If a golfer searches the Internet for places to play in Scottsdale, Arizona, the two award-winning courses at Troon North are always mentioned. I played the higher ranked Monument Course, and I remember one thing above all: the hundreds of houses that stretch to the left and right of the fairways. The design of this desert playground was the first ever by the late Tom Weiskopf, and don't get me wrong, it is very good. But it is also very expensive, and somehow I expected more. My mistake.
