Pinnacle at Troon North Golf Club

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!

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.

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

Greens need a lot of work

Lots of poa in all the greens

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don't miss it. The course has great views and multiple tee boxes so all handicaps can enjoy. Super conditioning.

Very nice golfing experience, great layout, especially liked the par 3's. Only drawback was the amount of divots that were not repaired and ball marks on greens that were not repaired, I don't really fault the course for these problems, it's the players who are inconsiderate to others.

Although cart path only, due to recent overseeding,, the course was not only in good shape, but represented good value too. The Trron Nrth courses always represent a good challenge to all golfers, although in past xperience, you can encounter pace problems. Not on this occasion though, as everyone moved round well, without the need for any ranger pressing slow foursomes. Greens ran fairly true, albeit they showed evidence of heavy play in recent times . All facilities first class, and the Dynamite Grill in clubhouse always represents fantastic value and good food- particularly helped by everyday specials and Happy Hours.

Any visitor to North Scottsdale visiting here should not be disappointed.

Nice course, friendly staff. I don't fell this course is worth $239

I really enjoy this course and it was in great shape. My only complaint is the pace of play. We were over five hours for our round.

Just a great experience overall. Beautiful course. One of the best I have ever played.

I've played golf for 50 years and lived in Arizona 46 of those. Living in the Phoenix area for the past 17 years I had not played Troon North. We played the Pinnacle course and I'll have to say that not only was the scenery awesome, the course challenging and in perfect condition BUT I would have to say that I believe the putting greens were the FINEST I've ever played in my life! I think I'd go back out just to PUTT!!! It is an expensive course BUT one you should at least play once a year!!!

We have played this course a number of times when we visit Scottsdale. One of our favorites! because of re-seeding it was cart path only so the round was longer than usual...but that's OK. The one TERRIBLE thing about this course though is the service (or lack thereof) in the dining room. This is the second time we have attempted to have lunch after golf and walked out. Both times, we went in, sat down and waited. Two women servers chatting away and would not even acknowledge us. One looked like the supervisor. Eventually I went to get my own menus right beside them. Still no acknowledgment we were there. After another 5 minutes we got up and left. As I returned the menus I asked them women if they were too busy to serve us. One said (as she walked away) oh we will get to you shortly. There were only three other tables with people so not too busy and not too busy to at least acknowledge that we were there. For this reason, I have to say that the course doesn't hold as much for us as it used to

There was an issue with the practice range, but the course played great!

The driving range was closed and this information wasn't posted anywhere. In fact, I didn't find out until I checked in and asked where it was. Unfortunately, we weren't able to warm up at all. This compounded our terrible experience as the round took almost 5 hours and the course was not in good shape. The course could be amazing if it was in better shape and they actually attempted to control pace of play.

Late morning tee time. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent locker room with showers and towels. Range is very good, but short game area is small. Very nice putting green. Starter was very helpful and personable, got us off to a good start.

Pinnacle is a very interesting course. A tough challenge from the gold tees. We were somewhat disappointed in the conditions. Some of the tees were chopped up. Several fairways had some bare areas. Fair amount of poa on numerous greens. We expected late summer conditions, but we deserved better for a $140 midday round.

The only service complaint came after the round. We tried to get a beverage after we cleaned up, but the bartender wouldn't even recognize our presence. Kind of a negative ending to a positive experience.

Good to check it off the list, but We Ko Pa is a better value without the housing.
