Is February a good time to visit Scottsdale?

February is Scottsdale’s busiest month. The weather is close to ideal, and in 2027 three big events land within two weeks of each other. That makes it a great month to visit and the hardest month to book. Here is how to plan it.

How to plan a February trip

  • •Book the house first: places to stay go before event tickets do. Lock in dates, then plan the days.
  • •Choose your week: the first week of February comes before tournament week, while February 8 to 21 has the Phoenix Open, the horse show and the start of spring training on top of each other.
  • •Book dinners ahead: tables fill early in event weeks. See booking a group dinner in North Scottsdale.
  • •Leave a day at home: after a day at the course or the show grounds, a pool afternoon and a meal at the house reset the group.
