Can You Play TPC Scottsdale on GOLF+ VR? Here's How

Yes, TPC Scottsdale (Stadium Course) is available on GOLF+ VR. Host of the WM Phoenix Open and its famous 16th-hole stadium, this desert layout combines risk-reward design with stunning Sonoran Desert visuals. You can access it as individual DLC for about $10, or through the GOLF+ Pass subscription ($9.99/month).

TPC Scottsdale is the party course in the GOLF+ catalog, and that is not a criticism. The VR version captures the desert setting, the stadium atmosphere, and the risk-reward shot values that make the real course famous. It is one of the most fun courses on the platform.

Course Quality Assessment

The GOLF+ team did an excellent job with TPC Scottsdale. The desert landscape — saguaro cacti, sandy waste areas, rugged mountain backdrops — translates beautifully to VR. The colors pop. The scale is correct. You feel like you are in the Sonoran Desert.

The 16th hole — the famous par-3 surrounded by the stadium — is the highlight. In VR, standing on that tee box looking at the green surrounded by stands gives you a sense of the WM Phoenix Open experience that no screen-based sim can match. It is not the real thing, but it is closer than anything else you can do from your living room.

The risk-reward design of TPC Scottsdale works well with GOLF+’s physics model. The course gives you options. You can lay up or go for it on multiple holes. The desert waste areas are playable but punitive. The greens are large with subtle breaks that read well in VR.

The front nine is the more interesting half. The back nine gets tighter and more residential. The 18th hole with its water-guarded green is a solid finisher but not as iconic as the 16th.

The main downside is that TPC Scottsdale rewards length and aggression. The controller-based swing in GOLF+ does not give you the same explosive power as a real swing. You will find yourself short on some approaches where a real golfer would hit a 7-iron. Play from the forward tees and you will have more fun.

How to Access

Individual DLC ($10-12): Buy TPC Scottsdale as a standalone course on the Meta Quest Store or in-game.

GOLF+ Pass ($9.99/month or $99.99/year): Subscribe for access to all courses including TPC Scottsdale.

Is It Worth It?

TPC Scottsdale is one of the most fun courses in the GOLF+ catalog. It is not the most challenging. It is not the most realistic. But it is the most entertaining. The desert visuals, the 16th-hole stadium experience, and the risk-reward shot values make every round different.

For WM Phoenix Open fans, this is an essential buy. The 16th hole experience alone is worth the DLC price. For casual players, the forgiving fairways and exciting design make it a great second or third course purchase.

If you want a desert course that tests your accuracy, buy Wolf Creek instead. If you want a desert course that is pure fun, buy TPC Scottsdale.
