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.

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 Course

The course was in excellent condition, with the greens holding and true. It was very warm out, but had an ice cooler attached to the cart so that was nice.

Need to bring a gps or rangefinder as there is none on the cart. Did include a hole by hole guide, but not so helpful after the tee shot. I know that this slowed play down.

Staff was pretty indifferent at the starters table. They had an outing on the Pinnacle Course, and all the attention went there. Did not call me from the practice facility so another single went out ahead of me.

They let out three singles in a row, which slowed play down, Should have combined us for the round.

cool summer valley course

Nice to play in the summer because it located in North Scottsdale which is higher in elevation. The elevation drops the temperature almost 10 degree and provided a nice breeze

Long and Accurate Floats the Boat

It was my first round at one of the Troon links and I was not disappointed. The summer rate made it affordable for me and the unseasonably cool weather made it a pleasure.

The course was in great shape. The facilities are beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. It was a slow day, so I got to choose my course and go right out for a solo round which let me set my own pace of play.

From the Gold tees, I needed all my length off the tee on most par fours. It resulted in plenty of long irons into the greens. A game from the Tips would be a real monster unless you drive minimum 280.

The greens were in great shape, although I found them pretty easy to put as there is little undulation or significant breaks. If you're within 5 feet of the cup, it's left edge or right edge or straight on in. A little more break would have been welcome.

Overall, this is a top notch course and worth playing at least once. The course is a scenic ride through some magnificent houses and there's plenty of local wildlife to see, too.

I'd definitely go back.

WOW!!!

Played here for the first time and was completely impressed from the time you drop off your clubs until you leave at the end of your round. The staff were extremely helpful/friendly and the course conditions were incredible. This is a must play if you are in the area. Make sure you shop around for the best deal possible.

Awesome!

Great course in great shape - pretty difficult but tons of fun. Staff and facilities are great - only draw back is you don't go by the club house at the turn - bought a hot dog off the cart and it was not good/old. Got a great deal on Golf Now.

Beautiful course

Challenging course, especially the first time you play it. Several blind shots and carries. Don't get too attached to your golf ball, I lost three! Will play again while rates are low in the summer. Cart girl friendly and came around several times. Pace of play was great.

None better

Troon is and will always be the gold standard. Their course conditions are by far the best of any public course. And this holds true for every course they manage which I have been fortunate to play. The staff, the pro-shop, the practice facility, the bev carts, are all the best in the industry and this being their flagship course sets the bar high for all others.

I've played this course many times and I never grow tired of the course. Its a great challenge but not too punitive. Its gorgeous and plays swift. There is a reason that Troon North always appears at the top of the lists of best of, its because it truly is the best. Granted the greens are a bit of a mess with all the poa mixed in, but they're still miles ahead of most and from what I hear they're planning on redoing them soon to thwart any more poa.

Play here and you will see why its the gold standard. If only other courses and managment companies were half as good! I just wish I could play here weekly.

Gorgeous, world-class course, BUT...

…why no warning that the greens had just been punched?? No alert on Golf Now, no warning from the Golf Shop, the putting green was perfect; so it was VERY upsetting to pull up to the first green and find this unpleasant surprise. Not letting people know is just not acceptable; this all but ruins the game for golfers who care about their score. I understand it has to be done, but you simply have to let people know before they part with their hard-earned money to play in such conditions.

The course itself is Arizona golf at its best. Absolutely gorgeous.

Nice Place

My only complaint were the condition of the greens. Everything else was perfect but the greens had a lot of pitch marks and bad spots. They were punching them in a few days so that may have had something to do with it.

I've played this course twice and its been horrible pace with absolutely rude people playing and unhelpful staff to any problems. No matter how nice the course it's not worth the continued problems and far better courses surrounding.

Great Member Hosts and Fairways at Monument

Was paired with a married couple of 45 years Mark and Monica(?). They are Troon resident members. Their local knowledge was invaluable(maybe 8 strikes).

Weather was right around 80 with wind <10 MPH most of the day.

The only reason the overall rating was less than 5 stars was due to the Poa Annua on the greens. They did a good job of smoothing them out and they were rolling pretty well at about 8 on the stimp most likely.

My favor part of the course is the fairways. Best I've played anywhere. First cut of rough was more than fair. Balls were findable in the desert. Bunkers I visited were consistent.

The Monument course has many lovely vistas that I took a few moments to enjoy as the pace of play was brisk but never hurried a bit.

All in all great desert golf with tremendous member playing partners. Thanks for everything Mark and Monica from Minnesota. Go Vikings! Troon Monument, I'll be back. Can't wait to play Troon Pinnacl and compare notes.

Wet day at Pinnacle course

Riding was relative since we were restricted to cart path only. Long day. Only $155 each to "walk" to the course. Every hole has forced carries and would be very intimidating to even intermediate players. I would only recommend this course to my friends in single digit handicap range. A lady on a porch decided to inform us we were trespassing while looking for an errant ball. No signs and we were only 2 paces off cart path. Please. Pretty sure this was my one and only time here. There are just as good courses around the valley and you won't have to take out a second mortgage to play them. The course fairways and greens were very nice.

Golf at Troon North

This is a great course and always in excellent condition and care. The staff from the bag drop at the door to the cleaning of the clubs at the end of your round are great and friendly. They are there to help, show you directions and give you any assistance that you need, other than helping with a poor shot. Ha. The course has some challenges, with sand bunkers set at strategic locations as well as boulders everywhere to hit around or over. It was just the best golf to date.
