Looking for a country club to play while you are in Scottsdale? Tired of searching and asking for a member referral? Search no more. From the moment you drive up to the clubhouse to have your golf bag loaded on a cart, until you return to your car days later to make the trip back to Sky Harbor International Airport, Troon North and the adjoining Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale is the country club you have been searching for. Featuring two award-winning golf courses, Troon North is the facility other golf courses try to measure to in the Valley of the Sun.
Both courses are traditional desert layouts. Although Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designed both, each has its own separate, distinct personality. Each layout allows fair shot selections and challenging strategic planning for all skill levels of golfers by using five sets of tees and stretching the yardages from roughly 7,000 yards for championship golfers and 4,980 for women and children. Lush superbly kept bent grass greens and tightly mown hybrid Bermuda fairways are the normal playing conditions all year long.
Opened in 1990, The Monument Course presents challenges for the pros, as well as an enjoyable experience for the average golfer. Wide fairways wind through lush desert vegetation, natural washes, and towering saguaros. The desert frequently comes into play, yet the course will not remind you of a target course. In fifteen short years, The Monument has accumulated a vast array of awards and honors. One of only a hand full of courses in the United States, The Monument can boast rankings of top 25 by Golfweek, Golf Digest, and Golf Magazine.
Opened in 1996, The Pinnacle Course at Troon North quickly gained a reputation for excellence. Many consider it a much tougher test of golf than the older Monument Course. Built around dramatic granite boulders and striking elevation changes, The Pinnacle Course features a more traditional desert layout with tighter landing areas and spectacular carries over desert washes. Boulders and desert hills hide portions of some fairways, making approach shots more difficult. Huge greens surrounded by large bunkers and sloping terrain challenge golfers on every approach shot. Like its sister course, The Pinnacle Course is well honored, having received the distinction of being ranked as one of the top 50 courses by Golfweek, Golf Digest, and Golf Magazine.
When you complete your challenge on one of the courses, you can rest and relax inside your generously appointed guest room at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. Each of the 210 guest rooms and suites maximize the dramatic Scottsdale surroundings with private, generously sized balconies or patios. Inside your spacious abode, you will find the ultimate comforts that distinguish the Four Seasons Brand from all other resorts.
The service provided by the staff of both Troon North and The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale is second to none in the Scottsdale area. The well-trained staff is ready to meet you every need, no matter what the request. Without question, the theme of great service radiates from the award-winning spa at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. The 12,000-square-foot full-service spa features a complete range of skin and body treatments, scrubs, wraps, facials and massages, inspired by the spirit and ingredients of the desert.
A stay at The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale is not complete without indulging within the confines of Acacia, the award-winning main restaurant of the hotel. Stunning views of the high Sonoran desert, impeccable service, and distinctive cuisine combine to create an unforgettable dining experience. The contemporary steak house features the finest prime beef, fresh seafood, and seasonal specialties within an intimate Southwestern setting. Condé Nast Traveler magazine describes Acacia as “clearly on par with the best steak houses in the country.”
Make no mistake, Troon North and The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale is the best Scottsdale has to offer. Impeccable service, world-class golf and amenities, and the tranquil surroundings of Pinnacle Peak will endure your senses, ravish your emotions, and confirm your choice for the ultimate country club experience in the Arizona desert.
