About TPC Scottsdale in Arizona
For most people, TPC Scottsdale in Arizona represents the site of the PGA Tour’s annual stop in Arizona for the Waste Management Phoenix Open (WMO). Known as the “Biggest Party in Golf”, serious and casual golf fans alike flock to Scottsdale for a mix of partying and golf-watching. Most notably, TPC Scottsdale is known for its legendary par-3 16th hole, which for the WMO is surrounded by grandstands which makes for a one-of-a-kind stadium experience.
While the Stadium Course, where the PGA Tour hosts its event, gets most of the attention, there are another 18 holes called the Champions Course. With the property opened in 1986, there is also a resort at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona, which provides the same great backdrops of Southwest desert scenery from many of the rooms. The sixth club opened as part of the Tournament Players Club (TPC) network, the Phoenix Thunderbirds moved the WMO (then the Phoenix Open) from its previous location of the Phoenix Country Club to TPC Scottsdale in Arizona in 1987.
In 2023, TPC Scottsdale in Arizona added yet another dimension to their property in the form of a full-scale sportsbook and restaurant.
