Troon North Golf Club - Pinnacle Course

A masterpiece of Sonoran Desert golf where granite boulders frame championship elevation changes under Pinnacle Peak's shadow.

About the Course

Step onto the Pinnacle Course at Troon North and you're walking through what many consider to be Scottsdale's crown jewel—a Tom Weiskopf masterpiece built in 1995 that sits in the high Sonoran Desert, stretched across natural ravines and foothills in the shadows of landmark Pinnacle Peak. From elevated tee boxes, you'll experience dramatic elevation changes, strategic water hazards, and undulating bentgrass greens that reveal every weakness in your short game. The 16th hole, known as "The Postcard," is a signature par-3 that plays downhill over water to a large receptive green—the kind of shot you'll replay in your mind for years. Giant granite boulders serve as both stunning visual anchors and cunning strategic obstacles; miss the fairway into the desert scrub, and you'll understand quickly why the desert demands respect. The immaculately groomed fairways, precise conditioning, and exceptional customer service deliver what's become known as the "Troon Golf Experience"—a standard that other courses measure themselves against.

Why It's Great for Groups
  • Two championship courses on property allow groups to play both the Pinnacle and Monument in one trip, with the flexibility to split foursomes across layouts for variety and friendly competition.
  • Signature 16th hole ("The Postcard") is a bucket-list par-3 that delivers the kind of memorable desert golf moment groups talk about at dinner that night.
  • Forecaddies available Thursday-Saturday mornings (included in green fee) provide invaluable insight into desert navigation and course strategy—a real advantage for group play.
  • World-class on-site amenities including a 37,000 sq ft clubhouse, Callaway Performance Center, pro shop ranked in top 100 operations, luxury locker rooms, and the Dynamite Grille for post-round celebrations.
  • Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North is literally steps away, offering groups the rare luxury of staying on-property with complimentary shuttles to both courses.

Best Time to Visit
October through April offers perfect desert weather, with peak season (January-February) delivering ideal playing conditions but higher rates and crowds. Avoid June-August when temperatures regularly exceed 110°F and courses may implement playing restrictions. March-April offers a sweet spot of great weather with slightly lower demand than peak winter.
