Opened in 1986, the resort is part of the Tournament Players Club network of golf courses operated by the PGA Tour.

Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish were commissioned by the PGA Tour to build a course to host the Phoenix Open starting in 1987.

The Stadium Course was the result, at an approximate average elevation of 1,530 feet (470 m) above sea level.

The grandstands that surround the 16th, which have a capacity of 20,000, are home to one of the most enthusiastic crowds on the PGA Tour.
