WM Phoenix Open · TPC Scottsdale · early February
The loudest week in golf, and the closest house to it.
The Stadium Course sits on Hayden Road in North Scottsdale. So do our Troon Ranch casitas, 22 minutes up the same road, with three estates within half an hour for the groups. The whole course, the suites, the parking and what surrounds it, on one page.

Hole by hole
The Stadium Course
| Hole | Par | Yards | What happens there |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 410 | A gentle opener; the gallery is still finding its seats. |
| 2 | 4 | 442 | |
| 3 | 5 | 554 | First real birdie chance; long hitters go for it in two. |
| 4 | 3 | 184 | |
| 5 | 4 | 453 | |
| 6 | 4 | 432 | |
| 7 | 3 | 215 | The long par three; the wind decides the club. |
| 8 | 4 | 475 | |
| 9 | 4 | 453 | Uphill to the clubhouse; a good place to watch groups make the turn. |
| 10 | 4 | 403 | |
| 11 | 4 | 472 | Water left the whole way. |
| 12 | 3 | 192 | |
| 13 | 5 | 595 | The long par five; the tee shot has to carry the desert. |
| 14 | 4 | 490 | |
| 15 | 5 | 553 | Island-green par five. Eagles and splashes; the second-best gallery on the course. |
| 16 | 3 | 163 | The Coliseum. Fully enclosed stadium hole; the loudest place in golf. Hit the green or get booed. |
| 17 | 4 | 332 | Drivable par four with water left of the green; where the tournament gets decided on Sunday. |
| 18 | 4 | 442 | Water down the left, the Bay Club and the grandstands around the green. |
Yardages are the tournament card and move a little year to year. The last four holes, highlighted, are where the crowd and the tournament both end up.
Suites, skyboxes and where to watch
Hospitality on the course
The Coliseum, 16th hole
Fully enclosed stadium around the par-three 16th. General-admission bleachers fill by mid-morning on Saturday; the skyboxes above them are corporate.
Greenskeeper, 17th
A two-story hospitality venue overlooking the 17th green and 18th tee; ticketed.
Bay Club, 18th
On the water behind the 18th green; the finishing-hole party venue.
Skyboxes and suites
Corporate suites line 16, 17 and 18. Sold through the Thunderbirds; ask us early if you want a group suite for the week.
Birds Nest
The concert tent on Bell Road beside the course, Wednesday through Saturday nights of tournament week. Separate ticket.
Fan zones
Open-air food, drink and shaded seating scattered along the front nine and behind 16.
Suites and skybox tables sell through the Thunderbirds and their hospitality partners, usually the autumn before. If you want a group box for the week, tell us the headcount early and we will connect you; the houses hold the same group before and after.
The week
How tournament week runs
- Monday and Tuesday. Practice rounds, the quietest days to walk the whole course and stand at the 16th tee.
- Wednesday. The Annexus Pro-Am; celebrities, easy crowds, a good day with kids.
- Thursday to Sunday. Tournament rounds. Saturday is the loud one; Sunday afternoon at 17 and 18 is the drama.
- Nights. The Birds Nest concerts Wednesday through Saturday next to the course, then Old Town.
What we do around it: a driver for the day, chef dinners at the house on the nights you are not out, a tee time of your own at one of the courses nearby, and early booking for the group houses. February weekends carry three-night minimums.
