WM Phoenix Open 2027: Stay in a Luxury Scottsdale Estate Near TPC | Elite Retreat AZ
Every February, Scottsdale becomes the center of the golfing world. The WM Phoenix Open attracts more than 700,000 spectators across tournament week. This makes it the biggest golf event in Arizona and one of the most exciting stops on the PGA Tour calendar.
The famous 16th hole has the cauldron-like feeling of a sports arena. Thousands of fans create a famous atmosphere unlike anything else in professional golf.
That popularity comes with one obvious downside. Hotels fill quickly and larger groups often find themselves split across multiple properties. That can take away from the experience.
A private estate offers a different way to enjoy the week. Instead of separate hotel rooms and crowded lobbies, everyone stays under one roof with space to relax, entertain, and keep the golf theme going long after leaving TPC Scottsdale. Traveling to the WM Phoenix Open 2027 can feel like the golfing getaway of a lifetime.
What Is the WM Phoenix Open?
The Waste Management Phoenix Open (often abbreviated to WM Phoenix Open) is one of the most recognizable events on the PGA Tour. The event takes place each February at TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course. It attracts many of the world’s best golfers alongside hundreds of thousands of spectators. No other tournament on the PGA Tour draws larger crowds over the course of a tournament week.
The atmosphere is what truly sets the event apart. Unlike the quiet galleries seen at most tournaments, fans here are encouraged to bring energy and excitement. The famous par-3 16th has become known as the “stadium hole.” Players are cheered onto the tee and celebrated for great shots. It adds to the show and creates one of the most unique experiences in professional golf.
The tournament has been part of the PGA Tour schedule since the 1930s, although it has grown dramatically over the past few decades. Today it combines elite competition with concerts, hospitality venues, and one of the biggest social events on Scottsdale’s February calendar.
For many visitors, attending the tournament is about more than watching golf. It’s a chance to experience one of the world’s most distinctive sporting events while enjoying everything North Scottsdale has to offer.
Why Skip the Hotel for a Private Estate?
Finding where to stay WM Phoenix Open week can be almost as competitive as the golfing action. Hotel prices often rise significantly for properties close to TPC Scottsdale. A group booking five hotel rooms at $500 or more per night can quickly find accommodation becoming one of the biggest expenses of the trip.
A private estate offers a different approach. Instead of paying for multiple rooms spread across a hotel, the group shares one spacious property with room to gather before and after each day at the tournament. It is easy to picture the scene…Breakfast together or evening drinks by the pool. The post-round conversations all happen in the same place rather than across separate hotel floors.
The experience extends beyond the tournament itself. Guests who decide to skip a day at the course can enjoy amenities such as the golf simulator. This has modes for practice but also friendly competitions the group can engage in. There are also luxurious outside spaces for relaxing and enjoying the view.
There’s also a practical advantage. Returning from a busy day at TPC Scottsdale to a private estate is a very different experience from walking into a packed hotel lobby filled with other tournament guests.Groups have the space to relax and check out the tournament highlights together (or just grab a meal after a day of watching some world class golf).
Phoenix Open group accommodation comes in many forms. A private estate offers both convenience and a more memorable way to experience tournament week.

Accommodation close to TPC Scottsdale often books months in advance. It’s worth securing both tickets and somewhere to stay as early as possible.
There are several ticket options to choose from. General admission provides access to the course and its famous atmosphere, while premium hospitality experiences, including venues such as the Camelback Club and other VIP packages, offer reserved seating, food, drinks, and a more relaxed way to enjoy the tournament. The best choice depends on the type of experience your group is looking for and your budget.

Getting to TPC Scottsdale is another part of the planning process. Official parking lots with shuttle buses are available during tournament week. Rideshare services are popular for visitors who want to avoid driving altogether. Traffic around the course can become busy as the week goes on. Allowing extra travel time is always a good idea. There’s plenty you can do when you’re there.
Comfortable clothing is essential. February temperatures are usually pleasant, but afternoons can still feel warm in the Arizona sun. Comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen all help make a long day on the course more enjoyable.
Hydration is just as important. Spending several hours outdoors can be dehydrating. Carrying a refillable water bottle where permitted and taking advantage of water stations throughout the course helps visitors stay comfortable from the opening tee shot to the final putt.
It is also worth checking the tournament’s official website for the latest information on things like prohibited items and event schedules. These can change from year to year.
Combining WM Open with a Golf Trip
The tournament is often only one part of the vacation. It’s easy to turn the week into a complete Scottsdale golf getaway and there are no shortage of great courses.
One popular option is to play TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course before or after attending the tournament. Experiencing the famous layout as a golfer adds a different perspective to watching the professionals tackle the same holes a few days later. There aren’t many sporting events where you get to take to the very same grass as the stars.
It’s easy to add other standout courses to the itinerary. Troon North offers one of the area’s classic desert golf experiences. Grayhawk provides two highly regarded championship layouts only a short drive away. Golf is very popular around here. There’s a refreshing mix of tournament golf and Scottsdale’s wider golf scene.
A simple three-day trip could include a round at Troon North on arrival and a final round at Grayhawk or TPC Scottsdale before heading home. Guests looking to build a longer golf vacation can also explore our complete Scottsdale golf trip planner and detailed guide to the area’s best golf courses for additional inspiration.
That combination of world-class golf and luxury accommodations is one of the reasons tournament week has become one of the most popular times of year to visit North Scottsdale.
