How to Book Golf Resorts in Scottsdale

Book Scottsdale golf resorts 2-3 months ahead for peak season (January-April). Use resort direct booking for packages, compare rates on TPC websites, and book tee times separately at premium courses like TPC Scottsdale.

  1. Pick your season and budget level. Peak season (January-April) costs $400-800/night at top resorts. Shoulder season (November-December, May) drops to $200-400/night. Summer (June-September) offers deals at $100-250/night but expect 110°F+ temperatures.
  2. Choose between resort types. Luxury resorts (Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton) include championship courses and spa packages. Golf-focused resorts (TPC Scottsdale, We-Ko-Pa) prioritize course access. Hotel + course packages often cost less than booking separately.
  3. Book resort rooms first. Call resort directly for golf packages - they often beat online rates and include perks like free breakfast or resort credits. Compare with Expedia/Booking.com but book direct if within $50/night difference.
  4. Reserve tee times at signature courses. TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course: Book 60 days out at 7am MST online. Troon North: Call 14 days ahead for non-resort guests. Four Seasons Pinnacle: Included with resort stay, book upon check-in.
  5. Add transportation and extras. Most resorts offer free airport shuttles - verify when booking. Rent clubs at resort pro shops ($75-100/day) rather than traveling with them. Book spa treatments 1-2 weeks ahead during peak season.
When should I book for Phoenix Open week?
Book 6-12 months ahead for late January/early February. Expect 3-night minimums and rates 2-3x normal pricing. Many resorts sell out completely.
Can I walk on at famous courses like TPC Scottsdale?
Very unlikely January-April. Stadium Course rarely has same-day availability during peak season. Better chance at Champion Course or other TPC properties.
Do I need a rental car in Scottsdale?
Most luxury resorts provide shuttles to nearby courses and shopping. Rental car helpful for exploring multiple golf courses or venturing beyond resort areas.
