The TPC Scottsdale Champions Course often exists in the shadow of its more famous sibling, the Stadium Course, but it holds its own as a fantastic destination for golf enthusiasts. Situated in the gorgeous backdrop of the Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Champions Course offers a somewhat different, yet equally compelling, golfing experience. Designed by Randy Heckenkemper, this course is a tribute to the stunning natural landscapes of Arizona, featuring challenging terrains, bunkers, and elevation changes that seamlessly blend with the desert flora and fauna.
While the Stadium Course is known for its PGA TOUR spectacle, the Champions Course offers a more subdued, but no less challenging, atmosphere. It provides an ideal setting for those looking to focus on their game without the distraction of grandstands and larger crowds. The layout encourages strategic play, demanding accuracy and skill as players navigate through its fairways lined with native shrubs and cacti.
Despite being the quieter counterpart, the Champions Course doesn't compromise on amenities. The well-equipped pro shop, practice facilities, and excellent dining options ensure that golfers have everything they need for a fulfilling day on the links. For those looking for a more intimate, authentic Arizona golf experience without sacrificing on quality and challenge, the TPC Scottsdale Champions Course is an exceptional choice.
