The World of Troon
Short but Sweet
There’s nothing hotter in architecture than the well-crafted short course. Once derided as something less than “real” golf, these layouts — mostly of the par-3 variety but occasionally sprinkled with a par-4 or two — entice for many reasons: they’re family-friendly, less pricey, and quicker to play.
Preferred Winter Getaways

On the other hand, a winter getaway to someplace warm and toasty may be an even better idea. Here are several Troon destinations we just know you’ll adore this winter, or anytime for that matter.
AK-CHIN SHINES BRIGHT
With one flick of the switch a new chapter in the rich history of Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa, Ariz., began last April. Night golf arrived at #minDunes, with lights brightening an existing six-hole short course built on the driving range, enabling golfers of all ages and skill levels to enjoy playing shots after dusk, an especially worthy amenity during Arizona’s summer heat.
