Scottsdale, Arizona

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I’ll be attending a bachelor party next month in Scottsdale with 5 of my closest friends. We are all in our late twenties... we have a great house rented for 3 nights and have tee times booked at Troon North. Outside of golf one or two afternoons and most likely the casinos in the evenings, is there anything else we should look into doing as a group? Restaurant/bar/club recommendations? Most of us are single, is it worth going into Tempe and mingling with the college and post-grad aged crowd? Is Phoenix where we should spend most of our time? Originally we wanted to go to a city near a beach but the groom has never been to Arizona and wanted to do some desert golfing for the first time. 

 

Any insight would be helpful!

Play We-Ko-pa golf course. Beautiful course. In my opinion better than Troon.

Ive been there once and Scottdale is an amazing place.  Cant recall the resturants we hit but there are plenty around.

I only know not to turn left at Albuquerque,....Flagstaff.

What type of restaurants?

Mastros is really good but pricey.

The Mission in Scottdale

Los Dos Molinos is amazing and spicy

Culinary Dropout is a cool place.

Old Town is plenty fun

Old town is pretty much where you should be each night. The clubs and women there are simply amazing.  Hefe is really great for the 20’s crowd.

I second Mission for a good dinner. Another great spot is House of Tricks in Tempe.

Definitely do a hike at Camelback, I like doing it around sunrise (you will be up early anyway). Nothing better that watching the sunrise on top of a mountain. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen. 

I also recommend going out on lake pleasant if you can. In the weekends, there is a great boat party scene. 

Also there are many great breweries, too many to name.  And finally “it” is medically legal out there.

Thanks all! Pumped to get there.

Right now the itinerary looks something like this:

All arrive Thursday morning. Hit up Topgolf to get the beers flowing and swing warmed up for Friday. After Topgolf, we are going to head to the Air BnB house we have booked and get groceries for the trip. Thursday night we will grill out by the pool, crush beers, and get ready to go into Old Town for the night. 

Friday during the morning/early afternoon we are going to have breakfast at the house and just chill out by the pool. We have a tee time at Troon North for Friday around 2pm. Post-golf, dinner out somewhere followed by Old Town or one of the casinos. 

Saturday morning we are thinking of hiking Camelback mountain, getting a quick 9 in, and then hitting a day club and doing the whole bottles/cabana ordeal. Saturday evening we will hopefully recover a little bit before hitting Old Town and potentially one of the casinos again.

Strong plan. 

Im gonna bet there is no way you complete all the activities on Saturday. If so, you guys are a bunch of badasses. 

Also, there are really good strip clubs, if your into that sort of thing...

Yeah, Saturday’s plans as of right now are definitely a little ambitious. I’m thinking half of us will be all set with playing more golf by the time Saturday rolls around. Maybe half the crew will go hike Camelback while the other half plays 9. Either way, I’ll be sure to report back on our shenanigans. Been nice having something like this to look forward to for a while now.
