Planning a golf trip to Scottsdale? One of the first questions you'll run into: how early do we need to book our tee times? The answer depends on when you're visiting, the size of your group, and which courses you'd like to play.
This guide breaks it down season by season and course by course, with tips for snagging the best tee times, even if you're planning a last-minute golf getaway.
Quick Answer: When to Book Scottsdale Tee Times
Book Scottsdale tee times 45–90 days in advance for peak season (October to April), especially for popular public courses like Troon North, Grayhawk, and We-Ko-Pa. For summer or shoulder season trips, 7–21 days is usually enough. Groups of 8+ should always book 60+ days ahead.

When Is Peak Golf Season in Scottsdale?
Scottsdale’s busiest golf season runs October through April, with March and November often the highest demand months due to weather, Spring Training, and bachelor party season. During this window, the best public courses fill up fast.
That’s why we recommend:
- 90 days out for elite public tracks in March (Troon, We-Ko-Pa, TPC)
- 60 days out for solid second-tier courses (Lookout Mountain, Papago, Rancho Mañana)
- 30 days out for budget or lesser-known courses
