 The courses at TPC Scottsdale can be quite a challenge because of the mounds and bunkers strategically placed throughout its design. It has a desert ambiance, but the natural terrain doesn't come into play.
The shorter Desert Course has been distinguished as the Valley's "Diamond in the Rough." It offers impressive course conditions, magnificent views, forgiving fairways and a high standard of maintenance -- all at a great value. The Desert Course also offers golfers the opportunity to walk or ride all year.
As a compliment to the city of Scottsdale, the Desert Course was designed by Tom Weiskopf in 1996 to provide local residents with a great course to play at preferred rates all year. Like its big sister, the Stadium Course, the Desert Course is also recognized among the elite golf clubs of the world by the Audubon Sanctuary Program. That is part of our No. 1 ranking in Arizona for our commitment to preserving the natural environment and conservation.
