While TPC Scottsdale meanders over several hundred acres of native desert, it has only 110 acres of irrigated land. Lush green parcels of manicured turf are woven throughout a rugged tapestry of arroyos, paleverde’s and other natural features in the Sonoran desert. The theme of TPC Scottsdale was designed with a more natural and rugged look and Stadium spectator mounds to create a contrast unsurpassed in Arizona.
Featuring Bermuda fairways that are over-seeded annually with Rye, TPC Scottsdale provides top-shelf playing conditions all throughout the year. The Tiff-Dwarf Bermuda grass greens putt exceptionally true and possess an average green speed of 10.5.
Course Maintenance
Over-seeding takes place the first two weeks of October every year. After over-seeding, carts are restricted to their paths through the FBR Open in February. Because this process involves growing new grass, the fairways are a little longer and the course is a little wetter. TPC Scottsdale is still in great shape and very playable after over-seeding. Please ask the golf shop for an update on course conditions if you are scheduled to play in late October and early November.
TPC Scottsdale aerates their greens in late spring, early summer. Aerated greens usually take 2 weeks to return to normal. This time line can be affected by the weather. Please be sure to ask the golf shop staff for an update if you are scheduled to play in late May or late July.
