Enhanced Content

Brutal

The 7th hole at TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands precision over power. At 215 yards, this relatively straightforward tee shot plays longer than the yardage suggests in the desert air, requiring golfers to club up and commit to their swing. The small green complex offers little margin for error, making accurate distance control paramount for success.

What makes this hole particularly intriguing is its position as the calm before the storm – situated just before the famous 16th hole's raucous atmosphere. Without significant hazards to navigate, the challenge lies entirely in execution and club selection. The compact putting surface rewards aggressive pin-hunting but punishes wayward shots with difficult recovery situations. This hole exemplifies how simplicity can create compelling golf, testing fundamental skills while building tension for the Stadium Course's legendary closing stretch.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this 215-yard par 3 - take enough club to clear the front bunkers and reach the pin, as coming up short leaves a difficult sand shot.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 214.4 and 210.1 yards - these guard the front of the green and will catch any shot that comes up just short of the target.

green

The generous green measuring 30 yards by 38 yards gives you a large target to work with - aim for the center of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions to avoid trouble.

approach

With no fairway landing area available (0 yards from tee), this is a true one-shot hole requiring precise distance control and commitment to your club selection.

green

The large 6,277 square foot putting surface provides ample room for error - focus on getting your tee shot anywhere on the green rather than being overly aggressive with pin-seeking shots.
