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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
