McCormick Ranch Golf Club features two lush manicured year-round courses amid the lovely views of Scottsdale. Both the Palm and Pine golf courses' championship tees lay to over 7,000 yards, and there are also the options of men's, seniors' and ladies' tee sets to allow everyone a crack at the tests offered by these golf courses.

Golf Illustrated selected the ninth hole of the Palm Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club to be "One of the USA's Top 18 Water Holes." It's just one of 10 water holes on the golf course, which, as you might imagine, also features lots of big palms. In all, the golf course plays to over yards from the blue tees, including four par-5 holes that measure over 500 yards.

A round of golf on the Palm Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club kicks off on the par-4 first hole, which plays close to 400 yards from the blue tee and requires a drive right-center to ensure a short-iron second shot.

Okay, but great

Wide open course. Not desert course at all. Crazy greens where ball would roll off the green and in to water, no reason for them to be so punitive. Also. We waited on every hole after number four

. Close to a5 hours round..An extra 30 bucks, gets you a much better round of golf elsewhere in scottsdale area

McCormick Palm

So we teed off the first 2 holes we were moving then grid lock. We started at 12pn and finished at 5:40pm. We could not believe this. I recommend that if you are going to play their Don't play on the weekend do it during the week.

We waited 6 min on every hole. My 4 some will never play their on the weekend ever again. It was a waisted Saturday and $178 Dollars.

Great job to the crew

Had an overall great time. Started on the palm course, but were slowed down by the std group of “we can hit it a mile, but just never anywhere near the fairway” guys. 2 1/2 hrs for 9. At the turn the starter came up and asked if we wanted to switch to the pine course. He is our hero! Finished 9 on pine in less than 1 1/2 hrs, and caught a fabulous sunset.

Greens were fast. Fairways in great shape.
