Views
Troon North delivers outstanding desert vistas: sweeping views of rugged rock formations, natural ravines, and the surrounding foothills. The courses weave through native desert terrain dotted with large boulders and saguaros, which along with the contrast of rocky outcrops and lush fairways make the scenery almost as much of the attraction as the golf itself.
Course Difficulty
From the Black tees on the Monument Course, Troon North is quite challenging. At ~7,039 yards, with a slope of 145 and rating ~72.9, it demands length, accuracy, and a strong short game. There are several long par-5s, uphill or carry shots, tight landing zones, and desert comes into play off the fairways. The layout rewards well-executed shots and punishes errant ones, especially when conditions are dry and wind picks up.
