Scottsdale Bachelor Party Activities: The Best Things To Do on Your Guys Trip

Planning a Scottsdale Arizona bachelor party and staring at a group chat full of "idk, whatever works"? We've got you. We've been planning events in Scottsdale since 2018, more than 2,000 of them, and guys trips and bachelor parties are a big part of that. Here are the Scottsdale bachelor party activities we actually book for groups, from tee times to pool days to the bars worth your Saturday night. Pick what sounds good, and we'll handle the reservations so your weekend in Scottsdale feels planned instead of improvised.

Want it handled start to finish? Let us plan and book the whole weekend.

Things to Do in Scottsdale for a Bachelor Party or Guys Trip

Every group is different, so think of these bachelor party activities as a menu. Pick one big daytime plan, one big night, and leave room to recover. The best bachelor party in Scottsdale is the one where nobody spends Saturday morning arguing about where to eat, or on hold trying to get a table for twelve.

Golf Courses and Golf Days

Golf is the most requested daytime plan we get for guys trips, and Scottsdale's golf courses are a big reason groups pick the city. Tee times go fast on spring weekends, so tell us how many are playing and we'll lock them in early. A few we like for groups:

• Camelback Golf Club: two 18-hole courses, Ambiente and Padre, at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn. Ambiente brings big elevation changes and mountain views, and Padre is the more classic, tree-lined round. A great pick for a full golf day.

• The Short Course at Mountain Shadows: 18 par-3 holes under Camelback Mountain that play in about two and a half hours. It's the move when half the group golfs and half doesn't, and Rusty's Bar & Grille is right there for the 19th hole.

• TPC Scottsdale: home of the WM Phoenix Open and its famous stadium 16th hole. If someone in the group has been waiting years to play it, this is the round.

Prefer to skip 18 holes entirely? A Topgolf session or a driving range happy hour keeps everyone together. We handle golf day coordination and tee time booking at whichever course you want, and our golf-themed "Let's Partee" setup can be waiting at the rental when you get back.

Pool Parties, Day Clubs, and Private Pool Days

Scottsdale pool parties come in two flavors: the big day club scene or a private pool day at your rental.

• Maya Day + Night: Old Town's best-known day club, reopened in 2025 after a full renovation. Cabanas and tables sell out on busy weekends, so let us book yours ahead.

• W Scottsdale: a pool and lounge scene right in the middle of Old Town, an easy walk to the bars once the sun goes down. Tell us your date and we'll reserve a spot for the group.

• Your own private pool: a lot of groups skip the day club lines entirely and throw the party at the house. Our GAT Angels host the pool party at your rental, handle drinks, and keep the energy up so nobody's stuck playing bartender.

Sonoran Desert Adventures

If the group wants something that isn't a bar, get out into the Sonoran Desert. ATV and UTV tours, jeep tours, and guided hikes all put you in the desert landscapes you flew in to see, and they make a good morning plan before a pool afternoon. Our go-to is Wild West Jeep Tours, a guided jeep tour through the desert that works for any fitness level and means nobody has to drive. Book a morning slot in warmer months, since the desert heats up fast after lunch. Tell us the group size and we'll book the tour around the rest of your weekend.

Party Bike and Party Bus Crawls

• Arizona Party Bike: a pedal-powered bar crawl through Old Town that stops at local bars along the way. It's a staple for a reason, and it's the easiest way to see a lot of Old Town without anyone driving. We book the ride and time it with the rest of your day.

• Party bus: for bigger groups or nights that hit more than one area, a party bus keeps everyone together and gets you between bars and clubs without wrangling eight rideshares. Give us the plan and we'll book the bus.

Whiskey, Tequila, and Craft Beer Tastings

• Fox Cigar Bar: a deep whiskey, bourbon, and scotch list, leather chairs, an outdoor patio, and plenty of TVs for whatever game is on. Let us know when you're coming and we'll set it up for the group.

• Craft beer: Scottsdale has a solid brewery scene, and a brewery crawl is an easy afternoon between golf and dinner. Our picks are Goldwater Brewing Company in Old Town, Fate Brewing Company, and Pinnacle Brewing Company. Tell us the vibe and we'll line up the stops, or book a group tasting so nobody's waiting at the bar.

• Private tastings at your rental: we set up guided whiskey and bourbon tastings and tequila tastings right at the house, so the group gets the experience without leaving the pool.

Where to Eat for a Bachelor Party in Scottsdale

• Fogo de Chão: a Brazilian steakhouse near Old Town's entertainment district, built for a big group that wants a lot of food and a fun room. Large tables fill up on weekends, so let us make the reservation.

• Maple & Ash: one of the local favorites for a celebration dinner, walking distance from Old Town nightlife, with a big cocktail list and dining options built around your group. Tell us the night and headcount and we'll book it.

• Le Âme at The Global Ambassador: a Parisian steakhouse on Camelback Road, a short ride from Old Town, for the dinner where everyone actually dresses up. We'll book the table.

• théa: The Global Ambassador's Mediterranean rooftop with Camelback Mountain views. Grab a sunset table or start the night with drinks before dinner, and let us handle the reservation.

• Pink Dolphin: poolside Mexican and Peruvian small plates and margaritas at the same hotel, an easy daytime hang before the night gets going.

• Hearth '61 at Mountain Shadows: the resort's signature restaurant and an easy dinner after a round on the Short Course. Tell us your night and we'll book it.

• Private chef at the house: for the night you'd rather not put on real shoes, we bring a private chef to your rental so dinner happens by the pool.

Old Town Scottsdale Bars and Clubs

Old Town is where the night happens. Whether you want to bar hop or lock in a VIP table, it's all within a few blocks. Our go-tos for bachelor parties are Barstool Scottsdale, Riot House, and Bottled Blonde. We book VIP tables and bottle service so the group skips the line and stays together. If the weekend lines up with a game, we have a full post on the best sports bars in Scottsdale.

Scottsdale Bachelor Party Ideas That Make the Weekend Easier

The details are what separate a good weekend from a great one. These are the add-ons groups ask us for most:

• Fill the fridge: groceries and alcohol stocked before you land, so the first stop isn't a grocery store. We have a full post on how it works.

• Luggage service: we pick up your bags and drop them at the rental so you can start the weekend before check-in. Our full post covers the details.

• Decor setups: custom banners, balloons, and themed setups like Groom Squad and Saturdays Are For The Boys, waiting when you walk in.

• Recovery brunch: bagels and Bloody Marys at the house the morning after, plus mobile IV hydration if the group needs it.

Scottsdale Bachelor Party Planning Tips

After a lot of guys trips, these are the things we see make or break a weekend:

• Book early for spring. February through April is peak season, and spring training weekends book up fast. Lock in your rental, tee times, and VIP tables 60 to 90 days out, or send us the dates and we'll do it.

• Stay close to Old Town. A rental within walking distance of the bars saves you a fortune in rideshares and a lot of 1 a.m. headcounts.

• Don't overschedule. One big daytime plan and one big night per day is plenty. The best moments usually happen in the gaps, by the pool.

• Collect money up front. Have one person collect deposits before anything gets booked. Chasing Venmo requests on the flight home is nobody's idea of a good time.

• Respect the desert. Drink more water than you think you need, especially on golf and pool days, and keep outdoor plans to the morning when it's hot.

• Check the dress code. Many Old Town clubs enforce one for VIP tables, so pack at least one outfit that isn't a golf polo.

Scottsdale Bachelor Party FAQ

What should we do on a guys trip in Scottsdale?

Build each day around one big daytime plan and one big night. Most groups book a round at Camelback Golf Club or the Short Course at Mountain Shadows, a pool day at Maya Day + Night or their own rental, a desert jeep tour, a brewery crawl, and a VIP table in Old Town. Add a private chef night and a recovery brunch, and you've got a full weekend. Send us your dates and we'll book all of it.

Where should we stay in Scottsdale for a bachelor party?

If nightlife is the priority, stay within walking distance of Old Town. You'll save on rideshares and keep the group together at 1 a.m. If golf and pool days matter more, a rental with a pool in Kierland or Paradise Valley gives you more room to spread out.

What are the best Scottsdale bachelor party activities?

Golf, a pool day at a day club or your rental, a desert ATV or UTV tour, a party bike crawl through Old Town, and a VIP night out cover most groups. Pick one big daytime plan and one big night per day.

When is the best time for a bachelor party in Scottsdale?

Spring and fall have the best weather for golf and desert tours, and they book up fastest. Summer is prime pool season, just plan outdoor activities for the morning.

Can you plan a bachelor party and a bachelorette party for the same weekend?

Yes. A lot of couples do both in Scottsdale before the big day. We plan bachelorette parties too, so both groups can have their own weekend and meet up for one night if they want.
