Our favorite spots to grab a bite – or a brew – at the TPC Scottsdale.

  1. Little Miss BBQ
    Foodies, rejoice: Scott Holmes’s low-and-slow Valley institution will have an expanded presence at the newly elevated Desert Oasis between the 5th and 6th holes. Perfect for teeing up a brisket breakfast burrito.
  2. Lifebird Grill
    Situated to the right of the 10th green, this is where you’ll find the famed Thunderdog, created by beloved Thunderbird old-timer Martin Calfee (pictured), who passed away in 2024.
  3. Zinburger
    Once again, the Valley-based gourmet burger house will be slinging its eponymous handheld wonder, topped with Manchego and Zinfandel-braised onions. Located in the Fan Zone.
  4. Tortas Paquime
    Valley culinary mastermind Omar Alvarez (Pa’La) brings his beloved Mexican sandwichery to the TPC, serving hand-held masterpieces like the Torta Cubana (ham, shredded pork, turkey, beans) to fans at the Fan Zone.
  5. Kiva Club
    Watch WMPO golfers putt their way to victory on the No. 10 green and drive on the No. 17 tee at this public-facing hospitality venue, which is reliably stocked with a smorgasbord of food and drink options.
