The Greatest Show on Grass
The Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale is the best-attended golf tournament in the world, and it's not even close. Drawing over 700,000 fans across the week, the "People's Open" is as much a party as it is a sporting event — especially at the legendary 16th hole, where the atmosphere rivals a college football stadium.
As a result, the savviest Phoenix Open groups skip the hassle entirely with a party bus. Here's how to make the most of your WM Phoenix Open transportation.
Fun Fact
The WM Phoenix Open's 16th hole is the loudest venue in all of golf. The par-3, stadium-style hole holds over 20,000 fans who cheer, boo, and celebrate every shot. The WM Phoenix Open routinely draws among the largest crowds on the PGA Tour.
Why a Party Bus Is the Move
- Skip the parking chaos — your driver drops you at the gate and picks you up when you're done
- Pre-game on the bus with music, drinks, and your crew — the party starts before you arrive
- No surge pricing or rideshare waits at the end of the day
- Keep your group together all day — no splitting up in traffic
- Coolers and wet bars mean you're stocked for the ride home too
- Post-tournament, hit Scottsdale's nightlife on the same rental
Logistics & Timing Tips
- Saturday is the biggest day: Saturday draws huge crowds — book early, this is our busiest single day of the year.
- Thursday/Friday offer a more relaxed experience with smaller crowds and easier transportation.
- Plan for a 6–8 hour rental: Allow time for the drive, arrival, the event itself, and the ride home.
- Bus staging: TPC Scottsdale has designated bus drop-off and pick-up zones. Share the complete itinerary so route access and timing can be reviewed.
- Combine with nightlife: Many groups attend the tournament during the day and hit Scottsdale bars afterward — all on the same party bus rental.
What to Bring

- Comfortable walking shoes — TPC Scottsdale is a big course
- A jacket for late afternoon — temps can drop into the 50s°F after sunset
