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.

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 golf course!!

This was my first time playing here. It was a bit of a drive from the hotel but the TCP course was closed down for seeding. Glad I tried this course, beautiful views and the course was in great shape. I am a 10 handicap so I knew this was going to be a hard course. Didn't us driver much, to stay out of trouble and had a great time. Hard course but fair layout. It seemed like you had 20 yards around the greens to work with if you missed. I'll definitely play again.

OMG!!

I have played the Monument course before This was my first time at the Pinnacle The course was in truly amazing condition. Everything was perfect the pace of paly was fair why would anyone want to rush on this course teed off at 2 pm and came of at 6.25pm . The scenery the verdant green of the course made for a magical day. I played form the silver tees Slope 130 I am a 9/10 hcp. I did not have a iffy lie all day! This is a challenging course I played four other courses in the past week. This was the toughest! a slope of 130 was at the top of my capability. Use this as your guide rather than the colour of the tees as your tee markers . Played as well as I could and came in with a 77. par71/72.
Lots of wildlife including a family of Haveline on 15 /16. really good meal of North Scottsdale fish fry was superb. Thanks I will be back!!!The course director came out and chatted to us on the back nine. This was nice touch .

Fantastic views from every tee

What a great layout and a true test of golf, bad timing on my side as the course had just been overseeded so it was cart path only, but that didn't stop the enjoyment, must re-visit

Spectacular Course

The Pinnacle course is fantastic. I would have been happier with Golf Now had they told me that the driving range was closed and the course was playing cart path only. But we had a great time - because there was no one in front of us, we played in just under four hours. The course is not for beginners - and we played copper tees - but it is playable and beautiful and a real pleasure to play.

Full Disclosure

The greeting was fine and courteous. Checking in revealed what GolfNow FAILED to disclose which was the dreaded "cart path only". Local at the desk said one had to expect that this time of year. Being an outsider my response was one should expect FULL DISCLOSURE which GolfNow and its intercourse with Troon North failed to accomplish. [Wife has broken toe - would have been nice to know.] Credit to staffer who said after 9 he would see what he could do if there was a problem. Course too fantastic to bail after 9. But still.... Thought I was told a starter would get us to begin, but none showed so we ushered ourselves to the 1st tee and went on our way. Hate to think any misogyny going on since we were a heterosexual couple, cursed on top of it by being over 60. But we know our way around a course so made the best of it. It just left me with a sense of dismissiveness from the millennials working the area. I can't say enough nice things about the considerate and helpful cart lady and who can complain when she has a margarita machine - except when it was empty for the first run through but ready to go after that. Nice touch. More courses should consider getting the machine.

Great layout, slow play, and poor conditions

Overall the layout has a ton of potential. The fairways were undergoing some major repairs with several location where new sod had been laid and several dead areas. The greens were the big disappointment though, bent grass is great but they were so soft that even footprints were leaving an impression let alone all of the ball marks that were left unrepaired. The views on the back nine were very impressive and the layout was very intriguing. In better shape it would be top notch, they need to do a better job keeping play going and sending a snack cart around more often.

great views

I played it on an off day where I was losing balls right. This is not a course where you can afford to do that. Very tight fairways, to me it resembled target golf and frankly the course was beyond my abilities that day.

With that said, the course is immaculately maintained, the views stunning, it is definitely a very cool place to play as a tourist.

If you can keep your drives in the fairway you have a decent chance to score well, if you happen to be a high handicapper who has direction issues you may find the course somewhat frustrating. Still worth the play, just remember to pick the appropriate tees.

A must play - Monument!

1st time playing & Monument is an excellent course with spectacular views especially on the back 9! Greens running about 11 and course is in great summer condition all around. They had Pinnacle closed for maintenance & Monument is next soon. This course is in my top 3 all time at 46 yrs old! I'm an avid golfer playing 2+ times a week and a 5 handicap. Shot 73 from a combo black/gold tees (12 black & 6 gold)! Living in San Diego playing Torrey, Aviara, La Costa, Steele Canyon plus many more...this is a must play in Phoenix! I'm an ex-caddy from Pelican Hill & have seen beautiful courses! My point is...Play Monument! ;-)

Loved Pinnacle, Monument course is the ugly sister..

Played both courses back to back days this Summer. Pinnacle is a super challenging course with great views, Very few houses, the ones that you can see are 2+ million and easy on the eyes. Bring lots of balls if you dont hit'em straight.

Bar staff is super friendly. The bar grille is a gem, they have a happy hour from 3-6 every day of the week, $3 mixed drinks and beers! My new spot when I'm in town.

Troon North Pinnacle

Excellent course with classic views. Course was in great shape and well maintained. Pace of play was excellent, practice facilities were first class. Only negative was not running into a beverage cart on a 105 degree day. I would strongly recommend this course as a must play in Phoenix. Great off season rates this time of year.

This Monument is but a tiny statue!

Played Monument course and it really needs some work! Very disappointed in quality of fairways and tee boxes. Fairways bare or torn up and the mower used to cut tee boxes is uneven and scalping every box. Simple to see but no one appears to fix the issue.

Will not play again or recommend course until much needed work is completed.

Monument course

The condition of the fairways on the front nine was rather poor with many dead patches. The greens were good. Having played this course several times at this time of year it was in the poorest condition that we have experienced for many years. However, there was evidence of repair work being undertaken.

Super Course

What a treat! Had friends in town for a week that wanted to play a "Super Course". Took them to Troon North Monument & they had a GREAT time ! Friendly staff inside & out. Some new sod being put in around some greens, but otherwise in it's usual great shape! Used Golfnow to get a low rate & can"t wait to take them to play Troon North Pinnacle!
