TPC at Scottsdale 'Stadium Course' Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Hole 2 at TPC Scottsdale's 'Stadium Course' is a par 4, measuring 416 yards from the championship tees and 340 yards from the women's tees. It features a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 29 yards. This hole presents golfers with both strategic and tactical decisions off the tee: players who can hit their driver over 250 yards may choose to challenge the bunkers that guard either side of the fairway in order to leave themselves a shorter approach shot; those who cannot carry it this far should aim for the wider part of the fairway on their left-hand side.

The green is 7492 square feet in size and guarded by four bunkers, including two greenside bunkers accounting for 6% of total bunker count. Depending on local weather conditions—including altitude, temperature, wind speed and humidity—players should adjust club selection accordingly when hitting into this large green. For example, average golfers playing during summer months may need one more club due to increased temperatures while winter rounds could require one less club because ball flight will travel further than usual due to decreased air density.
