Nearly two years after DraftKings announced plans to open a retail sportsbook at the TPC Scottsdale golf club the facility is inching closer to opening this fall.
Once completed, the 13,000-square-foot facility that sits on a 3.2-acre parcel on the southeast corner of Hayden and Bell roads will include a 390-seat indoor sports betting area equipped with 40 individual betting kiosks, seven ticket windows and two VIP rooms that can accommodate up to 16 people.
Over 3,400 square feet of video walls and screens will be located throughout the venue. The bar that will offer brands of beer, many from local brewers, as well as wines and mixed drinks and the restaurant will serve upscale bar food.
The outdoor patio with be equipped with video screens, VIP cabanas and fire pits.
DraftKings will staff the retail sportsbook portion and TPC Scottsdale will manage food and beverage.
Construction broke ground in May 2022, less than a month after the Scottsdale Planning Commission approved the sports book.
TPC is currently in the process of hiring managers and intends to host a job fair in September to fill as many as 90 positions.
Brad Williams, TPC Scottsdale general manager and regional director of operations, said they need that many employees because the facility could be open from 11 a.m. to midnight on weekdays and open as early as 9 a.m. on weekends.
However, official hours of operation have not yet been determined.
