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.

Wow!

First time playing Pinnacle and was not disappointed. For summer time, course was in great condition, with the fairways a bit soft (maybe its a Troon Golf maintenance concern) and the greens very receptive. Pay attention to the yardage guide and you'll score well.

Great experience

Last played Troon North about 10 yrs ago...still the same Troon quality. Everything was superb for mid June in AZ! Not a blade of grass out of place and staff was helpful as usual. Couldn't ask for more. I'll play it again before we leave the valley thanks to GolfNow!

The Best Course in the Phoenix Area

Folks this is the gem of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Staff is great, The fairways are better than your carpeting at home.
got a great deal through Golf Now. We played in 4 hours and there was only 1 hole that was "cart path only". Water every other hole and I just can't say enough about the Pinnacle course at Troon.

Greens were punched 3 weeks ago and rolled fairly fast but a tad bumpy. Still, this is a course you must play.

Awesome course, one of my all time favorites to play.

Played an afternoon round in June because it's a course I don't want to miss with in Phoenix. Fairways were immaculate. Green were a little off due to aerating a few weeks earlier, but we knew that going in. The only disappointment was the pace. The foursome in front of us ended up at least two holes behind the group in front of them and seemed to be wasting time at each hole on the back nine. We did not see a Marshall on the back. Other than that everything was good on this great course.

Challenging golf

Very challenging course, fairways were soft early due to sprinklers. Greens were fast enough. Not as fast as Quintero or whisper rock, but I'd say they were the next "gear" down. Certainly faster than 75% of what I've played out here. Service carts and club staff friendly. Pace was about 4 hours. The facility looks a little "tired" but I wasn't there for a wedding reception, so who cares!! Play it, you'll like it.

Stunning

On vacation from England and left this course till last having already played 6 other very good courses in the Phoenix area. I have to say this was the best course we played and is now in my all time top 5, and considering I've played many of the big courses in England, Scotland, Spain and Portugal this tells you just how good it was. The pace was a bit slow but they did have a corporate event on however the views on the course were so good we were in no rush to finish. Fabulous course in great condition and would recommend it to any golfer who appreciates great courses.

Fantastic course...but gruelingly slow

Played yesterday. THe course is magnificent - challenging enough, but very fair. Good for many different skill levels. Started around 3 pm and the website boasts 4.24 hour round so I was hopeful we would complete our round. Unfortunately, by dusk at 7:30 we still had 3 holes to play. Had we finished it would have been a 5+ hour round. I REALLY loved the course. Just wish play moved a bit quicker, especially if the greens fees are not adjusted for the inability to complete the round. Course marshalls should do a better job of keeping up the pace of play.

Amazing Course

The course was immaculate. You can't beat the landscape, the scenery and the location. Honestly the best, most picturesque course I have ever played.
The group ahead of us was pretty slow moving, which is why the pace rating is low, and we didn't stay for food or beverages, so I wasn't sure about that rating either. But this place deserves 5 stars, for sure. Gorgeous!

Keep it in the fairway

Troon North Pinnacle is a beautiful and very difficult course. Keep your driver in the bag for most holes and make sure you hit it in the fairway. Don't challenge the course or it will bite you more than the snakes. (we didn't see snakes but you get it). It's about the second shot. Being 100-150 out is ideal. Greens aren't too difficult if you keep it close. The sand was much nicer than other desert courses. I don't think I would pay 200 again but it was a good one and done experience.

Beautiful course.

The course was meticulously maintained in every aspect. The greens were a bit slower than I expected but overall it was a fantastic round. We were paired with a very slow golfer but still finished in four hours. The marshall griped at us multiple times and threatened to make us skip a hole. I understand this except for the fact that we left the group behind us by atleast two holes. The staff was excellent except for the grumpy marshall.

For $200 a round the Fairways and views were spectacular, however, the greens were not in great shape, a lot of divot holes and the ball bounced across the green when putting
