Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Disappointed. Overpriced. Poor condition, except for the greens which were smooth and fast. Tee boxes and a lot of the fairways were low cut weeds, not smooth grass. Bunkers were inconsistent, some with very little sand, some with a lot of rocks, one with putrid puddles. This was the Palm Course. Good friendly service by staff. Good practice area. A large (not jumbo) bucket cost $17. I've played courses in this condition that cost $25.

Enjoyed the course. They started us a few minutes early and we played the first 5 holes at a good pace and then had to wait on most holes. We were a foursome and Somme a few groups ahead of us had the course backed up. No effort to discover the backup and move players along. Course was in good shape and fun/fair to play.

Like this old park course - good views of mountains, but a little pricey. Maintenance needs to trim grass around the edges of the bunkers.

Starter was surley and really made me and my guest feel like he was doing me a favor by letting me and my guest on the course.. I had guest from Ohio here and will never play this course agsain because of the attiftude exhibited by the starter. He really was the worst from the beginning of the round and even when we left.he was so bad I refused to tip him whcjh i never have done at any course. We followed a team compettion from Suguaro H.S.. which was no problem at all but the guy that was the starter was just the most rude person I have ewver encountered on a golf course.

Made a 4 some tee time for 5:55 on a Sunday, myself and two buddies showed up but my 4th was sick and couldn’t make it. I told them in the pro shop when I checked in that my 4th was sick and not going to make it. Fast foward two weeks later I get a suprise charge of $139 for my 4th that was sick. I Called the pro shop and explained the situation to the pro shop “CASHIER” and he proceeds to laugh at me and stated they need 48hrs advance in order to cancel the tee time and he would not refund me. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he put Dan Jones on the phone. Dan explained to me that’s their policy 48hrs in advance in order to cancel a tee time and not be charged. I asked how is that possible if my friend just informed me the day of that he is sick??? Dan proceeded to just tell me that’s their policy and he cannot refund my $139. I asked to talk to his supervisor which he informed me is the owner Brian Kart. Brian was not available but Dan was going to talk to him and get back with me. Dan calls me back around noon just to inform me that Brian “the owner” is not going to refund my $139 and that he is Enforcing their policy.

Across the street is Silverado golf course I have played there numerous times, go there instead. Much nicer course and a much nicer, reasonable and friendly bunch of people working there.

We like McCormick Ranch Palm and it's a course we play every time we come to Scottsdale. The folks here are super friendly and helpful, and I like that the range balls and cart are included so it's all inclusive. They're always improving the course, too. Highly recommend.

The layout of these 2 courses is very good. No 2 holes feel the same. Only complaint is the greens are pretty slow and the green side sand traps are poorly maintained. Packed hard … the need to be sifted

It was a 110 degree plus day. No outside beverages allowed. We purchased beverages at 7:45 am on hole 2, and the beverage cart professional assured us we’d see her in a short while. After 3+ hours we had to leave… first time leaving a round, having lived in AZ for 20 years. Played here many times, and I am on a committee that has held a spring time charity tournament for more than a decade. My son said spending $250+ for a round of two for his birthday in August made me a chump.

It's summer so I get that but very little grass on greens and lots of bare spots everywhere. Grass growing in the bunkers. it felt very much like kind of a run down muni. I was surprised though for being in the heart of Scottsdale, I expected more for the higher than it should have been green fee for summer. If you're local I felt like I was playing Encanto and after playing wished I would have been there for half the price. Best part was the practice area. Nice people but to many better courses in PHX to return to this one.

The greens were in terrible conditions. For 100.00 I would expect better.

I haven't played McCormick Ranch in a couple years, so I was excited to take my Dad out for a Father's Day round. Price for 18 was ~$118, which is a little steep for summer in Arizona but not wildly unreasonable, especially for a good course.

This, however, was the furthest thing from a good course. It was a total dog track, in terrible condition. They should've charged $30, not $118, and I still probably wouldn't have played it. Greens were in horrible shape (muddy and no grass in large spots). Fairways were hit or miss. In some places they were great, and in others they were extremely muddy, had no grass, or had giant holes in them. I literally lost my ball on the left side of a fairway because it was in a giant puddle that was so deep I had to use my club to fish for it. In the fairway, mind you.

Do not play here. There are 200+ courses in Arizona, probably 190 of which are better than this dog track.
