Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

We played what’s considered to be twilight and pain half the price but the guys were working hard and keeping track so we got out in enough time to play . We actually teed off a little early and were able to get 16 of the 18 done. A lot of water on this course but a lot of room too. We had a wonderful time on our last day of vacation there.
We will surly play the Palm again. We are from out of state and left a blizzard to be there in the sun. A bit cooler this year but sunshine none the less. We are seasonal golfers at home.

Terrific course. Challenging but not unbearable.
Really really enjoyed playing the course

I played with a lady from my Minnesota club and we were paired with an older couple. They played good golf and we finished our round in 3 hours and 45 minutes. We all had a nice time.

Nothing special. If you are desperate to play Scottsdale in January it’ll do. Over priced, slow play (5 hours), fair course conditions, but you can get out.

Frost delay caused problems with delay of tee times

Truthfully, I hardly ever dislike a golf course. I know it takes an extreme amount of money, effort, and manpower. The day we played, the greens were unplayable. The architecture and hardness of the greens was the problem. More than half of them were tilted at such a severe angle, for one thing, but the surfaces were as hard as concrete. Throwing a pitching wedge 80 feet in the air, then having the ball bounce, with no divot, and roll off the back, or worse, roll to the back and circle around to roll off the front get old. One of our group is a solid 2 index, and shot an extremely frustrating 90! He was exasperated. Imagine how us 13-ers felt? It was also a bit boring, with not much elevation or variation.

Great course, greens are very undulating and break much more than the average valley course. Good fun!

Greens fast and in poor condition....my grandpa would have been very disappointed

Nice layout and good Mountain View’s. Mostly forgiving fairways but nasty green complexes. Super fast greens. Virtually no rough and tightly mowed. On one green where the hole was cut into a steep incline everyone in our group, which was mostly competent players, had their balls come to a stop on the green with chip shots only to begin rolling downhill off the green and through the non existent rough into the water. Maybe for an Open qualifier that’s ok…. Still, overall it’s worth checking out. Pace of play was excellent.

Arrived at the course 20 minutes before our tee time only to get “you know you are up on the palm right now” from the bag drop attendant. Then rushed to the first tee feeling rushed, then wait a minute or two for the gentleman we were paired with. Then after about 4 holes we started to catch people and then eventually end up on the 7th or 8th hole with 4 groups on a tee box of a par 3. The Marshall then finally showed up to tell us to with go to the Pine front nine or the palm front 9 which we just played. To be fair they did have a frost delay but the course did seem overbooked.

Greens & fairways were in great shape. Course design and hole layout were very challenging, with some really nice views. Some holes were lined with very nice houses.
Pin placement on many holes was unfair. You couldn't make a putt even if you hit it perfect as the hole was on a side-slope. It seemed like it was set-up for pros.
Staff was very friendly & helpful. Facilities are fantastic - restaurant, range, putting & chipping greens were all above par. I would definitely play here again!

It was a solid course to play but the conditions were so wet that it was hard to get a true gauge of how the course truly plays.
