Some Background

March 16, 1878, at the Portland Arms Hotel in Troon, on the rocky, windswept, and scrub strewn coastline of western Scotland, a group of determined golfers met to form what would become the Royal Troon Golf Club. Meanwhile, in the territory of Arizona in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, a stagecoach stop was serving equally determined travelers at Reata Pass. Why should such wildly different yet oddly similar places share the same name?

While the differences may be obvious, the cold Scottish coastline versus the Southwest desert, there are similarities as well. Certainly, their names Scottsdale and Scotland are obvious. And then there are their terrains. Both have ruggedly beautiful landscapes, strewn with granite boulders, both contain rolling vistas, although one has ocean views and the other is of soaring mountains. And last but not least, both contain internationally acclaimed golf courses.

Time has brought many changes though, as now just around the corner you find the acclaimed Four Seasons Hotel, luxury multi-million dollar mansions, more affordable homes, condos, and yes – golf.

So how did Troon North, Scottsdale get its name? Suffice it to say that Tom Weiskopf, the designer of the original Troon Scottsdale course, having won the 1976 British Open at the original Royal Troon Golf Club, incorporated many design similarities from the Scottish course.

Troon North is home to two of Arizona’s top-rated golf courses; Troon North Monument Course and Troon North Pinnacle Course. Both are rated in the top 100 courses in the world! They make Troon North a popular destination for visitors and a very desirable place to call home.
