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.

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.

Average course

The golf attendant that sent us off the first tee made it sound like it was the best course in Arizona. We were really looking forward to golfing it. Obviously the guy has never golfed another golf course in the area. It was okay. Greens were slow. Fairways were maintained well, pro shop was nice with a good selection of merchandise and friendly staff. I will probably never golf it again. Definitely better courses in the area for the money.

Tale of Two 9s

Place was okay. Staff were all pleasant and informative. Played the Palm course and it’s still not quite there out of overseed, but they are charging like they are. Front 9 conditions were better, but the fairways were grown up to 1-2 inches and the greens were fairly slow. Made the turn and so did the conditions. Very rough on the back-9. It almost felt like we ventured off onto a completely different facility. Lots to be desired on the back. Overall, it’s a decent facility, but definitely overpriced for what they are currently offering. Has that “golf factory” feel to it which is unfortunate for the design and the scenery.

Average public course

The course was in okay shape after a hot summer. We played the first 6 holes at a good pace, but then waited on every hole after that. It wouldn’t take the staff much of an effort to figure out what group was holding up the course and ask them to skip a hole. That would keep the course moving for everyone else. When paying a $200 greens fee, I would expect some waters in the cart and a towel to clean clubs and golf ball (when preparing to putt). Little things, but that takes this course to the next level.

Great greens

The overall course is average. Barely any sand in the bunkers and the fairways are kind of beat up and burned out. Could just be the time of year. Looking forward to seeing it in another 1-2 months. The greens are the best part…firm but hold shots and not lighting fast but fast enough.
