Scottsdale Event Guide

WM Phoenix Open Guide

Plan tournament week from a private Scottsdale home base — golf, crowds, concerts, transportation, food, and pool time between rounds. Tournament week is one of Scottsdale’s highest-demand periods, so lodging is worth checking early.

Your Scottsdale home base

Event weekends are easier.

Event weekends are easier when the house is already handled: private pool, group space, full kitchen, and a quiet place to recharge after the tournament.

The People's Open

There is simply nothing like it in all of sports.

Home to the largest and most enthusiastic crowds in the game as well as the most iconic hole on the PGA TOUR — the famed 16th hole Coliseum — the WM Phoenix Open has captured the hearts of millions of golf fans around the world.

From hall-of-fame champions, par-4 aces and the loudest hole in golf, to after-hours concerts, Saturday breakfast clubs and more than $246 million raised for charities, there is simply nothing like it in all of sports.

⛳ Tournament Golf

Practice rounds, pro-ams, and tournament play make the week easy to customize around your group.

🏟️ The 16th Hole

The Coliseum at 16 is the signature experience — loud, social, and one of the most recognizable settings on the PGA TOUR.

🎶 Concerts & Events

Concert in the Coliseum and Birds Nest events turn tournament week into a full Scottsdale trip.

Where to Stay

Use Scottsdale as your home base.

El Charro Sol gives your group private space between tournament sessions: a heated pool, putting green, giant chess, full kitchen, outdoor dining, and easy access to Old Town Scottsdale. Book as early as possible for tournament week, especially for weekend dates.

For WM Phoenix Open week, a private home can be much more comfortable than stacking everyone in hotel rooms — especially when your group wants space to relax, cook, watch highlights, and regroup before heading back out.
