Tough

The closing hole at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course delivers a fitting finale to one of golf's most electrifying venues. This straight par 4 stretches 442 yards through the Arizona desert, demanding precision from tee to green. The generous fairway invites aggressive drives, but the real test awaits on the approach shot to a small, well-defended green complex. With the famous 16th hole's amphitheater energy still echoing, players must maintain focus as they navigate this deceptively challenging closer. The putting surface's subtle contours and strategic pin positions can quickly turn birdie opportunities into bogeys, making it a worthy capstone to the Stadium Course experience that has hosted countless PGA Tour dramatics.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as you have a generous 62-yard wide landing area at the 200-yard mark. This gives you plenty of room to find the short grass and set up your approach.

approach

From 250 yards out, the fairway tightens slightly to 58 yards wide, so longer hitters need to be more precise with their drives to avoid trouble and maintain the best angle into the green.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone between 295-340 yards from the tee. Plan your layup carefully to avoid the bunker at 295.3 yards, which sits right in the prime approach distance for most golfers.

green

The green measures 29 yards wide by 38 yards deep, giving you a moderately-sized target of 5,352 square feet. Favor the center of this green as it's not overly large, making precise approach shots crucial for scoring opportunities.

At 442 yards, this par-4 requires two solid shots to reach in regulation. Most golfers will need a driver and mid-iron approach, so course management and avoiding the bunkers between 295-340 yards is key to setting up a makeable birdie putt.
