Scottsdale, Arizona
Troon North Golf Club is a public course that plays like a private one in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is best played winter into spring.
Tee times are open to the public, though the good ones go fast. Green fees run $250–$395 (winter). The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.
Troon North is public desert golf at its best, without the private-club gatekeeping some of Scottsdale's other big names come with. No. 87 on our list, and a strong option for a corporate trip that wants a serious test without a member sponsor.
Winter into spring is peak season. Lodging sits nearby, and we handle the booking given how in-demand tee times get.
