Course Highlights
Troon North consistently impresses with flawless greens, well-maintained fairways, and a challenging desert layout framed by stunning Arizona scenery. Attentive staff and strong overall value make this one of Phoenix's top public course experiences.

Rating 73.3

The deserts of Arizona are the last place you'd expect to find an ode to the British Open but the Monument course at Troon North is a love song to the golf courses on the other side of the Atlantic, from the ability to play bump-and-run shots into greens into the names of some of the holes.

A round of golf on the Monument Course at the Troon North Golf Club kicks off on a par-4 hole that measures 444 yards from the Black tees. Things get long on the third hole, a par 5 that plays to 564 yards from the Black tee and is one of four holes that come in at over 500 yards from the Black tees.

The 18th hole on the Monument Course at the Troon North Golf Club will be a relative breeze, then, a par 4 that measures just 370 yards from the Black tees.

Expectations met!

Many courses have a reputation of greatness or excellence as did Troon. Many don't live up to their reputation. Troon met or exceeded all my expectations and hope to play it again someday. Beautiful, well maintained, landscaped course. Greens were on the fast side but the ran true. Highly recommended.

One of the Best Courses in the World

Just an awesome place to play golf. Yes, you are paying good money to play, but the course conditions, staff, beautiful scenery, and overall experience is top class.

Everyone on the staff makes sure you are taken care of. I can't emphasize this enough. This is how you would want to be treated.

The course is prefect green and the grass is extremely well kept. I found the greens quick, but not ridiculous. The design of the course is nice. The location and scenery is just incredible.

I have played many of the great courses in the world, and I would rate Troon North right up there with all of them. It's just a wonderful experience.

I even got to talk briefly with Alice Cooper, who is a golf nut and friendly. He still pushes the Callaway gear.

This is one of the courses that should be on everyone's bucket list. You won't be disappointed.

Great Golf Course

This golf course is rated one of the best courses in Scottsdale and I would agree. Pristine conditions and a friendly staff make it all worth it. You have to play here at least once in your life.

Cart Path Only Stinks

They don't tell you it's cart path only until after you have already made the reservation. I would have changed it, but couldn't because of the fees. Other than that it was fun.

Throw away $300+

Threesome followed by threesome followed twosome followed by onesome followed by twosome .... left my wife and I quitting after six holes and two hours. Sunset was heading our way.

You get the point, pay top $ after rain delay with zero consideration of customer satisfaction by mgt ... not happy.

Beautiful course

Spectacular course. Five separate tee choices made for the perfect overall yardage choice. My wife loved the ladies tees which were at times 100 yards closer then the men's tees. Weather turned cold on us and it rained for about half the round which was unexpected. Course condition was impeccable though. Best we've experienced so far here in the Scottsdale area.

Memorable Day Great course

I've wanted to play this course for years and thrilled I had the chance this year. The course is in fabulous condition. Fairways were lush and the ball sat up consistently on all 18 holes. Greens held shots well and rolled true and fast. Scenery was awesome. The course was challenging but fair. I played the gold tees and at 6700 yards demanded long and short iron shots alike. Great day and a memorable round. Can't wait to come back at play again! Thanks for a great day Troon North staff!!

Best Public course in Scottsdale

We played as a threesome on the Monument course on a Thursday afternoon. Arrived early to have a nice lunch overlooking the putting green prior to hitting the range.

The course was in great condition and the greens rolled well and had nice speed. I hit a variety of different clubs from the tee in order to keep it on the fairway, which is key here. The GPS on the carts is a plus.

We played in 4 hours which is great for an afternoon round. A must play if your in the area.

Fantastic in Every Way

Top notch staff, incredible facility, one of the better pro shops I have ever been in that wasnt a pga tour tract, immaculate greens/fairways. Challenging but not unfair. Honestly, one of my favorite courses I have ever played anywhere in the US.

Must play

Great course in excellent condition. Fairways were excellent. Played every shot "down" except for one when I was in an unrepaired divot. Greens rolled great...about a 10-10 1/2 on the stimp. They were bentgrass but fighting a poa invasion. The greens still rolled great but I was told they were going to be re-done .

My only disappointment was I had reserved the round at a rate of $146 but was charged $165......still a good rate for the course but really didn't get a satisfactory answer as to the "why" of the change.

Despite that only blemish....I would highly recommend this a must play course.

Top Notch!

Got a great GN rate for a midday teetime and got to the course early enough to use the range. Great welcome service from the bag drop and Pro when checking in. Good quality range and range balls so a good warm up and a test of the putting stroke before being sent to the first tee.

We had expected to be paired up with another couple but the starter let us go as a two although this was a bit frustrating for the first few holes being behind a very slow 4 Ball. However the Marshall soon sorted that out and we were let through very promptly so having played the first 3 holes in just under an hour we then played millionaire golf for the rest of the round without seeing anyone else in front and finished in just under 4 hours so great POP.

Carts are well equipped with a good Touch screen GPS that made my range finder redundant

Course was immaculately prepared with only a couple of holes, apart from the short holes, being cart path only which was understandable given the recent heavy rains in this area. Greens were very good, not overly quick, some evidence of pitch marks but given our teetime these may just have been from the mornings play.

Overall a great experience. We'd played Boulders twice earlier in the holiday and thought that course would be difficult to beat but I felt the undulating fairways of Troon Pinnacle just pipped the North at Boulders but both course get a 5 Star rating from me and my wife.

Swing slow!

Perfect timing

I Looked on your web site for deals on playing a nice course in Phoenix area for after church on Sunday. I was very surprised to find Troon North had one tee time available at 11:25 am at half price! It was at the perfect time for my friend and I to go to church and still have time to get to the course. Anyone who has played Troon North knows what an awesome course it is and we were thankful to get to play it at such a great price.

Good course layout and nice scenery

The course conditions weren't the best. Pockmarked and slow greens with inconsistent speeds. Excellent layout and the clubhouse. Restaurant is very good. Golf Staff attitude must improve if they want customers to return. Overall, these weren't $200+ courses. I expected better experience overall

Great course

Had the first tee time as a single so played at my speed (quickly). Course was in great shape, very true bent grass greens. Overseeded this time of year so green. If I could play a course every day, this would be it. Moderately scenic, desert is close but not intrusive.

Not worth $170+

The course itself is asthethcally beautiful!

The entire course including the bunkers were saturated ( it hadn't rained for a week ). The greens were ok , however seemed to have some type of fungus in spots. More than half of the tee boxes had no signs indicating my specific tees , so I was driving back and forth looking for them.

Workmen were mowing while in the middle of shots.

Hit it Straight

As we were checking in staff informed us that the Pinnacle course was the more challenging/difficult course compared to the Monument course, also located at Troon North. Even though I have not played the Monument course I would agree the Pinncale is the more difficult out of the two. You need to keep the ball in the green stuff or you will be hitting the ball out of the dirt, rocks or bushes. Great warm up facilities, unlimited balls to hit, putting greeen and a chipping green, which I'm starting to expect from top notch golf courses. A great desert course. The best condition course we played in Scottsdale.

Nice dessert course

It is nice dessert course. If you can not stay in the turf, your ball goes to the dessert and bush. But fairways and greens are perfectly maintained. You can ne good score if you hit strait.

Absolutely Beautiful course in great condition

I was out here visiting family and played here as well as Grayhawk and Sunridge Canyon. This course was in fantastic condition. The fairways were on par, greens moving at a perfect speed. I was very impressed with the course and the scenery is astonishing. Staff was very friendly and overall good experience. Anyone who enjoys this course should also look to play at Sunridge Canyon, I had a great experience there and it is a similar style. Both courses challenging but very fun.
