WM Phoenix Open Transportation: The People's Open VIP Guide

The WM Phoenix Open is not just a golf tournament. It is the biggest party in professional golf. With hundreds of thousands of spectators over the week, the famous 16th hole stadium and Old Town Scottsdale's nightlife, transportation can make or break your Phoenix Open. Here is how to do it right, with the vehicles and rates we actually book.

Why the Phoenix Open Is Different

Other PGA stops value whisper-quiet galleries. The Phoenix Open embraces the noise:

  • 16th Hole Stadium: Thousands of fans packed into an enclosed par 3
  • Peak days: Six-figure daily attendance
  • Saturday: One of the largest single-day sporting crowds in Arizona
  • Nightlife: Old Town Scottsdale turns into golf's biggest after-party

TPC Scottsdale Logistics

The Venue

Tournament headquarters spans TPC Scottsdale's Stadium and Champions courses in North Scottsdale near Hayden and Bell Roads.

  • From Old Town: north on Scottsdale Road or the 101, far slower during the tournament
  • General parking: A long shuttle ride or walk from the course
  • Premium parking: sold separately by the tournament

Transportation Challenges

Tournament week transforms North Scottsdale. Hayden Road gridlocks from early morning, and rideshare staging sits far from the gates.

The VIP Transportation Difference

Our chauffeurs work the tournament every day of the week:

Drop-Off Access

We use the designated drop-off zones that cut walking distance, and we know which gate makes sense for your tickets.

Flexible Scheduling

The Phoenix Open runs rain or shine, early tee times to late finishes. Your chauffeur adjusts to when you actually want to leave, not a fixed schedule.

Local Expertise

Our drivers know TPC Scottsdale year-round, not just in February. Every access road, every alternative route, every exit.

The Party Group (15 to 28 people)

The Party Bus (28 Pax) turns tournament day into a complete experience: pre-round energy with the onboard sound system, a group arrival, a place to regroup after the 16th hole and a safe ride into Old Town afterward. Perfect for bachelor and bachelorette groups, corporate outings and friend reunions.

The Corporate Group (up to 14)

The Executive Sprinter gives clients leather seating, quiet space for conversation and a professional arrival. An 8-hour tournament day bills 7 hours (one free) for $1,015 plus 8% tax. With 14 on board that is about $73 per person.

Tournament Week Services

Daily Tournament Transportation

Morning drop (7:00 to 8:00 AM): Hotel or residence pickup, drop at the best gate for your tickets, chauffeur confirms return timing.

Evening pickup (5:00 to 7:00 PM): Text-based coordination and a head start on the traffic rush.

All-day service: Your chauffeur stays with the group so you can leave for lunch, come back, or roll straight into Old Town.

Multi-Day Bookings

Thursday through Sunday gives you full tournament coverage. Friday and Saturday are the peak atmosphere days. Each day is billed as its own hourly booking.

Beyond the Course

Old Town Scottsdale Nightlife

Tournament nights light up Old Town. The stops cluster on and around Scottsdale Road. Our nightlife service covers tournament pickup, dinner, bar hopping and a safe late-night return.

Drinking on Board

Adults can drink on board. Arizona's open-container law, A.R.S. § 4-251, exempts passengers in a vehicle for hire such as a party bus or limousine. It is BYOB, everyone drinking must be 21 or older, and the driver never drinks. If anyone on board is under 21, no alcohol at all. You can read the full explainer.

Dining

The popular post-golf tables sit a short run from the course along Scottsdale Road. Reserve your table when you set the itinerary; your chauffeur handles the timing.
