Golf Course Intelligence Report: TPC Scottsdale – Pro Golf Now

This week at the PGA Tour wears the most revolutionary event in the graphics, WM Phoenix Open in TPC Scottsdale. While the atmosphere of the tournament is incredible, the golf course itself is quite medium. There are a few exciting holes on the back nine, but the rest of the course is quite vanilla.

Most holes do not have unique characteristics, and the hopper leaves a lot to be desired. Given the layout, it has a strong finish and has a crunchy, attractive aesthetics with a dramatic contrast between the deep green grass and the surrounding desert in Arizona.

Overall: 5.30 – TPC Scottsdale has several fun holes, but it is generally generic and unkind.

Memory Holes: 5.5

TPC Scottsdale has many cookie holes that don’t do much to stand out; However, the internal nine present several quality tests that create drama during the tournament. For example, the 475th 11th is a very difficult parliator with water that protects the entire left side from a triple to green. The third hole is a solid rated five, where the second shot requires a transfer over the desert wasteland to find a strong two -stage green. However, the most memorable hole may be the 155th 15th; This exciting five is distinguished by water, firmly on the left side of the lighthouse and a green complex sitting on the island. It is clear that there is a lot of danger of avoiding when you go for this green in two.

Interest: 5.0

Again, the greater part of the course is average in the best case; Bunkering is not special, there are not many opportunities for creative shot, and the green complexes are quite ordinary. Still, there are several accents. A short-four-four 17th is probably the best example: only 335 yards and slightly down, the green is driven, but there is a shaved outflow to the right and a dangerous pond to the left. The green itself is large and is distinguished by a tiny finger that protrudes on the back. The shotgun of the 17th is high bets and can lead to a huge triumph or a terrible disaster.

Par Threes: 4.0

In my opinion, the biggest weakness of the TPC Scottsdale is the biggest weakness of the layout. They lack variety, difficulty and creativity. The fourth hole is 183 yards with angular green and bunkers guarding the front, left and right. The seventh of the 215 yards is equal to the Porta Mill with a simple green, guarded by a bunker on both sides. The 12th is the exception; This 192 yard hole has a long green that narrows back with a pond guarding the right and back of the green. The shaved outflow short and to the right of the green adds to what is already a difficult hole for attack. The 163rd 16th, sometimes known as the Colosseum, is known for its inspirational stadium and electrical atmosphere. However, the actual golf hole is good, but not big. The green plateau sits at an angle and is surrounded by shaved outflows and four bunkers.

Difficulty: 5.0

TPC Scottsdale is a course of average difficulty for a PGA Tour player. At just under 7,300 yards as a nominal 71, it has medium length, and all three norms of fives, as well as the drive park-four 17th are exceptional bird opportunities. The main protection of the layout is a number of large bunkers and some frightening dangers of water on the back of nine. The most difficult hole in the course is the previously mentioned PAR-Four 11th. What makes this hole particularly difficult is the fact that it is here to the right, and the farms are tilted to the left to the water. Players also need to be careful not to push the ball through the farms at the beginning of the dogita, as this will also lead to a water ball.

Final: 7.0

Finishing holes are the power of TPC Scottsdale. As already mentioned, the nominal 16th is a dramatic atmosphere for a hole that is good. The 17th provides an exceptional drama as a propulsion parliament, where players can do anything from eagle to double gods. The 18th is a quality 442 Norm four with a frightening triple: players should wear a lake from the Trinity and avoid bunkers on both sides of the light-up, including the Okmont church hopper. The green sits in a natural amphitheater, continuing the topic of drama and fun for fans with the tournament on the line of the final hole.
