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.

True desert golf as it should be

Played Troon North Pinnacle with 3 friends while on a golf vacation and it was a truly excellent experience in all ways. Troon is a little bit more expensive than many of the courses in the area, but well worth it. Spectacular scenery and well designed holes were a big part of it, and the course was challenging but fair. The fairways were in great condition and could be found on all holes, but surrounded by a reasonable amount of rough - you had to hit a fairly bad shot to be out in the desert area. Greens were fast but ran true, and overall this was a great experience I would recommend to others.

Highly Recommended

Our round at Troon North was wonderful from start to finish...from the staff, to the course lay-out and condition and the views are indescribable. It is a phenomenal experience. Picture perfect weather and surrounding views were the icing on the cake. I'll remember this incredible round of golf for a long long time!

Another great experience

Beautiful surroundings, and always a treat to play both Troon courses. They were in typical great shape, and enjoyed the whole experience. The Dynamite Grill is a great place for breakfast, or after round hangout/dinner. I took 3 guys for their first time, and they were definitely wowed. Rattlers are active this time of year, one joined us on a tee box but was just passing through.

Albertan's first time playing in AZ

Beautiful course, gorgeous day. First round of the year for me. Great dessert views and very serene environment. Practice greens were very misleading as they were way faster than the course greens. Didn't shoot the best and felt I could've played much better, but an overall great experience for my first round even in AZ. AZ is full of great golfers and golf courses from what I've seen thus far.

Not up to par

Have played Troon several times and normally enjoy it. The Pinnacle course greens on this day were in extremely poor condition. Range access was limited. The overall value just not there.

Poor greens

Played the Pinnacle course, and joined a 3 some that played Monument earlier that day. The course is beautiful and fairways were very nice. The practice green was immaculate and fast. The course greens were a mine field of divots and much slower then the practice green. Our balls were bouncing to the hole it took me 9 holes to hit hard enough to get the ball to the hole. The others were OK on speed since they just played 18 but said Monument greens were in even worse shape. For the price paid its just not acceptable for the greens to be in this shape. If you are spending $250 in north Scottsdale there are many other better choices that still get heavy play but their greens were great. Eg Boulders, Grayhawk Wildfire which I played and enjoyed more. I played here a few years ago and the greens were as smooth as a pool table what changed?

Great Layout

Pinnacle Course was perfect, yardage book was a great help as was my rangefinder. Very challenging greens that putted very well. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Back 9 pace got real slow for some reason and we barely finished before dark.
Nearly a 5 hour round. Don't miss the happy hour food and beverages.

One of may favourites

Always enjoy playing Troon Monument when in Scottsdale. Course in great shape and pace of play is much improved, we were 4:05 starting at 11 am. Good layout with several tee boxes so you can make it as easy or difficult as you wish.

Calgary Golfer

Played Pinnacle from tips 7000 yds. $99 on Golfnow at 7.45am. Do not play in th emorning. Very cold!!! Windy!!

Service good. No GPS on carts. Unacceptable. Ball and Club washer on cart.

Tee boxes, fairways in great shape. Greens have too many unrepaired ballmarks, medium speed.

Average difficulty. Too many houses ln the course, and some are in play in getting hit.

Everyone told me this was a must play course from back home. So I had big expectations. But the course is average in design, and views. Especially when I have played Boulders, Camelback Ambiente, and Quintero.

It's an ok course. Would play it once, but there are better courses and I think this course is overrated. It may have been at one time the nicest in Phoenix, but there are so many nicer courses now. Not great value when there are equally priced courses which are better.

Rush, Rush, rush

My wife and I and another couple played this course for the first time. After six holes the ranger came up to us and told us that we were hole behind. First off there was nobody agead of us when we started. Secondly there was poorly marked t boxes while going to them you would have to backtrack because they mixed t boxes together (Black & gold)without leaving a sign. In the end we played the course in four hours and 15 minutes. For the money we paid I expected the course to be in much better shape. I would not recommend this course to friends of mine as I thought it was not a good value for the money.

Best Condition in Area

This was the overall best course that we played on our 5 day trip to Scottsdale (Boulders, Camelback, Vista, Quintero). The only other course that came close was Quintero, but the greens at Troon were better.

Very helpful, professional staff; great practice facility; great clubhouse.

The only knock I might have is that there were quite a few similar setup shot holes, i.e. carry distance and hole length similar. I had to leave the driver in the bag on more tee shots that I would have liked, but in saying that the course layout was still as good/varied as Quintero and better than any other course we played.

I probably wouldn't pay $350 to play any course, but at $99 on golfnow, it was the best value of any deal we saw.

Great experience!

The course was in absolutely immaculate shape. The greens were rolling great but were also soft enough for approaches. Much like every troon course it was managed fantastic from bag drop to the range even the free troon North bag tag. We played in about four hours on the monument 18 with a 1220 tee off. Our group played from the gold tees which was challenging but fair. Tons of breathtaking views you really have to take a second to appreciate. The 5 sets of tees make the course playable for everyone. I would love to go back and play again

Nice Course at the Reduced Rate

The practice areas and course were in excellent condition. The course itself was typical of the more modern desert courses in Phoenix area. There were no particularly unique holes except perhaps 16 and 17. The desert areas off the fairways have a lot of vegetation and therefore a lot of balls are lost. The value for money was good only because I got a very good rate on Golf Now. Legend Trail which is nearby offers a more interesting holes on a very similar layout at a much better rate
