TPC Scottsdale is one of my favorite courses in the valley for a variety of reasons. Both the Stadium and Champions courses are typically in great shape relative to other courses when taking into account the time of year. In the vast majority of rounds pace of play has been exceptional. Stadium course can get slow as some players are fixated on playing where the pros play and feel the need to make the most of their experience and take pictures and read every putt like their round was riding on it. The marshals do keep on it as best they can. Everyone I have encountered on both courses has been very friendly and helpful. Also ,the TPC Pass is one of the best deals in town. Being able to play either course for a cart fee after 2:30 is a steal, especially in the fall/winter months. The other perks of the pass make it hard to play anywhere else as reduced green fees make the value hard to beat. I typically prefer to play Champions however after watching the open I am more inclined to play Stadium a few times before I get back over to Champions.
