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
Slope 147
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.

Horrible staff...

Course was okay...greens were terribly slow. At this price point I expect them to roll fast and true, and that was definitely not the case. The staff was horrendous...from the bar to the pro shop and all the way downstairs to the bag boys. A bunch of kids were running the place and when I asked for Corby(?) the GM, he was nowhere to be found. By then they already had my money and had locked up the pro shop. It was a bad way to end the day and left a very bad taste to say the least. Would not recommend this course.

Great Course and Staff

Took a guys weekend out to Scottsdale and played both of the Troon North courses. Had a terrific time. The staff at Troon really took care of us and got us complimentary hats and personalized bag tags. The course was in great shape and desert golf made for a challenging weekend. The replay rate made it very affordable and the weather was hot but surprisingly not as bad as the humid hot we get in Texas. I would definitely go back. The staff made the experience worth while!

Very nice course

Very warm however course was in good condition considering the heat. Pay attention to sheet given showing distance to dog leg. May not want to pull out your driver on every hole. Greens were a little bumpy. Found it odd that you can't stop in the clubhouse too cool off and maybe grab a hot dog or something after the first 9 holes. Course isn't designed that way. You have to play all 18 before you will come back towards the clubhouse. Also didn't like the way the only bathroom is on I believe it is the 14th hole. So much for drinking a lot of fluids to stay hydrated in the summer heat. Course has beautiful scenery and is very challenging you definitely want to bring your A game if you plan on golfing here.

Great course however...

Amazing course you can't go wrong with it but it played extremely wet! Every drive plugged and never roled! I was suprised when I walked up to my ball and saw where it landed and saw mud on it! Overall it's a great course just a little too wet!

Trogon North

Great course in great shape. Especially considering it was 114 degrees the two days we were there. Fun to play. Fairway were wide enough but if you missed you usually lost your ball. Rate was heavily discounted because of the weather. I would love to play it again depending on the price.

Arizona golf at it's finest!

First time playing this course and it was just amazing. Wasn't sure what kind of condition it would be in because of the hot summer. To my surprise it was in just perfect shape.

Best condition in Scottsdale.

I don't know how Troon keeps there course in such good shape, while all the other tracks around the valley are badly scared by the high temps.
It was a great round.
Go play Troon and see for yourself....

Great Course Even in Summer Heat

The day peaked at 107 the day played. Either it was cooler up there on the back 9 of Monument or the views were so stunning we didn't notice the heat.

Great deal during the summer...looking to go back and play pinnacle in the next couple of weeks.

Wonderful Course

I've wanted to play this course for some time as I've read so much about it. The course was empty as I started my round at 2:00 and was in the bar before 5:30. Recent rain (monsoon season) set the course up for good scoring opportunities. Fun course, go play it!

awesome views

Course was in great shape the greens were a little bumpy, was told only bent grass in the valley. They were bumpy because they had a little pona(not sure spelling) on them. Very slow 4 1\2 to 4 3/4 hours . 3 ladies playing in front of us would not let us play through, 3 groups backed up behind them marshal didn't say a word just offered us a cold towel.

Awesome!

You've got to play this course. It's in amazing shape, amazing views, and great staff. Bring a camera for each postcard shot. And do not go into the desert looking for your ball. High snake danger.

Nice shape for Phoenix in July

Course is in good shape for middle of July in Phoenix. Tee to Green was nice and not patchy. Greens were somewhat slow and bumpy compared to top tier courses in the valley but still soft and very receptive so don't let that sway your decision to play here. Staff were great. Played early afternoon and once I got through a foursome never saw another sole on the course!!

The benchmark for good golfers!!

The Pinnacle course is a great challenge to all golfers, but most specifically good golfers.
Since many courses are catered to the average player, we as better golfers get bored.
It is a challenge for long hitters, due to the desert design and narrowing fairways. Short hitters... Forgetaboutit! Tee it forward.
Enjoy it boys and girls!
