Whose played Troon North Monument course?

you better hit is on the green stuff. if you spray, it is brutal. but overall a very fun time. Grayhawk is also great.

I'll be out there in a couple weeks as well. Can report back with conditions. We're doing 36 at troon and 18 at grayhawk

I'd heard that we-ko-pa Saguaro was burnt out? This still true?

ETA: we thought about Quintero, but just didn't feel like making the drive. It would've been about an hour from where we're staying

The Phoenician Golf Course is a fun and challenging course. Enjoyed my round. The TPC is a must right before the WM (played date before it closed)...the 16th was awesome with the stands.

Bring a “desert club”. I didn’t and knicked up my irons from the gravel in the sand.

I’ve played it once, I’ll give it a 7/10. It’s long but flat and you can tell it’s a Muni once you’re on the course. It’s fun but there are better options right now with these summer rates.

How does the ball fly compared to south la? I’ve heard it goes farther and straighter with the elevation and dry air. I think rain said everything stays on line with no humidity out there

Played both courses at Troon, We-ko-Pa Cholla course, and Grayhawk Talon course. All four tracks are excellent desert courses and in great shape. Troon had some issues with the greens being incredibly soft and pitted up with old ball mark scars, other than that it was great. Both Troon courses were the best scenic courses with a number of views throughout the 36, Monument probably had a few more views. Each course had at least 1 drivable par 4 which was neat. My only complaint on Talon would be that it seemed like every par 5 was your generic 3 shotter and didn't really present a risk/reward opportunity to go for it. You've really got to hit it straight out there as danger (desert) is everywhere just off the fairway. And it's not your open desert area like a bunker, you basically always end up near a cactus, boulder or some other obstruction. If you can play it out the desert, it's playing out of gravel, not sand

I would recommend all 4 tracks to anyone but if I was ranking on my enjoyment of them I'd go

1. We-ko-Pa - Cholla
2. Grayhawk - Talon
3. Troon North - Monument
4. Troon North - Pinnacle

No the only place we had burnt up fairways was troon north which seemed odd bc it also seemed the wettest.

I agree with the condition of greens being good outside of the ball marks and also agree on the par 3s
