I have played it a few times the last several years when I am out there in the spring. Its definately cool playing a course that you see on TV and this year we had a great caddy which helped the experiece. I will say for the money we paid in high season though, I was VERY disappointed in the conditioning. There were more than a few burnt out area's in the fairways, with the 10th hole having huge areas all around the dogleg burnt out. Just really unacceptable.

That was back in April, so hopefully they have rectified that. If the conditions are good then I would say that its a great course to play once for the experience (so that when you watch the 16th hold of the FBR open on TV next year, you can reflect on whether you would have been cheered or boo'd by the huge crowds). I'm not sure I would rush to play there again though. There are too many other great layouts in the area at better price points. Talking Stick North and We-ko-pa Saguaro are two that are must plays for me everytime i go back.

Like most TPC courses it is overpriced. Good layout but not worth the usual price. OK at a lower price, but spend the money at Troon North, Greyhawk or Talking Stick before going here.

I definitely agree. While it is cool to play where the pros do, I feel like TPC is overpriced. There are many other courses in the Phoenix area that could be played for much less than TPC. All of those mentioned by wingchamps are exceptional courses. Also, check out the Raven at Verrado. Arizona has no shortage of great courses, and, if you keep your options open and search around, you play a few of them for the price of one round at TPC.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
