Scottsdale's place in the Bach app's marketplace, per its CEO in 2023
Second only to Nashville, by one planning app's count.
The CEO of Bach told KJZZ, the Phoenix public radio station, that Scottsdale was the app's No. 2 location, with Nashville traditionally the big winner. That is one company's marketplace, not a national count, but it matches why planners say groups come: sunshine, restaurants and photos.

Where this comes from
As published by the city, the state and the places named, in September 2026.
The places named here
Every resort, pool club, bar, restaurant and tour on this page is named by at least three independent sources, at least one of them authoritative, and its hours and terms are as published on its own website in September 2026. Revelwick has not visited them, does not rate them and is not paid by them.
Where the reasons come from
The reasons are from a KJZZ story in June 2023, where the quoted figures are the companies' own claims, and from Experience Scottsdale and City of Scottsdale pages. Rental, noise and pedal bar rules are from the Scottsdale Revised Code, drinking rules from the Arizona Revised Statutes, and weather from NOAA and the National Weather Service.
