Name of Golf Course: Troon North GC - Pinnacle Course www.TroonNorthGolf.com

Course Location: Scottsdale, AZ 

Overview: Troon Golf is known for their pristine courses that are open for public play and The Pinnacle Course at Troon North GC may be the greatest of all. Pinnacle consistently ranks at the top of all the charts and I now can see why! The course is a challenge for all, has an awesome desert layout, was in excellent condition, provides spectacular views of the course from every tee and should be on everyone’s “Must Play” list. You won’t be disappointed and you will return! The Pinnacle course is a par 71 and from the tips it will play just over 7000 yards. These 7000 yards may be the most beautiful of any desert track you have ever played! Phenomenal!

Pros: The Pinnacle course is in exceptional condition from tee to green and the shear beauty of the course will hypnotize you as you play. If you want an extreme challenge move back to the tips or up a set for a bit more enjoyment based on your ability.

Cons: We played it on a very windy day and that added to the challenge of the need for pinpoint accuracy off the tee. After putting out on 18, I just didn’t want to leave!

Challenge: This course has it all – blind tee shots, various “natural” areas to carry, undulating fairways, multi-tiered greens rolling smooth and fast, rock formations in fairways, long par 3s, difficult bunkers, and individual challenges on every shot of every hole!

Condition: As with all Troon courses you get what you expect – a course that is manicured to the highest standards! You’ll rave about the condition of this track and only hope that all other tracks you play are as nice as this tee to green.

Favorite Hole: Choosing a “Favorite” is not fair on this track! So I’ll give you my favorite par 3, 4 and 5 or maybe just say all 18! My favorite par 3 was the 140-yard, 16th aka Post Card. My favorite par 4 was the 407-yard, 10th aka The Pinnacle and the 609-yard, par 5 14th aka Cross Country is a beast!

Amenities: Troon North GC has all the amenities of 5 star World Class resorts. Whether it’s group events, weddings, golf lessons, awesome practice facility, a fabulous pro shop, or lunch at the Dynamite Grille you can be sure that you’ll be 100% satisfied at this club.

Go Time Golf Factor: I had the pleasure of playing the Pinnacle course with David Bates of Discount Tee Times and Shane Bacon of Yahoo’s Devil Ball Golf so obviously the Go Time Factor was a 10!
Seriously, This is a must play track and we want to hear what you think after you experience Troon North GC!

Bottom Line/Summary: If you’re in the Scottsdale area and want a track that you’ll be raving about for some time…. It’s Go Time at Troon North GC Pinnacle Course. We GUARANTEE that you’ll be extremely happy with your experience! ENJOY! 

This course received the HIGHEST rating possible in all categories! Hands down one of the best tracks you will find!

Name of Golf Course: Troon North Golf Club Monument Course www.TroonNorthGolf.com

Course Location: Scottsdale, AZ

Overview: Troon North Golf Club offers two of the most scenic, challenging and meticulously manicured courses in the world. We had the pleasure of teeing it up at The Pinnacle Course a few weeks ago and were totally impressed with everything it had to offer. So, as we prepared for our round on the Monument Course our standards were already set rather high. Would the Monument Course be in great condition? Would it be as visually appealing as the Pinnacle Course? Could it be as challenging? We quickly discovered that the answers were all YES! The front nine was spectacular and as we moved into the back nine it was breath taking. The condition, views, challenge and pure quality of the golf course exceeded our expectations! The Monument course is a par 72 and from the tips it plays just under 7100 yards. This is a MUST PLAY Track as well. You won’t be disappointed and you will return!

Pros: As you would expect the Monument course was in stellar condition from the scenic tee boxes to the undulating well protected greens. The visual presentation from tee boxes, fairways and the greens would make the Top 10 on most golfers’ lists. This track is stunning and in my opinion one of the best facilities in Troon Golf’s stable of courses.

 Cons: It is very difficult to be critical about anything with the Monument course. The ideal scenario would be to play our favorite nine holes from the Pinnacle course and Monument course. More on that later.

Challenge: The Monument course provides a number of “risk/reward” holes in the 2 short par 4s (#6 & #15), Par 3s from 170 yards to over 220 yards and everything in between. You’ll face various doglegs, accurate lay-ups, forced carries, side hill lies, difficult bunkers, rock formations and much more. If you need more challenge than that – play it twice!

Condition: Troon Golf has done it again! As we made our way through the Monument course I was like a golf detective looking for something out of place – No Luck! The Staff at Troon North Golf Club is second to none and treat their courses as if you were at an exclusive private country club. I didn’t see one blade of grass out of place. Congratulations to the entire staff!

Favorite Hole: This is always a difficult choice and again I will side step choosing just one hole! I now have 36 favorites at Troon North Golf Club. Obviously, the par 5 - 3rd hole, the short par 4 - 15th and the views from the long par 3 - 16th would be on my list. Next holes 1,2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 18 are all up there too!

Amenities: At Troon North Golf Club you can enjoy a fabulous lunch at The Dynamite Grille, visit the Callaway Center, pick up some merchandise at their great Pro Shop, sharpen your game on their world-class practice facility, get some lessons, and more! Also, let Troon North Golf Club cater your meetings, golf outings, weddings and tournaments! Troon North Golf Club has it all.

Go Time Golf Factor: As you can tell I was extremely impressed with the Monument Course. Also, my company for the day (Ricky Potts, Corby Foster and Chris Tivey) made playing Troon even more fun! Yes, you guessed it… The Monument Course at Troon North Golf Club gets a big GO TIME! Now, we want to hear your comments after you’ve played either one of the great tracks at Troon North Golf Club!

Bottom Line/Summary: OK, we know you can’t play your favorite 9 holes from The Monument and Pinnacle Course, so go play one in the morning, enjoy a great lunch, and play the other in the afternoon! Experience some of the best golf that Scottsdale has to offer #PlayTroon
