Troon North Rates?

s2k_guy · August 26, 2013

I'm trying to find green fees for Troon North, but can't seem to find anything on their website. I can see their current rates by trying to book a tee time, but I'm trying to plan for a trip in late November, and I know that rates vary significantly by season in Arizona.

Does anyone know how much I should expect to pay during Thanksgiving week? Their current rates are around $50, but I've heard that at peak season it's $200+.

Played there last Nov. (last week of Nov) and payed about $190 if I can remember correctly.

Thanks! That is very helpful.

Here's a tidbit from a local. Troon North is way overrated and not worth close to two bills. Way better courses in the area for a good bit less. Look in some threads in this forum, a lot of great info on AZ courses.

- We-ko-pa
- Grayhawk
- Wildfire

just a start.

Troon North consistently has the HIGHEST RACK RATES of any daily fee course in town and they are quite proud of that.

Didn't get to play Saguaro, but it (Troon) was better than Cholla and way better than TPC Scotsdale (Tournament Course). Next time I will try both Grayhawk, Wildfire and Qunitero as they seem to get good reports.

Edit: clarity

Kierland had been edging them out during peak season by 20-30 bucks feel sorry for the suckers that paid north of 200 for that course

That's the plan. I'm gonna try to get in 4 rounds, and I think playing both courses at We-Ko-Pa and both courses at Grayhawk is what I'm going to end up doing.

Thanks for the help!

Troon is always "up there" price wise. As much as We-Ko-Pa and Greyhawk might come in slightly cheaper, we always look at the overseed schedule when choosing our tracks. We travel to Scottsdale in Mid-November so, we are there just after the re-openings of a lot of courses.

As much as I might agree that We-Ko-Pa has more bang for the buck than Troon North, Saguaro and Cholla re-open the 24th and 17th of October, respectively versus Oct. 3rd and 17th for Troon's Pinnacle and Monument courses. The longer the course has to grow in, the closer it will be to playing as it was designed to play. Also, for the first month +, the courses are "Cart Path Only".

When we play Greyhawk, they usually observe a 90 degrees cart rule as Raptor reopens September 30th.
