Grayhawk vs. Troon North
Family-friendly resort feel vs. target-style golf purity — two of the most-searched comparisons in north Scottsdale.
Side-by-side
Pick Grayhawk if you want walkable amenities, A+ schools, and semi-private public-access golf. Pick Troon North if you want quieter, more architecturally bold desert lots backing up to McDowell preserve.
Two championship courses in the heart of North Scottsdale
Grayhawk is one of Scottsdale’s most coveted master-planned golf communities, anchored by the Talon and Raptor championship courses. Tree-lined streets, walkable village centers, and resort-style amenities define daily life here.
Desert-mountain golf with two of America’s top-100 public courses
Troon North is the original desert-mountain golf destination in North Scottsdale. The Monument and Pinnacle courses—both consistently ranked among America’s top-100 public courses—weave through granite boulders, ancient saguaros, and dramatic elevation changes.
