More than 700,000 people descend on a single stretch of north Scottsdale over seven days each February — making the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale the most-attended golf tournament on the planet. That works out to roughly 100,000 people per day sharing the same Loop 101 exits, the same Greenway-Hayden Loop corridor, and the same shuttle queues from WestWorld. On Friday and Saturday of tournament week, the first 3,700 general admission seats around the legendary 16th hole fill by 7:15 a.m. — fifteen minutes after the main gate opens.
If you're organizing a group trip to the Open — a corporate hospitality outing, a fan group road trip, a birthday celebration for the golf-obsessed — the question isn't whether getting there will be complicated. It's whether your group handles that complication smoothly or loses two hours to closed streets and shuttle lines before the first tee shot.
A Scottsdale charter bus or party bus rental solves the problem at the source. Rather than coordinating separate cars through closed streets and restricted Loop 101 exits, one bus drops your entire group near the tournament entrance and stages nearby for the return. Per the tournament's own published rules, charter buses have a designated access area separate from the general-public parking flowing through WestWorld's lots — your group isn't queuing at a shuttle stop a mile from the gates.
Below is everything you need to plan that trip: drop-off logistics, road closures, shuttle comparisons, vehicle options, and pricing, sourced from the official WM Phoenix Open guides and TPC Scottsdale's own published directions. For a broader look at group transportation throughout the Valley, see the Scottsdale sporting event transportation page.
Why Rent a Party Bus or Charter Bus to TPC Scottsdale for the WM Phoenix Open?
The WM Phoenix Open's nickname — "The People's Open" — undersells how physically overwhelming it is to be one of those people getting there. Greenway-Hayden Loop closes entirely from Bell Road to Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard during tournament week. Bell Road closes between Greenway-Hayden Loop and 82nd Street.
And the official tournament guidance is explicit: guests should not exit Loop 101 at Hayden Road or Scottsdale Road, since those exits are reserved for ADA access and credentialed parking passes. That funnels tens of thousands of daily visitors through Princess Boulevard and Bell Road exits into WestWorld's parking lots — free parking, but a shuttle ride away from the course.
A Scottsdale party bus or charter bus rental clears every layer of that bottleneck. Your group boards at the hotel, the Airbnb, or at Phoenix Sky Harbor, and the bus takes an approach route timed around the closures. The tournament designates separate staging for charter buses — your group isn't circling WestWorld hunting for a space, waiting in a shuttle queue, or trying to coordinate seven rideshares on a tournament Saturday when surge pricing in the geofence spikes sharply.
Everyone arrives together, on schedule, with energy left for The Coliseum. For groups going all day — tournament in the afternoon, Coors Light Bird's Nest concerts at night — one bus handles both legs without anyone scrambling for a late-night shuttle back to the WestWorld lot.
One bus replaces the whole tournament-morning scramble. Your group skips the Greenway-Hayden Loop closure, the WestWorld shuttle queue, and the Loop 101 exit restrictions — and arrives near the gates instead of at a parking lot that requires a shuttle to reach the tournament entrance.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at TPC Scottsdale
TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course sits at 17020 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. The main tournament entrance opens at 7:00 a.m. daily; the Princess Drive and Hayden Road entrances open at 7:15 a.m. If your group is targeting GA seating at the 16th hole on Friday or Saturday, that 15-minute difference matters — the main entrance is the one to use, and arriving at 7:00 a.m. or earlier is the play.
Per the WM Phoenix Open's own published guidance, certain parking lots and areas are reserved for specific pass types — and charter buses are explicitly listed among those designations. That means a chartered bus has a separate approach from the general public's WestWorld routing and isn't subject to the same shuttle bottleneck. The exact gate and approach route for your specific date is confirmed through the booking network when you reserve, since access protocols can shift slightly year to year as the tournament updates its traffic plan.
Always review the official WM Phoenix Open parking and directions page in the week before tournament — it updates as logistics are finalized. For the full spectator policy, the Know Before You Go guide is the right bookmark.
The key detail the shuttle option doesn't advertise upfront: WestWorld of Scottsdale — where general parking is centralized — is accessed off Loop 101 at Princess Boulevard or Bell Road, and Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the secondary parking option, sits 7.6 miles south of TPC Scottsdale. Free shuttles run from both, but on a Friday when 100,000 people are making the same trip, the queue time adds up before you've ever reached the gates. A charter bus doesn't interact with that queue at all.
The WM Phoenix Open officially reserves designated areas for charter buses — separate from the general public flow through WestWorld. That's the distinction that makes a private bus the fastest group entry into the tournament, not just the most comfortable option.
TPC Scottsdale Parking During Tournament Week: Every Option Compared
Here's how every transportation option plays out on the ground at the WM Phoenix Open, laid out honestly — because a private bus isn't the right call for every situation, and you should know the full picture before you book anything.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Gate proximity | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — staged near tournament entrance, designated charter area | 15–56 |
| WestWorld Shuttle (Lots A, B, C) | Free | Only if in the same lot | Good — shuttle drops at main gate; runs 7 a.m.–11 p.m. daily | Any, but no group control |
| Salt River Fields Shuttle (Lot SRF) | Free | Only if in the same lot | Good — shuttle to gate; runs 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Wed–Sun only | Daytime attendees only |
| Rideshare (Lot R at Bell94) | Per car each way + surge pricing on peak days | No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs | Lot R drop-off; shuttle or walk to entrance | 1–4 per car |
| Drive & park at WestWorld | Free | No — caravan splits up | Requires shuttle to gates | 1–2 cars, early arrival |
A breakdown on who each option actually serves well: WestWorld Lots A, B, and C are the only lots with shuttle service running until 11 p.m. — that matters specifically for the Bird's Nest concert series, which runs Wednesday through Saturday nights. If your group plans to stay for a headliner, WestWorld is the only public parking option with a late-night shuttle home. Salt River Fields (Lot SRF) ends shuttle service at 6 p.m.
Wednesday through Sunday, making it a daytime-only option and a non-starter for Bird's Nest nights. The rideshare Lot R at Bell94 Sports Complex (9390 E. Bell Road) is the official Uber and Lyft drop-off and pickup zone — efficient for individuals, but on a Friday or Saturday afternoon in February, surge pricing inside the tournament's geofence can be steep. A charter bus or party bus arranged through Partybusesscottsdale.com locks in a flat rate before any surge kicks in and stages nearby for when your group is ready to head out — not a 35-minute Uber ETA at 6 p.m. while 50,000 other fans are doing the same thing.
For one or two people, the free WestWorld shuttle or a rideshare to Lot R is often the smarter, cheaper call — there's no reason to charter a bus for two. But the moment your party grows past a few cars' worth of people, the coordination cost of separate vehicles — different arrival times, scattered navigation through closed streets, multiple fares — tips decisively toward one bus. That's the group the rest of this guide is written for.
Road Closures That Change the TPC Scottsdale Approach Every February
The road closure footprint around TPC Scottsdale during tournament week is bigger than most first-time groups expect — and it isn't just event-morning congestion. The closures are structural and last the full week. Per the City of Scottsdale's published guidance, these streets close for the duration of tournament week every year — in 2026 they closed for the following stretch (January 31 through February 9, with all streets reopening by February 12).
The tournament returns February 8–14, 2027, so confirm that year's exact closure dates with the city's traffic advisory closer to the event:
- Greenway-Hayden Loop: Closed from Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard to Princess Drive/Pima Road for the entire tournament period
- Bell Road: Closed from Greenway-Hayden Loop to 82nd Street throughout tournament week
- 82nd Street: Closed from Bell Road to Princess Drive/Pima Road, February 1–9
The practical impact: most of the residential street grid northeast of Loop 101 — the grid your GPS will happily route you through — is inaccessible to general traffic during the tournament. A navigation app that doesn't know the event is happening will send you into a dead end. Guests are also specifically directed not to exit Loop 101 at Hayden Road or Scottsdale Road, as those exits are reserved exclusively for ADA access and credentialed parking passes — general attendees use Princess Boulevard or Bell Road exits for WestWorld.
Any group driving separate cars is navigating those restrictions in real time, and someone will inevitably end up on the wrong side of a closure.
A charter bus or party bus arranged through Partybusesscottsdale.com handles the routing before the problem starts. The approach is built around the closure map for your event date, and the current road plan for your specific day is confirmed at booking. Always check the official WM Phoenix Open parking and directions page for the closure update closest to your visit — the tournament publishes the final map in the weeks leading up to the event.
Getting to TPC Scottsdale: Routes, Distances & Timing from Common Origins
TPC Scottsdale sits in the north Scottsdale corridor — close to the resort district along Scottsdale Road, far enough from downtown Phoenix that Loop 101 is always part of the trip. Approximate distances and off-peak drive times from common group origins:
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) | ~18 miles | 30–40 minutes |
| Old Town Scottsdale | ~5 miles | 10–15 minutes |
| Tempe | ~18 miles | 30–40 minutes |
| Downtown Phoenix | ~23 miles | 35–45 minutes |
| Mesa | ~22 miles | 35–45 minutes |
| Chandler / Gilbert | ~28–32 miles | 40–55 minutes |
Off-peak is the operative phrase. On tournament days — especially Thursday through Saturday — add significant time to any of those numbers. The standard route from Phoenix Sky Harbor runs Loop 202 East toward Tempe, then north on Loop 101, exiting at Princess Boulevard or Bell Road to reach WestWorld general parking.
That's the route the tournament directs general attendees to take; the Hayden Road and Scottsdale Road exits off Loop 101 are closed to general traffic. A charter bus running the same corridor arrives at the tournament entrance directly rather than at WestWorld — one fewer transit step for your entire group.
For groups flying into Sky Harbor and heading straight to TPC Scottsdale, a bus pickup at the terminal consolidates everything cleanly — one vehicle gathers the whole group at baggage claim and runs them directly to the hotel or the tournament, rather than splitting everyone across multiple rideshares on arrival day. The Phoenix Sky Harbor airport shuttle guide covers the terminal-level pickup logistics in detail. The Scottsdale airport transportation page handles PHX runs on either end of the trip — pickup when you land, drop-off when you're done.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need to Rent for TPC Scottsdale?
Every WM Phoenix Open group is shaped differently — the 12-person corporate hospitality run from a Scottsdale resort looks nothing like the 45-person fan trip coming in from Phoenix. Here's how the full vehicle lineup maps to a TPC Scottsdale run:
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Luggage / gear | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van / 14-passenger Sprinter limo | Up to ~14 | Modest — bags, gear | Small corporate groups, VIP hospitality, executive runs | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | ~15–50 | Onboard, lighter loads | Fan groups celebrating the trip itself | LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, wraparound seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Overhead plus some underfloor | Mid-size groups, resort-to-course runs, multi-stop itineraries | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — deep undercarriage bays | Large fan groups, corporate delegations, multi-day tournament runs | Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
For most WM Phoenix Open groups, the choice comes down to headcount and what you're hauling. A 15–35 passenger minibus fits a mid-size corporate hospitality group from a Scottsdale resort perfectly — powerful A/C and plush reclining seats for the morning ride over, and everyone back in the same vehicle for the post-tournament dinner pickup. If your group is large enough to warrant a full-size charter bus, the undercarriage bays handle golf bags, equipment, and everything else your group is carrying — and an onboard restroom means no stops between the hotel and the gates.
For a fan group of 20–30 celebrating a birthday or a work milestone at the tournament, a 25-passenger party bus comes with LED lighting and premium sound to keep the energy from the hotel to the 16th hole. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just note the need in your quote request when you reach out.
Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices for TPC Scottsdale
Rental rates in Scottsdale move with vehicle size, total hours, the specific tournament day, and your group's origin point. The WM Phoenix Open falls during one of the highest-demand transportation weeks in the Phoenix metro calendar — February tournament week consistently generates heavy booking activity, and the right-size vehicles for larger groups get claimed first. To give you a sense of planning ranges:
- A 15–35 passenger minibus typically runs roughly $200–$275 per hour on weekends, or $1,100–$2,150 per day.
- A 25-passenger party bus typically runs roughly $275–$375 per hour on weekends, or $1,850–$2,900 per day.
- A 40–56 passenger charter bus typically runs roughly $200–$350 per hour, or $1,350–$2,850 per day.
These are planning ranges — the real quote moves with your vehicle choice, total hours, and demand for that week. One quick form on this site or a call to 602-338-9084 gets you actual pricing for your specific group and date in about a minute, with no account required. See the Scottsdale party bus prices page for a broader breakdown by vehicle type.
To give you an idea: a corporate group of 30 people books a 30-passenger minibus for a Thursday morning run from a Scottsdale Road resort to TPC Scottsdale and an evening pickup after the Bird's Nest — roughly a 7-hour block. At weekend minibus rates of around $200–$275 per hour, the total runs about $1,400–$1,925, or roughly $47–$64 per person. Compare that to 10 separate rideshares facing surge pricing on a February Thursday, each paying $20–$40 each way just to reach Lot R — and the bus math becomes pretty clear.
The WM Phoenix Open Experience: What Groups Need to Know
The WM Phoenix Open isn't a typical golf tournament — it's the event that has every other PGA Tour stop beaten on atmosphere, attendance, and sheer noise. The 2026 edition at TPC Scottsdale raised a record-breaking $20.1 million for local charities while drawing the largest weekly golf gallery on earth. Here's what shapes the group experience and what to plan around before you arrive.
The 16th Hole: "The Coliseum"
The 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale holds roughly 20,000 spectators in the grandstands surrounding it — but only about 3,700 of those seats are general admission, available first-come, first-served. On Friday and Saturday, those GA seats fill by 7:15 a.m. That's fifteen minutes after the main gate opens — and veterans of the tournament know it.
If your group wants GA seating at The Coliseum on either peak day, you need to be at the main entrance (not the Hayden Road entrance, which opens 15 minutes later) at 7:00 a.m. sharp. That's the single biggest timing pressure point for tournament attendance, and it's the first thing every returning Open-goer mentions to a first-timer.
Thursday is the closest thing to a manageable Coliseum experience — earlier arrivals can often secure seating with an hour or two of wait rather than the 4+ hour pre-gate line typical on Saturday. Sunday is counterintuitively one of the calmer days, since a notable portion of the usual crowd shifts toward Super Bowl weekend preparations. And Monday and Tuesday are Ford Free Days — complimentary general admission for practice rounds, minimal crowds, and a relaxed version of the course that's genuinely enjoyable without the full tournament intensity.
If your group has flexibility, Thursday combined with a Monday or Tuesday visit covers most of the experience at a fraction of the Friday-Saturday crowd.
Coors Light Bird's Nest Concert Series
The Bird's Nest runs as a separate 21+ ticketed concert event Wednesday through Saturday during tournament week. Gates open at 3:00 p.m., headliners take the stage around 8:30 p.m., and the series runs late enough that WestWorld's shuttle service extends to 11 p.m. specifically to accommodate the post-concert crowd. For the 2026 tournament, the lineup ran Bailey Zimmerman and Chase Matthew on Wednesday, Zach Top and ERNEST on Thursday, Nelly and Ludacris with Ja Rule on Friday, and John Summit closing Saturday.
The Bird's Nest logistics matter for bus planning for one key reason: Bird's Nest tickets sell out within hours of going on sale each October — often faster than the golf tickets themselves. And only WestWorld Lots A, B, and C have shuttles running until 11 p.m. — Salt River Fields' shuttles end at 6 p.m. and don't serve the late-night crowd. A party bus or charter bus that handles both the tournament session and a Bird's Nest pickup eliminates the shuttle dependency entirely — one bus, two destinations, zero transit coordination for your group after dark.
Tournament Rules to Know Before You Arrive
- Clear bag policy, strictly enforced. Only clear plastic bags no larger than 12" × 6" × 12" (or a one-gallon clear zip-lock bag) are permitted, plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". Opaque bags over 6" × 6" × 6" are prohibited. There is no bag check available on-site, so every member of your group needs to arrive with the right bag.
- Digital-only ticketing. Add tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet before arriving. Cell service on the course can be unreliable, which means screenshots don't always load when you need them. Tickets must be downloaded and available offline before your group reaches the gate.
- No outside food, beverages, or coolers. Outside food and drinks are prohibited at the gates. Plan food and drink around the on-course options.
- No cameras with detachable lenses, drones, chairs, or air horns. Standard PGA Tour photography rules are in effect. The full prohibited items list is at the official Know Before You Go page.
- Fan conduct is enforced seriously. The 2024 tournament saw 211 ejections. The code of conduct prohibits foul language and fighting, and violators are subject to immediate ejection and criminal trespass.
- Dress for desert February. Morning temperatures at TPC Scottsdale during tournament week can run into the low 40s°F; afternoons push 70–75°F. Layer up, wear comfortable walking shoes, and alternate water with anything else you're drinking — the course requires substantial walking and the desert sun accelerates dehydration faster than most out-of-town visitors expect.
- Ticket pricing by day. Monday and Tuesday are Ford Free Days (complimentary admission). General admission runs $75 per day Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday; $125 on Friday and Saturday. The full visitor guide is at the official Know Before You Go page, and the Experience Scottsdale insider's guide adds practical tips the official guide doesn't always cover.
Types of Group Trips Booked to TPC Scottsdale
The WM Phoenix Open draws every kind of group — corporate delegations, golf fan groups, birthday parties, and destination-event visitors from across the country. The logistics don't change much by trip type, but the vehicle that fits does.
- Corporate hospitality groups from Scottsdale resorts. Resort-to-course runs are the most common corporate request during tournament week. A minibus takes a team from a Scottsdale Road or Princess Drive property straight to the gates — no car coordination, no parking scramble, nobody late because they got turned around on Greenway-Hayden Loop. See the Scottsdale corporate event transportation page for multi-day shuttle programs and conference group runs.
- Fan groups traveling as a group. A group of golf fans booking a 56-passenger charter bus for multiple tournament days can use the bus as the group's consistent home base — it stages nearby between sessions, handles a Bird's Nest pickup late at night, and keeps everyone on the same schedule across a multi-day trip without anyone needing to drive.
- Out-of-town groups flying in for tournament week. Sky Harbor pickup → hotel → TPC Scottsdale → Bird's Nest → hotel is a two-day itinerary that one bus covers cleanly, front to back. The Phoenix Sky Harbor shuttle guide covers the airport pickup side of that run in detail.
- Birthday and milestone celebration groups. The tournament makes a natural backdrop for a milestone birthday or a group celebration — a party bus from your Scottsdale resort to the course, with the event built into both legs. The Scottsdale birthday party bus rental page covers that format.
- Bachelor and bachelorette groups combining the Open with a Scottsdale weekend. February tournament week overlaps with prime Scottsdale bachelorette season. A bus handles the TPC Scottsdale leg during the day and the Old Town nightlife run later — one vehicle, full itinerary control. See the Scottsdale bachelor and bachelorette transportation page for that combination.

The WestWorld of Scottsdale transportation guide covers the venue that anchors the Open's shuttle network — useful if your itinerary includes other WestWorld events.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to TPC Scottsdale
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at TPC Scottsdale?
TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course is at 17020 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85255, phone (480) 585-4334. The WM Phoenix Open's official guidance designates reserved areas for charter buses separate from general-public parking, with the main entrance opening at 7:00 a.m. and the Hayden Road and Princess Drive entrances opening at 7:15 a.m. The exact approach route and drop point for your specific date is confirmed with the operator when you arrange your trip through this site, since the tournament adjusts access protocols each year.
Full directions from Sky Harbor and other Valley origins are on the official TPC Scottsdale directions page.
Where do charter buses park during the WM Phoenix Open?
The WM Phoenix Open officially designates certain parking lots for specific pass types — and charter buses are listed among those designations per the tournament's published guidance. That means chartered buses have a staging area separate from the general-public flow through WestWorld and Salt River Fields. The specific parking assignment for your bus is coordinated as part of the booking.
The tournament updates its lot assignments year to year, so the official parking page is the right source to check in the week before your visit.
What roads close around TPC Scottsdale during the WM Phoenix Open?
During the 2026 tournament (January 31–February 9) — the most recent example — the following roads closed for the full tournament period: Greenway-Hayden Loop from Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard to Princess Drive/Pima Road; Bell Road from Greenway-Hayden Loop to 82nd Street; and 82nd Street from Bell Road to Princess Drive/Pima Road (February 1–9). All reopened by February 12. General attendees are directed to use Loop 101 exits at Princess Boulevard or Bell Road — not Hayden Road or Scottsdale Road, which are restricted to ADA access and credentialed passes.
Closure specifics vary slightly year to year; the tournament returns February 8–14, 2027, so check the city's traffic advisory for that year's exact dates.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to TPC Scottsdale?
Planning ranges: a 15–35 passenger minibus runs roughly $200–$275/hour on weekends; a 40–56 passenger charter bus runs roughly $200–$350/hour; a 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $275–$375/hour. Per-day rates and the real quote move with your specific vehicle, total hours, and tournament date. Fill out the quick form on this site or call 602-338-9084 any time — pricing for your group takes about a minute to generate with no account required and no obligation.
How far in advance should a group book for the WM Phoenix Open?
At least 2–3 months ahead is the standard recommendation for tournament week — and earlier is better. The Open falls during one of the highest-demand transportation windows in the Phoenix metro calendar, and the right-size vehicles for larger groups go first. If your trip centers on Friday or Saturday specifically, lock in your booking as soon as your group confirms.
Waiting until January for a February tournament means limited vehicle selection and less flexibility on timing. Call 602-338-9084 as soon as your date is set.
What are the free parking options at TPC Scottsdale during the tournament?
General parking is free at WestWorld (Lots A, B, C), accessible off Loop 101 at Princess Boulevard or Bell Road, with free shuttles running 7 a.m.–11 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (Lot SRF), located 7.6 miles south of TPC Scottsdale, offers free parking with shuttles running 9 a.m.–6 p.m.
Wednesday through Sunday only. Rideshare pickup and drop-off is at Lot R, Bell94 Sports Complex (9390 E. Bell Road). Groups planning to attend the Bird's Nest concerts need to park at WestWorld specifically — it's the only lot with shuttle service running until 11 p.m.
Can one bus handle both the tournament day and the Bird's Nest concert?
Yes — a full-day block is one of the cleanest uses of a party bus or charter bus rental during tournament week. Your group attends the tournament during the day, the bus stages nearby, and when the Bird's Nest headliner wraps, everyone boards and heads back to the hotel without navigating WestWorld's late-night shuttle queue. A 7–9 hour block typically covers both legs comfortably, depending on your origin and how long your group stays for the concert.
What are the best days to attend the WM Phoenix Open as a group?
Thursday and Sunday offer the most accessible experience for groups wanting real tournament golf without the peak Friday-Saturday crowds at the 16th hole. Monday and Tuesday (Ford Free Days) provide free admission with practice rounds and minimal congestion — a genuinely good option if your group's budget is the priority or you want a lower-pressure introduction to the course. Friday and Saturday deliver the full Coliseum atmosphere, but your group needs to be at the main entrance at 7:00 a.m. sharp to have a realistic shot at GA seating around the 16th hole.
What is the bag policy at TPC Scottsdale during the WM Phoenix Open?
Clear plastic bags no larger than 12" × 6" × 12" (or one-gallon clear zip-lock bags) are permitted. Small clutches no larger than 4.5" × 6.5" are also allowed. Opaque bags over 6" × 6" × 6" are not permitted.
There is no bag check available on-site. Outside food and beverages, cameras with detachable lenses, coolers, chairs, drones, and air horns are all prohibited. Review the current policy at the official Know Before You Go page before your visit — it is enforced firmly at the gates.
Is there a way to get to TPC Scottsdale from Phoenix without driving?
Public transit options exist but all require connections — Valley Metro bus routes serve the north Scottsdale corridor, but they don't put you at the gates without a transfer or a walk. A private charter bus or party bus rental is the only option that picks your whole group up at one address and drops them at the tournament entrance with no connections, no surge pricing, and a return trip already staged when you're ready to leave.
