Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Frost delay caused problems with delay of tee times

Nothing special. If you are desperate to play Scottsdale in January it’ll do. Over priced, slow play (5 hours), fair course conditions, but you can get out.

Great course, greens are very undulating and break much more than the average valley course. Good fun!

Greens fast and in poor condition....my grandpa would have been very disappointed

Nice layout and good Mountain View’s. Mostly forgiving fairways but nasty green complexes. Super fast greens. Virtually no rough and tightly mowed. On one green where the hole was cut into a steep incline everyone in our group, which was mostly competent players, had their balls come to a stop on the green with chip shots only to begin rolling downhill off the green and through the non existent rough into the water. Maybe for an Open qualifier that’s ok…. Still, overall it’s worth checking out. Pace of play was excellent.

Greens & fairways were in great shape. Course design and hole layout were very challenging, with some really nice views. Some holes were lined with very nice houses.

Pin placement on many holes was unfair. You couldn't make a putt even if you hit it perfect as the hole was on a side-slope. It seemed like it was set-up for pros.

Staff was very friendly & helpful. Facilities are fantastic - restaurant, range, putting & chipping greens were all above par. I would definitely play here again!

Arrived at the course 20 minutes before our tee time only to get “you know you are up on the palm right now” from the bag drop attendant. Then rushed to the first tee feeling rushed, then wait a minute or two for the gentleman we were paired with. Then after about 4 holes we started to catch people and then eventually end up on the 7th or 8th hole with 4 groups on a tee box of a par 3. The Marshall then finally showed up to tell us to with go to the Pine front nine or the palm front 9 which we just played. To be fair they did have a frost delay but the course did seem overbooked.

It was a solid course to play but the conditions were so wet that it was hard to get a true gauge of how the course truly plays.

The staff was not very accommodating and close to being rude. It started to rain hard after four holes and we requested rain checks. The guys in the pro shop said that the course does not give rain checks and we were out $160. This is totally not fair and not common from my 50+ years of golf. We decided to keep playing. Course was in average shape for this time of the year.

Course is in good shape despite recent rains. Greens are diabolically fast.
