Hotels, Tickets, Events and Instructions

Where to Stay

If you are visiting from out-of-town, here are some recommendations for nearby hotels.

Tickets to the FBR Open

General admission tickets to the FBR Open are $25 each. Children ages 17 & under are free when accompanied by an adult. The FBR Open is never sold out and tickets will be available at the TPC gate during tournament week. They can be purchased at the event, or in advance through Ticketmaster. There are also ticket packages that are a good value for people who will be attending several days of the event. Here is the detailed ticket information.

How To Get to TPC Scottsdale and Where to Park

The TPC is in North Scottsdale, right next to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort. Here are directions and a map. Leave plenty of time. The Arizona Department of Transportation usually provides detailed motorist information, including any travel or road restrictions, for the FBR Open. Call 5-1-1, then *7. The call is free.

If you do not have a reserved parking pass, you can assume that you'll be parking in an off-premises lot and taking a shuttle to the event. The parking is free and so are the shuttles. The shuttles run frequently. There will be thousands of cars there, so don't forget where you parked and which bus you need to take to get back to your car!

What Can You Bring With You

There are restrictions on what you can bring into the TPC Scottsdale, so check these restrictions before you cram your backpack full of stuff.

What Should You Bring With You

If you expect a sunny day bring water, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. A temperature of 70 degrees sounds perfect, but it can get very warm in the sun. Dress comfortably and wear walking shoes--you won't always be walking on concrete paths. If you are the type of spectator that likes to find a great spot on a particular hole and stay there all day to see all the golfers pass by, bring a blanket or low chairs and lounge away! If you have a radio with headphones, bring it and listen to the radio coverage while you watch the action.
