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.

Less than perfect

We have played Troon North-Pinnacle several times and usually found it to be in pristine condition. This year we found the greens to be quite spotty and, unfortunately, the holes were frequently located at the worst part of the green.

As single digit handicappers paying a premium price we expected better. On the same trip we played Grayhawk-Raptor, WeKoPa-Saguaro, Golf Club of Scottsdale, and Boulders-South and we found all of them to be in superior condition to Troon North-Pinnacle.

We always make our trip to Scottsdale in late September and are familiar with the unpredictability of over-seeding, but this year the conditions, and course "set-up", at Troon North-Pinnacle were worse than usual.

On a positive note, the pace of play was excellent. We had a 7:30 am tee time and were off of the course a few minutes after 11am.

Excellent condition, but should be for the price.

Pinnacle Course. I did not play my best here. No starter on the first hole to help guide you through the round. Did not know the pin placement until we figured it out on our own. It was a 7:30 tee time and there was a tournament about to start. Maybe the attention of staff was there.

Tough course

If you're not on your A or B game it will be a tough slog. As with most Troon courses, the condition was excellent, the traps were perfect as were the greens. What you need is a layout by hole, as there are some desert transitions in the middle of fairways that are looking for golf balls.

Only affordable for most Arizona residents in the summer

Excellent layout and overall good condition, practice facilities and friendly staff, but greens not cut as tightly as expected for the quality of the course.

Great potential however on this day greens were punched

No one, not even Golf Now site advised greens were punched and it was cart path only too. Not fun when you have almost no chance to score. Like a driving range with no greens. Sorry.

This is the Az desert course by which all others are judged.

There is not enough room to say just how great this course is. Both courses are the hallmarks of the AZ desert golf experience. I could go on and on about everything from the layout, conditions, views...etc. This is an AZ MUST PLAY course...

Awesome experience!

Amazing from start to finish.  This place treats you like a pro from the time you walk in the door till you leave the property.  The back side on the monument course has some stellar view that pictures could never capture. It's worth every penny and highly recommend it be played over other desert courses.
