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
Type Semi-Private
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.

Great Course!...but very pricey

Loved this track. Very nice with great views. That back nine on the Monument was fantastic!

My only negative would be the cost is pretty high so when I come across a promotion to play again, I can't wait to go back!

Great views on the Pinacle course.

I think for the price, 179.. and it will get to be more, as time goes on., there are alot better courses around for a cheaper price. Troon North is a course for sightseers. I was a bit disappointed in the over condition of the course, thought it would be more pristine than it was. When a person pays that kind of money, i think the course should be immaculate;;; not so here. I think everyone should play it once, and see what they think. I wont go back for that price. Too many other courses in the valley that are stars above Troon North.

Great test of golf, very difficult greens

The greens were pretty much impossible to read, it is amazing that the putts always break and are downhill towards Phoenix, no matter what it looks like when you read them. Local knowledge in that respect goes a long way. Aside from the frustration in not being able to sink any putts outside 5 feet the course is really the real deal. There are challenges everywhere, many of the tee shots are visually confusing but there is good information provided on the course map. Also, there is essentially no rough, its just fairways then desert, but the fairways are not overly narrow. I would definitely play this course again next time I am in the Scottsdale area and hope to have my revenge on the putting surface.

Top quality golf facility

Troon courses are some of the best in AZ. If you can afford the extra cost over other courses, you must play this course.

Still A Great Day of Golf

We really enjoyed the course. The views and scenery were spectacular. Our only complaint was there were too many distractions with grounds crews out mowing and completing maintenance on what seemed to be quite a few holes. The service in the Grille after our round was very slow, but we overheard them say they were short a staff member that afternoon.

A disappointment

I had always looked forward to playing Troon for a few years now and got an excellent price from Golfnow. I'm glad I didn't pay more and it is certainly not worth the premium prices usually charged, I played the Monument course. The front nine was pretty generic as far as courses go in addition to being closely surrounded by generic condos. I'll have to say the back nine was stunning though and what I expected the entire course to be like. One of the greens on the back nine was bumpy like cottage cheese. I'm glad I finally played the course but would not go back unless I found another terrric deal on GN.com. Pace of play was fine although we never did see a marshall.

Great Track

This is a delightful course with fabulous views and is surrounded by beautiful properties.

The day we played the staff indicated that they were busy and wanted to keep play moving. While we were not burning up the course, the ranger somewhat bruskly told us we were up to 5 minutes behind. There were no groups behind or ahead of us that were impacted byour pace - it was a little off-putting. Once we picked up the time a few holes later, he became friendly and took our photo... Restaurant staff were terrific.

Overall, one of the favourite courses we played in AZ

Had a blast, this is one of the nicest courses I've ever played and wouldn't have played without such a great price from golf now.

Troon North was probably the most beautiful course I've played in the last 10 yrs. The course condition was spectacular and each hole unique. Awesome

If you ever get the opportunity to play Troon North, don't pass it up! Incredible course with indescribable natural beauty.
