The WM Phoenix Open is famously played at the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale, a layout specifically designed to accommodate massive galleries. For the 2026 tournament, the course is set up as a par 71 measuring approximately 7,261 yards. Because the event takes place in the Arizona desert during the winter, the agronomy team uses a specific overseeding process to keep the course lush and green while the native Bermudagrass remains dormant.
