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.

Great course, but

The course.was in great condition and is quite scenic. But we were disappointed in a fee that was higher than the GolfNow price, a driving range that was NOT available (and for which we arrived early to use and warmup), a cart with a broken GPS, and slow pace of play. For the price, we expected a better experience.

The course was in very good shape. Pleasure to play, however the driving range was closed, supposedly due to an equipment problem. That was disappointing.

Poor green conditions/poor value for the $$

The staff was great, consistent with other high end courses. Course itself was a lot of fun & challenging to play on a windy day. We paid over $300/person, & at this price point the greens were horrendous. It looks like no one ever fixes a ball mark. I am a lower handicap, and if I had been playing a money game I would have had to fix multiple marks on most putts.

The fairways looked nice, but similar issue of people not replacing/fixing divots.

Unless you have money to burn, there are a lot of other options in Scottsdale in the $100’s & $200’s.

Bad Luck with Group in Front

It was Cart Path only which was fine and the pace of play was what was expected, until the last 2 holes. It looked like they had sent out a group of 12 (3 4-somes) in front and they decided to congregate on the 17th hole, and holding up all the groups behind them by about 20-30 minutes. We tried to contact the clubhouse via their carts like we were instructed to but no one came. It was also unfortunate they did not have a marshall.

The groups in front of us were extremely inconsiderate as we continuously saw fresh/new pitch marks on the greens that were not repaired and trash littered on multiple holes (snack bags, beer cans, ball sleeves, etc).

Wish they had a better system of controlling these people as it really ruined the experience.

I Expected Better

This course has a great track. It’s challenging but would be great for any level of golfer. The staff in the pro shop were excellent, the starter “average”. The fairways were in great shape and had just been over seeded. My disappointment came with the greens. They made the course feel very “touristy” in that the greens were pockmarked with divots and I wouldn’t have expected that based on the cost to play this course.

Awful pace of play

Course was cart path only. It took us 3 hours to play 9 holes. I have never played a round of golf anywhere in the world this slow. Awful.

The longest day in golf

Course in decent shape, but no Marshall It took us 6 and 1/2 hours to play 18 holes. At the end of the round we were just trying to finish. People we’re steady coming around us from 15 in because they had had enough and knew there was no way they would finish before dark. Just sad paying this much money to be miserable

Terrible Tee Time Management & a “Water” Tax

I have been waiting for months to play this course. Extremely expensive place to play for your average Joe. First things first, Troon charges a “water tax”that wasn’t on any documents from Golfnow. It was $10 more for us with the explanation of “we have to truck water in” Ridiculous. No other course in AZ does this in my years of golfing the Phoenix area. Course was in beautiful condition and has breath taking views. The Monument course was closed for seeding. We were on the Pinnacle course. Troon decided in their infinite wisdom to overload the course with foursome after foursome. The first 4 holes went by with minor waiting for the group in front of us. At Hole 5 we sat and waited for 25 minutes until the 3 groups in front of us were able to clear. The course Marshall was a very nice man and was able to get us a refund due to the fact that the course was overloaded and we wouldn’t finish before dark. Unbelievably disappointing. Luckily the course manager was reachable by phone in order to get us our refund from the kid in the pro shop. Completely unacceptable behavior from supposedly the best course in Arizona. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Troon North Monument course

A memorable experience at the Troon North, although we could only finish 14 holes. Our tee was at 2:50pm (at $146). However the pace was at minimum 4.5 hours round so we didn’t finish before it’s dark. The range was closed due to over seeding so no proper warm up. Hope to come back to finish it sometime in the future.
