TPC Scottsdale Rental Homes — Where to Stay for the WM Phoenix Open
TPC Scottsdale hosts the loudest week in golf. The right rental home makes it a great week; the wrong one turns it into an hour of traffic each way. Here's how to stay smart.
Driving times that actually matter
Homes in 85254 (Kierland / North Scottsdale) sit 10–15 minutes from the TPC gate — the sweet spot. You can leave for the 16th hole after breakfast and be back for dinner.
Anything south of the 101 turns into 30+ minutes during tournament week. Old Town rentals look close on a map; they aren't.
For groups splitting between the course and Kierland Commons for dinner, staying in the 85254 corridor puts both under 15 minutes.
What to look for in a golf-trip house
Enough beds that nobody's on the couch. Golf groups underestimate this every time.
Full outdoor setup — pool, firepit, big table — because you'll rehash every hole outside, not in the living room.
A putting green in the backyard. A five-hole scorecard settles more debts than the course did.
Enough parking for four SUVs and a golf-bag-friendly garage.
WM Phoenix Open week logistics
Book 9–12 months out for the WM Open. The best homes in North Scottsdale are gone by summer.
Rideshare surge on tournament days is brutal after the 16th empties. Have a designated driver or line up a black-car service in advance.
The house shuttle from a North Scottsdale rental to the WM Open gates runs $60–$120 each way during the week — factor it into the budget.
