Set in the Sonoran Desert and surrounded by the majestic McDowell Mountains and adjacent to the Fairmont Scottsdale Resort the TPC Scottsdale, a PGA TOUR Facility, embodies the standards of excellence in golf operations worldwide. The Stadium Course, designed by the team of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, is a masterful blend of challenge and playability for the enjoyment of all levels of golfers, professional and amateur alike. Trouble comes in the form of 72 bunkers that are deep and strategically placed in the fairways and around the greens which are large but run fast and true.
Built in 1986 it hosted its first PGA TOUR's FBR Open in 1987. Now called the Waste Management Open, this early spring tournament has now become the largest attended golf event in the world. This brings immeasurable attention and respect to the Stadium Course which has won numerous awards.
