Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

The new greens were understandably firm and fast, but I was surprised by how poor the rest of the course has become. Fairways were beat up and probably deserved “ground under repair” flags throughout. Puddles of water in bunkers and other areas in the late afternoon don’t make sense to me given the lack of rain water. The course is a patchwork of sand, mud, hard pan, etc. on greens and fairways. This course used to be a joy to play and had decent eye appeal, but it’s now a bad muni-looking course. Despite the relative lower rate compared to other “championship” courses, I won’t be coming back unless changes are made. Regarding beverage service, all the “cart girls” were unfriendly and staring at their phones. In the first “drive by” instance, the cart girl drove right by us and didn’t even acknowledge us…I swear they are trying to make as little money as possible! If you enjoy great conditions, friendly people, and an acceptable pace of play - all of which you should expect this time of year in Scottsdale - play elsewhere.

Course conditions were a bit rough tea boxes would beat up and fairies lotta dead spots

way too expensive and the conditions go the fairways was marginal at best.

Golf in the Phoenix-area is way over-priced.

It looked like they spray painted the fairways. Greens were very dry and there was almost no fringe. Had to play all bump and runs because every time I tried to use my sand wedge from inside 40 yards, the club bounced and skulked the ball.

Been playing the ranch for many many years, conditions today: negligible amount of grass on fairways and in "rough" areas, greens were good, lots of goose droppings :-).

In my opinion this track is not worth $183 tax in on any day of the week in any season.

The main reason I have consistently played here was that it provided the best "value" in the neighbourhood.. For a few dollars more I'll hopefully chose clubs that are in better condition.

A little pricey, but a nice well kept course. Group of drinking young men who thought they were better than they were held things up until the ranger finally got them moving.

I was very disappointed because I’d heard great things about the golf course. The front nine was decent, a bit rough around the edges but playing surfaces, tees, fairways and greens were fine. Nice arrangement of holes. The back nine was awful, terribly maintained and unplayable in many locations. Too much water in some spots, none in others, ragged fairways and no regard to proper bunker structure and maintenance. Just terrible from # 10 thru # 18. Even at the comparatively lower price to other facilities, I will not go back and would not recommend it to anyone else.

Lots of it on the front, and believe me i found most of it, ugh!. Played the palm course, greens were good, course was in good shape. Will go back, and will bear down on the front, either that or bring a ball retriever.....
