The new Troon North Pinnacle was the first course that I played. As noted, this is the front 9 of the old Pinnacle course. The course opens with 4 par 4s- MacKenzie at 392y is a good opener as it's a fairly wide fairway and the approach is to an elevated green beyond a wash, Bobcat Hill is a 405y with a rolling bunkerless fairway and the approach to the green is over a waste area, Sunset Peak is a 468y from an elevated tee to another bunkerless fairway with the approach to a sloping green protected by 2 bunkers on right, Tomahawk is the next par4 at 416y from al elvated tee with the approach to the green protected by 2 bunkers on the left. Hole 5, Dos Caminos, is a 541y par5 dogleg left. Hole 6, Carefree, is a nice 206y par3 with a large deep bunker protecting the left side of the green.Hole 7, Deer Crossing, is a 456y par4 with another bunkerless fairway with the aproach to a diagonal green protected by a large bunker on the right. Hole 8, McDowell Vista, is a 190y par 3 from an elevated tee to the green protected by a long frontal bunker and a large cactus and 2 rear bunkers. Hole 9, Choparosa, is a 404y par 4 dogleg left with one large fairwat bunker on the left. Overall, a good start. As usual, the conditioning of the course was excellent.
I'll get to the back 9 later.
