Is it better to rent a house or book a hotel for a Scottsdale golf trip?

For groups of 6–16+, vacation rentals usually offer more space, a private pool or hot tub, shared hangout areas, and better per-person value than booking multiple hotel rooms. Smaller groups (2–4) may prefer hotels or stay-and-play resorts for convenience.

What group size do these Scottsdale vacation rentals accommodate?

Most featured homes sleep 8–16+ comfortably, with multiple bedrooms, en-suite options, and large common areas. If your group is 2–6 players, smaller rentals and hotel options are also available.

Which Scottsdale areas are best to stay for golf trips and nightlife?

Old Town Scottsdale is ideal for nightlife and dining; North Scottsdale/Kierland offers quick access to many public courses; East Valley spots like Mesa and Tempe can deliver excellent value with easy drives to popular courses.

What amenities should golf groups look for in a Scottsdale rental?

Top amenities include a private pool and spa, outdoor BBQ and seating, a game room or theater, and golf-friendly extras like a backyard putting green. Open kitchens and large living areas make post-round hangouts easy.

How close are these homes to Scottsdale’s public golf courses?

Drive times typically range from 10–30 minutes to popular public courses such as TPC Scottsdale, Talking Stick, Papago, Grayhawk, and We-Ko-Pa, depending on where you stay.

Are bachelor parties allowed at these vacation rentals?

Many homes welcome well-behaved groups, including bachelor trips, but house rules vary by property. Always review occupancy limits, quiet hours, and event policies on the listing before booking.
