Troon North Monument course review

Troon North Monument

Scottsdale, Arizona

One of the most highly rated golf facilities in Arizona, Troon North boasts two top class desert style golf courses. Pinnacle is a classic desert layout, while, Troon North Monument, featured in our review, is more of a mountain layout with dramatic elevation changes, especially on the back nine.

With immaculate course conditioning, top class facilities and five star service, Troon North sets the standard in the Scottsdale area, highlighted by prominent rankings such as…

Fort McDowell, Arizona

Set in the desert with spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains, Red Mountain, Four Peaks and the Superstitions you really do feel like you are in the middle of nowhere yet WeKoPa Golf Club is less than thirty minutes drive from Downtown Scottsdale.

WeKoPa in the Yavapai language means ‘Four Peaks’, named after the nearby snow covered peaks of the Matazal Mountains.

We-Ko-Pa Golf Club lies on Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation land that will never be commercially developed so you will find no houses on the courses, just two spectacular golf courses winding through the desert landscape with uninterrupted views of the distant mountain ranges.

Boulders South Course Review

Boulders Resort

Carefree, AZ

The Boulders South course is one of two 18 hole championship courses at the spectacular 5 star Boulders Resort & Spa so expect top class facilities and service on your arrival.

A feature of the South Course in particular is the backdrop of magnificent pre-historic boulder formations that give the resort it’s name.

The Boulders Club is a semi-private country club for members, resort guests, and daily fee players. Only one of the two 18 hole layouts is available for outside play on any given day so we cannot always guarantee which course you will play until you book.

The South course, featured in this review, is a 6,726 yard, par 71 layout. For the record, the North is 6,811 yards long, par 72. Both courses were designed by Jay Morrish.
