Insider Tips
- 01Tee off early. Desert heat is a real factor. 7am starts let you finish before noon.
- 02We-Ko-Pa is the sleeper. Most first-timers skip it and regret it.
- 03The 16th at TPC is everything you've heard. Go for the full Stadium Course experience.
- 04January–March is peak season. Book 60–90 days out for top-tier tee times.
- 05Old Town is your 19th hole. Whiskey Row, Maple & Ash, Dominick's, and Steak 44 are all worth it.
