“Plans for the new course are designed to provide local residents, guests, PGA TOUR players and FBR Open spectators with a memorable golf experience as well as enable us to increase charitable contributions to the community through The Thunderbirds,” said TPC Scottsdale General Manager Bill Grove. “From significant competitive enhancements and design elements to clubhouse and banquet space improvements, we are confident the new 18-hole facility will be an even bigger asset to this fantastic resort destination.”
Plans, which will be conducted under the direction of golf course designer Randy Heckenkamper, will have the course measure from the championship tees at 7,100 yards and a par of 71. Every hole will be designed with the emphasis on the enjoyment of the rich landscape of the Sonoran Desert and being playable for all levels of golfers. The course will also benefit from significantly improved drainage and irrigation systems, which will facilitate greater consistency in playing conditions year-round, and it will use the natural elevation changes of the property to offer greater visual character as well as a challenging golf experience.
Construction began in January and will reopen in November 2007. For media information only, please contact Tiffany Nelson at (480) 585-4334.
