Expert Tip. The Tournament Player’s Club Desert Golf Course, located adjacent to the resort, is the “baby brother” of the Tournament Player’s Club Stadium Golf Course, which hosts the PGA Tour’s Phoenix Open. The course offers a round of golf for roughly one quarter of the price of the TPC Stadium Golf Course, even though the courses were designed by the same architects, Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish.
