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.

Not worth the money

The course needs significant work to make it worth the money they charge. Blown out irrigation systems leading to puddles and then completely worn patches of dirt. Too many bachelor parties hit this course hard. Surly cart attendants

I wish I’d invested our golf budget elsewhere.

Golf Now No Help

Decent course and mid range affordable. Tried to change tee time through GolfNow same day same course just earlier as a single. Would not allow without forfeiting original booking cost. Don’t allow their help desk people any discretion. I’ll probably just book direct with the course in future.
