There was no confusion about which course was in charge at the start of the tpc scottsdale creation. The stadium course continues to host the most well-attended party on the pga tour, but there has been recent interest in taking its companion course, the champions, closer to its level.

The renovations completed by randy heckenkemper in 2007 were a large part of this drive. About its size, stadium is just about 100 yards longer than the champions' 7,100-yard mark. In reality, the 605-yard par five at champions no. 17 is the longest hole on the course.

without a doubt, the holes you'll know are a couple of par fours with tee choices. The long par four at no. 5 appears to be a play on lido's popular channel hole, with a dangerous leftward fairway that will put players much closer to the green if they challenge the deep carry over water. tom weiskopf and jay morrish aren't notorious for relying on classic examples, but the long par four at no. 5 appears to be a play on lido's famous channel hole, with a risky leftward fairway that will leave players much closer to A more conventional weiskopf/morrish alternative is available across the pond: a drivable par four with a protected route...or a long line straight to the green for those who didn't understand their lesson at no. 5.
