When Tom Weiskopf first built the Pinnacle Course at the Troon North Golf Club, along with its sibling course The Monument, the 
whole Arizona golfing community was raving about it. It became the benchmark of desert courses with its spectacular views and challenging layout. When Tom Weiskopf redesigned the course, Pinnacle Course almost became synonymous to the best desert golf trips and memorable shots.
The picturesque golf vacation destination was made to capture the best views of the Sonoran Desert and the Pinnacle Peak, as well as the heart of every avid golfer that comes its way. True, the Pinnacle Course at the Troon North Golf Club is difficult, but the kind of difficult that makes one fall for it over and over – like a woman testing her persevering suitor to win her over. The now par-71 Pinnacle has wide fairways and several testy shots that follow the natural contours of the desert bed. Its signature hole is a bunker-guarded 16th hole that requires water play and is welcomed by a dogleg for the 17th.
The original Pinnacle Course at the Troon North Golf Club was already beautiful and one of the top caliber courses in Arizona. In its
newly renovated form, it’s just phenomenal. Whatever was running in Tom Weiskopf’s mind when he decided to redo the whole course in its prime doesn’t matter in comparison with the results of his renovation. The designer and the golf vacation haven both outdid themselves and ended up making each visiting golfer happy and beyond satisfied with the kind of play offered by the Pinnacle Course.

It was already beautiful and excellent when it first opened in 1990, and only the word “more” could be said of it after its major renovation in 2007. Its original creator, Tom Weiskopf, outdid himself in the renovation and one look at the

McDowell Mountains, surrounded by breathtaking vistas of desert valleys, mountain peaks, rolling hills, and the Scottsdale downtown area. Apart from its scenic quality, the course treats its visitors with a challenging layout. Miller has worked well on the dramatic elevation changes of the desert-mountain terrain to create a course of undulating greens and rolling fairways that could test the skill of golfers of every handicap. This stunning breed of beautiful views and fun challenge make this 18-hole, par-71 championship course ideal for 
standards and expectations set on it being a part of the top Arizona golfing facility and the reputation earned by its older counterpart in the golf club, the Cholla course. The 18-hole par-71

What could be any better than a Robert Trent Jones Sr-designed nine? The answer: A golf club that features three different sets of nines plus a short course from the same designer ALL IN ONE PLACE. This is what the 
different world unto itself. Each have qualities uniquely their own, it doesn’t at all feel like they’re in the same golf facility together. The Highlands course features several lakes coming into play, while the scenic Magnolia nine, that can be reached via a wooden bridge that goes through a golden marshland, is dotted with trees that could either be a blessing or a curse on that difficult shot. And the Marshland nine has two of the best, most challenging holes in the sixth, a par-5, and the ninth, a par-4. Both shots require excellent shot-making skills, tactics, and enough nerves to conquer such risky play. And the short course isn’t any easier either. The nine sets of par-3s require as much skills and tactics as the other three nines to get through with a neat scorecard. It isn’t surprising why golfers come back to this
