What makes it work for bachelor parties is the balance: great golf during the day, then energy and entertainment at night, no massive logistics or long drives in between.

Step 1: Choose the Right Golf Courses
Don’t just book the cheapest tee times, mix and match by vibe:
Day 1 – Warm-Up Round
Papago or Orange Tree
Affordable, flat layouts to ease into the weekend. Fly-in friendly.
Day 2 – Bucket List Round
TPC Scottsdale or Troon North
This is your showstopper round. TPC Scottsdale is the place for a bachelor's weekend photo-op, and your group will feel like you’re playing the back nine on a Sunday finish.
Day 3 – Recover and Send Off
Talking Stick or Silverado
Chill final round with wide fairways and easy logistics. Some groups skip golf this day, others make it their most fun.
