Staying Near the Waste Management
Phoenix Open.

When Is the Waste Management Phoenix Open?

The tournament runs for a full week in early-to-mid February, with the Thursday–Sunday rounds drawing the biggest crowds. The par-3 16th hole — golf's rowdiest, most famous stadium hole — is the single hardest ticket and busiest viewing spot on property. If your group wants a real shot at 16th-hole seats, plan to arrive early in the day.

Why TPC Scottsdale Is the Center of Gravity for the Week

TPC Scottsdale sits in North Scottsdale, and during tournament week, the surrounding neighborhoods become the epicenter of the golf world — packed restaurants, sold-out bars, and a genuine home-course-crowd energy that's unlike any other PGA TOUR stop. Staying close to the course isn't just a matter of convenience; it's most of the experience.

Hotel vs. Private Estate Rental: What Actually Makes Sense for a Group

A hotel works fine for a solo traveler. It falls apart fast for a group of 8, 10, or 16 people trying to coordinate tee times, transportation, and a place to actually unwind after a full day on your feet.

A private estate rental solves the logistics that hotels can’t:

• •One address, one group. No coordinating five separate hotel rooms across three floors.
• •A place to actually recover. After a 90°+ day walking the course, a heated pool, hot tub, and private gym matter more than a hotel gym on the second floor.
• •Room to host. Watch the leaderboard on your own terms, grill, and unwind without hunting for a table at a packed sports bar.
• •Better economics for groups. Split six or more ways, a full estate often costs less per person than six separate hotel rooms — with far more space.

Why Paradise Reserve Works for Phoenix Open Week

Paradise Reserve is a 6-bedroom, private North Scottsdale estate built for exactly this kind of week — sleeping up to 16 guests on over an acre, just minutes from TPC Scottsdale. Between rounds, the estate's heated pool, spa, pickleball court, putting green, and full home gym give your group a place to actually recharge instead of fighting hotel elevators and lobby crowds.

For groups planning a golf trip, corporate outing, or reunion around tournament week, having a private base a short drive from the Stadium Course changes the whole trip — less time in traffic, more time on property and at the course.

Planning Tips for Tournament Week

• •Book your stay early. North Scottsdale rentals near TPC Scottsdale sell out months ahead of the tournament — often before single-round tickets even go on sale.
• •Buy tickets directly through the PGA TOUR / WM Phoenix Open official site to avoid inflated resale pricing.
• •Plan for traffic. Roads around Hayden Road and Bell Road slow significantly during peak tournament hours — build in extra time.
• •Rideshare and shuttle options fill up fast on Thursday–Saturday; if your group is driving, confirm parking near your entry gate in advance.
• •Pack for heat and sun, even in February — Scottsdale afternoons regularly reach the 70s and 80s during tournament week.
