Top Golf Resorts

The TPC of Scottsdale, Stadium Course is a fun, interesting layout set in the desert about 30 minutes north of the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. The course was originally constructed to be the new home of the FBR Open (nee Phoenix Open) a professional golf tournament that is a regular stop on the PGA tour. The course is part of a larger golf facility that also includes the Champions Course, another 18-hole layout that is situated across the street.

The clubhouse is first rate, and includes many of the amenities that are typically found only at private clubs, including an expansive locker room with an attendant who is available to change spikes or shine shoes. A huge pro-shop carries just about any type of equipment or clothing that you could need. The Practice Facilities at the TPC of Scottsdale are world class, and include multiple putting greens, a generous short game practice area, and a huge driving range with actual greens for targets (not just flag sticks). It is not uncommon to see professional tour players out practicing on the range. Forecaddies can be hired on a round by round basis, and provide local knowledge of the course including helping your group to read greens and locate errant shots.
