About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Desert
Par 71
Length 7009 yards
Slope 144
Rating 72.8

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.

top of the line

Troon was awesome!

My first time here and i will be back. (in the summer of course)

hooked up a hot deal on golf now for $50 and set a tee time for 12:20.

The course was absolutely beautiful and greens were perfect.

on the first hole, my gps on the cart was not working, or not loaded up. My playing partner hit the help button on his cart and within 3 minutes on of the friendly staff members had a new cart to me and helped transfer all my stuff over.
(now that's what i call service!) i could easily get used to this!....lol

the pace of play was good, there was a Pepsi tour tourn. with a few groups in front of our twosome.

we caught up to them and went back and played 1 hole over. the rest of the round was decent speed and i was happy to relax and just enjoy the beauty.

the course seemed to be very playable and no real surprises or blind shots.

the greens rolled as good as any i have ever played.
the fairways were plush and just the right height for nice lies for the irons.

it was 105 degrees, but a small breeze every once in a while seemed to take some of the heat off.

i will be back for sure to try the other 18 holes.

thank you Troon!

Good but better for the money

Greens were the slowest I have played here and the driving range was closed despite the bag room giving us directions to the far end of the range

Troon North Pinnacle

Nice course with very heavy usage. All greens were heavily marked by previous ball damage and the tees were also pretty beat up. The layout is difficult, yet fun. The lady who operates the carts and the proshop guys were great.

If the House of Mouse built a golf course in Frontierland I’m pretty sure it would look just like the Pinnacle Course at Troon North.

Never fails to disappoint

While I get that many feel that TN has priced itself out of the market; this course (especially Pinnacle) remains the penultimate example of desert golf.

All good until….

Welcome, great; staff, great; lay out, great; driving range, mediocre due little turf where it is currently set up. Nonetheless always a good feel… right up until you get to the first green…. And then the 2nd, and then the 3rd… ball marks were shocking for a high end golf course and simply unacceptable at this price point. Allocate some staff to repair them. Shameful that golfers don’t fix them, but my guys we fix 4 -5 per hole, it’s just not enough. #2 looks like a somebody did a helicopter ball drop! Sorry, but I expected better at this price point. probably 8th time I’ve played this course and have never seen it like this.

Great golf course

We had a outstanding time at this location. This was one of the top 5 courses I have ever played. The views were amazing. The layout was fun and challenging. This staff was great

The only hicup was it was cart path only for some reason. The couple we were paired with had played there around 15 times and they said it was never like that in the past. I don't know if this was a special situation or a new policy but it did add some time to the round and a lot of extra steps.
Overall outstanding round.

Not worth it

5.5 hr round at Pinnacle. No starter. Course completely backed up, waiting before every shot. Ranger was a joke. Most holes you can’t hit driver, lots of forced carries. Greens and fairways were super nice. Views pretty good. Suggest you save your money and go play eagle mountain and dinosaur mountain for cost of one rd at Troon north.
