Troon North is one of only eight five-star rated golf facilities in North America. Memberships are available only to property owners within the Troon North residential community. The 37,000 square foot clubhouse, designed by local architect Vern Swaback, is a magnificent example of his ability to carefully craft the perfect blend of natural desert beauty and sensitive planning. The Clubhouse opened in 1994 and offers world-class dining, an award-winning pro shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and enough banquet space to accommodate parties of 200.
The Troon North community is adjacent to a 185 acre mountain preserve that surrounds the famous Valley of the Sun landmark, Pinnacle Peak. Here, multi-use trails on boulder-strewn ridges high above the desert floor meander through ancient saguaros, and ironwood and mesquite trees. To the north is a 16,000 acre state preserve for biking, hiking and other outdoor recreational uses, taking advantage of the higher elevations that bring cooler summer temperatures and cleaner air. In addition, the 4 acre Troon North Community Park offers tennis, basketball courts, barbeques, turfed play area and picnic ramadas.

Featured Holes
Monument Course- Par-5, 564 yard 3rd hole. This hole is appropriately named “The Monument” due to the large boulder outcropping in the middle of the fairway. A golfer who is a gambler can cut the corner with a long accurate drive, leaving an iron to the green. However, anything but a straight drive or one with a slight draw will probably result in a lost ball or an unplayable lie.
Pinnacle Course- Par-4, 407 yard 18th hole. This particular hole is called “The Pinnacle” because, from the tee, famed Pinnacle Peak is directly behind the green and provides the spectacular backdrop. Although reachable with a fairway wood and a short iron, an accurate tee shot is critical to successfully negotiating this beautiful hole. The liberal use of fairway bunkers requires accuracy because the longer the drive, the more likely one is going to be encountering trouble.
