Where to Stay for the WM Phoenix Open 2027: Vacation Rentals Near TPC Scottsdale
Every February, the golf world turns its eyes to Scottsdale for the WM Phoenix Open — the loudest, largest-attended tournament on the PGA Tour. Known as “The People’s Open,” it draws hundreds of thousands of fans to TPC Scottsdale for a week of championship golf, the famous rowdy 16th hole, and some of the best parties in Arizona. If you are planning to be there for the 2027 tournament, where you stay will shape your whole trip. Here is a local’s guide to the best WM Phoenix Open vacation rentals near the course.
Quick answer: The WM Phoenix Open is held in early February at TPC Scottsdale in North Scottsdale. Stay in North Scottsdale to be closest to the course, or Old Town to pair the golf with nightlife. Groups save money and get far more space in a private vacation rental with a pool than in separate hotel rooms — and the best homes book months in advance.
When Is the WM Phoenix Open 2027?
The WM Phoenix Open is held every year in early February at TPC Scottsdale in North Scottsdale. Tournament week runs Monday through Sunday, with the biggest crowds arriving Thursday through Saturday. Exact dates and ticket details are posted on the official WM Phoenix Open site. Because the tournament overlaps with Scottsdale’s peak winter season — and sometimes the same stretch as Barrett-Jackson and the start of Spring Training — homes near the course book up months in advance.
Why Rent a Home Instead of a Hotel for the Open
Phoenix Open week is a group event. Most people come with friends, clients, or family, and hotel rooms near the course sell out fast at a premium. A vacation rental changes the math: you get a private pool and patio to recover between rounds, a full kitchen for breakfasts before the gates open, room for everyone to spread out, and a backyard that becomes your own after-party instead of a crowded bar. For groups of six or more, booking one large group vacation rental is almost always better value than four or five separate hotel rooms.

North Scottsdale puts you closest to TPC Scottsdale and the golf, with resort-style estates and quick access to the course. Old Town Scottsdale is the move if your group wants to pair the golf with Scottsdale’s famous nightlife — it is a short rideshare to both the Entertainment District and the course.
