one of two 18-hole courses at TPC Scottsdale, a golf complex in Scottsdale, Arizona, northeast of Phoenix, operated by the PGA Tour's TPC Network. It sits on the site once occupied by the original Desert Course, with the layout completely rebuilt in 2007 under architect Randy Heckenkemper, who had worked on the property's earlier design in the 1980s.
The course winds through natural desert terrain, ravines, and foothill washes with views of the McDowell Mountains, and plays to roughly 7,100 yards at a par of 71. A stretch of finishing holes is noted for its difficulty and scenic desert setting, distinct from the ravine and wash features found earlier in the round.
TPC Scottsdale operates as a public resort facility alongside the Stadium Course, which hosts the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open. Both courses are available for daily fee play with advance tee time booking.

TPC Scottsdale (Stadium)
Scottsdale, AZ · 0.6 mi away
TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course is an 18-hole public course in Scottsdale, Arizona, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish and opened in 1986. The course was renovated in 2014. It plays to a par of 71 at roughly 7,216 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 74.6 and a slope of 138. The par-3 16th hole is fully enclosed by permanent grandstand seating, giving the layout its Stadium Course name. Desert terrain and gently undulating fairways surround the course throughout the round.
Grayhawk Golf Club - Raptor
Scottsdale, AZ · 2.8 mi away
Raptor is the Tom Fazio course at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, opened in 1995. It sits on higher, more open desert ground than its neighbor, the Talon Course, and plays as a par 72. The course is wide off the tee but demanding into the greens, with large bunker complexes, elevated putting surfaces and long forced carries over desert wash. Firm fairways and Bermuda greens make angle of approach matter more than raw distance. Raptor hosted the NCAA Division I men's and women's golf championships in the early 2020s, when Grayhawk served as the fixed site for the event. Phil's Grill is Grayhawk's 19th hole, named for club ambassador Phil Mickelson. Its patio tables, campfire-style lounge and views across the course toward the McDowell Mountains give Raptor groups an easy place to keep the round going.
Grayhawk Golf Club - Talon
Scottsdale, AZ · 2.8 mi away
Talon is the original course at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, designed by David Graham and Gary Panks and opened in 1994. It runs through tighter, more broken desert ground than the newer Raptor Course next to it. The golf is defined by desert washes, rock outcrops and short-grass hollows around the greens rather than length. The par-3 17th, known as Devil's Drink, plays to a green nearly surrounded by sand and water, and several holes require carries over untouched desert from the tee. It plays as a par 72 and is open to public play, with the practice facility and clubhouse shared between the two courses. Phil's Grill is Grayhawk's 19th hole, named for club ambassador Phil Mickelson, while Isabella's Kitchen overlooks Talon and runs a popular patio happy hour. Together they create a relaxed indoor-outdoor scene with course and mountain views.
