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.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Desert
Par 71
Length 7009 yards
Slope 147
Rating 73.2

Pinnacle at Troon North represents a stunning, challenging golf experience blended into the high Desert's natural beauty with steep arroyos, natural washes and forests of saguaros and desert foliage. Portions of some fairways are hidden behind boulders and hills. Huge greens surrounded by large bunkers and sloping terrain challenge golfers on every approach shot.

A round of golf on the Pinnacle Course at the Troon North Golf Club kicks off on a par-4 hole that measures 392 yards from the Black tees. Things get crazy long on the 16th hole, a par 5 that plays to 609 yards from the Black tees. By that measure, the 18th hole will be a cakewalk, at par-4 and just 447 yards from the Black tee to the clubhouse.

After finishing the Pinnacle Course at Troon North Golf Club, head to the Grille, which offers a view of others trying to complete the course you've conquered, as well as the desert.

Pristine course, real desert golf

We played the monument course (late summer conditions). So many memorable holes, but be warned if you’re a mid or high handicap both courses at troon are thin. Every tee shot is intimidating. Practice your game, bring plenty of golf balls, and get your camera ready.

Bad shape and service for a Troon Course

Customer service was this course biggest feature, all that great customer service vanished w Covid. Staff was NOT helpful and nice, what a change!!!! On top of that, no greetings, course layout directions given, NO sand in either sand can, not enough water on course for summer and for the sake of God, this is AZ summer, put air conditioners in restrooms if your still going to charge a premium rate this time of year.

VERY DISAPPOINTED TROON EXPERIENCE

Great golf experience

I’ve played a lot of the top rated courses in Arizona. In my opinion, both Troon north courses are easily in the top 5 , if not the two best courses in the state that are open to the public.
