Troon North Golf Club Layout

The Monument Course at Troon North is designed to emulate the British Open, encouraging players to use low, rolling shots on firm greens and boulder-framed fairways. The course is about 7,028 yards long with a par of 72. It has wide fairways that fit in with the desert terrain. This includes elevation changes, strategic bunkers, and stunning rock formations.

The Pinnacle Course is also a par-72 and slightly longer at 7,044 yards. It has severe elevation shifts, deeper arroyos, and fairways that vanish behind boulders, making some shots more difficult. Both courses are challenging and will test your skills, but they also reward smart play.

Troon North Golf Club Challenges

Golfers at Troon North face many challenges that test every part of their game. The desert environment brings natural hazards such as ravines, foothills, and indigenous flora. You need to hit the ball accurately to stay out of trouble.

Elevation variations add complexity, influencing club selection and shot trajectory. Bunkers and sloping greens make approach shots and putting harder. The Monument Course is a little easier and forgives mistakes, while the Pinnacle Course is tougher and looks more dramatic.

Both courses create an engaging experience for players of all skill levels, with many tee options to make the game fair for everyone.

Signature Holes

Additionally, the 14th hole on Pinnacle is called the “Post Card.” This par-3 features a pretty shot over water to a large green, showcasing the beauty of desert golf.
