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

Style Desert
Par 71
Length 7009 yards

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.

Great round

The best golf staff in the valley. Show up and ask to get out early. They accommodate. Marshals on course helpful and friendly. Greens punched so slower than normal. Very good fairways and bunkers. Always enjoy playing both courses.

Very nice, challenging, great desert layout. Slow play during most of the round. Too many houses bordering the greens. If I could make a recommendation to the staff it would be to tear down 80 percent of the surrounding homes and get much closer to a full 5 star rating!

Wonderful and scenic

Course is very difficult and has the tee boxes to suit you. The beauty is in the course so if you play poorly feel fortunate that you are able to see such beauty

Excellent Course

The course from the tee boxes up to the greens was in as good of shape as a course could be. The greens had not recovered from being punched 2 weeks prior. Have played the Monument when the greens were perfect, sure these will be great in a few weeks.

Fantastic day out!

I played a round on my own while on vacation out in AZ. I got paired up with 3 really nice guys from Las Vegas and Texas. The round was long (almost 5 hours), but it didn't feel that way. The course was challenging: if you aren't on the fairway or the first cut, you're in a waste area, and the greens were rolling about a 12 on the Stimp, so you need to be confident with the stroke, but overall the course was really a pleasure to play.

Staff was just fantastic, and the practice amenities are amazing. I grabbed dinner after the round with some friends at Dynamite Grill, and the food was good.

The price was steepish at $175 for twilight, but I would say it was worth it. Just a fantastic day out, and I won't hesitate to go back next time I'm in town.

Spectacular

Course was in immaculate condition. It had rained the night before, so they enforced cart path only which slowed down play. The course layout is really stunningly beautiful--lives up to the hype . Quite penal if you are off the fairways, but they are generous sized. Beginner golfers would probably get frustrated and not enjoy it as much, because you will lose a lot of balls and/or spend a lot of time looking for balls. For intermediate or advanced golfers, it is a fun challenge on a unique and beautiful golf that is classic desert, target golf.

Absolute Perfection

To say my father, two brothers, and I were excited about playing this course would be a gross understatement. This was a “Christmas-Eve as a seven-year-old” level of anticipation. Brand new golf balls were being acquired just for the outing, my brother was contemplating what attire he should wear, and my dad was up at the crack of dawn for a 12:15 tee time.

And despite all the hype and excitement, Troon North far exceeded expectations.

What an absolutely stunning golf course. Admittedly, I haven’t played many rounds of golf on upper-echelon golf courses like this one, but I will happily and confidently put this one up against any of them.

The views alone from hole to hole are breathtaking. The combination of mountains and desert vistas with the almost emerald glow of the fairways and greens makes it almost difficult to concentrate on the task at hand.

This is why no one on the golf course is in a hurry. Many of the tee boxes act as pedestals for golfers to take in the incredible views. Sometimes you just need to take a moment to appreciate where you are and what is around you. This is perfection.

From tee box to green, you would have thought we were the first to ever play the course. It was in absolute immaculate condition. While there isn’t much room off the fairways, the fairways themselves are fair and allow for different club selections off the tee. The bunkers are soft and deep. The greens can be tricky but they roll true and aren’t too fast or hard that a good approach shot won’t bounce or roll off. This is a course maintained at a PGA TOUR level, but still fair enough for the rest of us to enjoy playing.

This is the best golf course I have ever played. And although I still have a few courses to cross off my bucket list, this may very well end up being the best golf course I ever play.

Side Note: Make time to eat at Dynamite Grill. Get the Kobe beef sliders and a basket of their fries. So good.

Wow! Beautiful but tough!

Like the Arizona desert, this course is beautiful and rugged. Most fairways are a bit narrow and you have to do well off the tee to score. Carts have great GPS graphics. Greens rolled pretty true. Staff was very nice. I recommend to anyone willing to pay the somewhat steep price tag.

A good one to play if you're in Scottsdale

The price is a little higher than other courses you can play in the area, but it's a good value for the rate. Make sure you hit the dynamite grill, the food is excellent
