Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Played the Palm course. The course was beautiful well maintained and the round included range balls. My major complaint was the pin placement and some of the greens. Some pins were in spots that would not allow a ball to come to rest, if you hit a shot below the hole it was slanted such that if your putt did not go in, it would roll back down the slope and even off the green. And this was on at least 3 holes. To keep play moving we adopted a 3 putt rule. But it did not feel fair. (My 2 cents) But the overall course was really pretty.

Love this course. Great layout. The greens are very fast!

The course layout was fun and very challenging. But the fairways were painted green which was super weird and extremely disappointing. Fairways, rough and greens all bone dry. A few good fluffy sand bunkers, but many were that packed down concrete feel. Just too many other options in the area for me to play this course again anytime soon

Number 8 on the palms was unfair as the ball on the green could roll into the water. Also number 11, seems like a challenge when you birdie or eagle putt rolled into water hazard.

Decent course, many nicer in Pheonix/Scottsdale area. Pleasant staff. As with most in the area, a bit overpriced.

Overall a great course to play. Course conditions were very good but it was very busy. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition but challenging slopes on the greens. Pin positions made a couple of the greens unreasonably tough. For the price the experience would have been better with staff changes and an unruly group of drunken golfers that spoiled the back 9 for us. Not the courses fault for the latter of course. For the price I expect better.

The course was well maintained and well run. The staff was friendly. Free balls for the practice range before you play.

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.

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.
