Jump to Section
Scottsdale golf trips are legendary, but the best ones don’t happen by accident. Whether you’re heading out with the guys for a bachelor party or organizing a buddies trip for the crew, a little pre-trip planning goes a long way.
This is your ultimate Scottsdale golf trip checklist, everything to confirm, pack, and prep before wheels up.
Quick Answer: What Should Be on Your Scottsdale Golf Trip Checklist?
Book tee times 30–90 days out, choose the right courses for your group, confirm lodging and transportation, pack for warm weather (even in winter), and plan your off-course downtime.
Whether you're planning solo or with a crew, this list covers everything you need for a smooth trip.
1. Confirm Tee Times (30–90 Days Out)
Scottsdale's best public courses book fast, especially in peak season (Oct–May). For groups of 4+, book at least a month out. For bachelor parties or large groups (8–12+), aim for 60–90 days ahead.
Pro Tip: Some courses, like Troon North and Grayhawk, offer replay deals. Check if you can lock in afternoon discounts.
