Troon North Golf Club

Troon North Golf Club

Troon North Golf Club certainly gets our vote here, with 36 Holes of golf on-site in the Pinnacle and Monument golf courses. The resort is set into the Sonoran Desert and winds its way through natural ravines under the shadows of Pinnacle Peak. Giant granite boulders litter this rugged and yet beautiful landscape along with the thousands of varying types of Cacti. 

Of the two golf courses on-site the better of the two is generally undisputed with the Pinnacle course coming out on top. Both courses have immaculately groomed fairways with bentgrass greens, Tom Weiskopf as the original designer has recently made some recent renovations improving upon and creating two fantastic and challenging two great layouts. Troon North has consistently been revered as the crown jewel in Scottsdale golf and is highly rated, across the Southwest and the USA.

The Troon North Monument course takes its inspiration from the large boulder of a monument located in the middle of the 3rd fairway. With a boom, Troon North burst on the scene as it made its way into America’s Top 100 public courses and attracted guests from around the world. The Monument course is a target-style course that demands accuracy, like many Arizona courses, unless you’d like to give your cleats a pounding in the desert. An organic wash runs through the property in addition to the man-made hazards and provides additional excitement and challenge.

Troon North’s Pinnacle course has soared to new heights. The course is heavily surrounded by large natural desert vegetation and cacti, while massive boulders are all littered around. The Pinnacle course does not feature a driveable par four that Weiskopf has become renowned for in his designs since the re-routing. Luckily, however, it wound up with the best total set of holes for the Pinnacle course and is now considered by many published articles to be the best public course in Arizona.
