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!

Troon courses are always in good condition and good layouts and Pinnacle at Troon North was both. Desert play with some hidden features. Have to keep in play or your hanging with the snakes (didn't see any but prime housing for them). Played in afternoon but still played less than 4 hours.

GREAT VALUE IN SUMMER

I COME HERE EVERY SUMMER. WHILE OTHER COURSES LET THEIR COURSES GO IN THE SUMMER TROON KEEPS THEIR COURES AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL. THE STAFF TREATS YOU THE SAME IF YOU PAY 40 DOLLARS OR 200 IN THE WINTER. I THANKED THE GUYS FOR THIS AND THEY SAID IT IS THEIR GOAL TO TREAT EVERYBODY AS A MEMBER FOR THE DAY. THEY DO IT AND MUCH MORE.

Always a great venue

Weiskopf and moorish designed this to be user friendly for the average joe yet a challenge for the serious low handicap golfer. One of my favorites is all of the US

Course was in great shape.

The course was in very good condition but I found the staff to be less than friendly. The young man that took us to the first tee had little to say and the Marshall made a point of telling us to "pick up the pace" even though my group was less than 15 minutes behind. There was no one behind us and we were the first group off the tee on a day with light rain most of the day.

A gem in the desert

Troon offers one of the best courses in the Scottsdale area. Greens are receptive but quick, even for the summer in three digits temperature. Awesome views and facilities. Played Monument but I will definitely come back for Pinnacle.

Fantastic views and course.

Troon North is my favorite course in the Valley. Being elevated it's always cooler than Phoenix and always has a comfortable breeze. Course conditions are always pristine. It's desert golf so if you're have a bad day off the tee, bring a LOT of golf balls. But the combination of view, course, and weather can't be beat.

Most scenic desert course, every hole memorable.

From #1 to #18, beautiful looking desert course in excellent condition even tho greens were punched 3 wks earlier. Fairways in great shape, a really pretty golf course. Play it back and you'll have all the challenge you can take. Play it up and its most enjoyable even in the summer heat (109).

Beautiful course in great condition. People need to learn how to repair ball marks..

The course played very well. The greens were a bit beat up as there were a ton of ball marks. Would recommend this course!

Epic scenery on a beautiful golf course

Troon north golf club is the standard at which desert golf is graded. Everything about the place is perfect. Since it was in the later stages of the afternoon, the staff offered to let us play our choice of Monument or Pinnacle. So they basically gave us the option of either playing the #1 or #3 nicest course in Arizona. Either way we were in for a treat, but we chose Monument because we had never played it before.

The course itself was beautifully manicured, the fairways and the rough were filled with lush green grass. The bunkers were fair and had lots of sand in them. The greens were a little slow, but that only helped my game as they were very undulated and sometimes tricky to read. My only complaint would be that the greens were a little on the bumpy side, but that is to be expected this late in the year.

My girlfriend loved the wild life that lives on the course. there are lots of bunnies watching you tee off as they nibble on grass. We encountered a large gila monster perched on top of a rock, but he was way to quick and ran off before I was able to snap a picture of him.
