Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Ducks swimming in swampy sand traps. Washouts, burnouts, large pot holes on cart paths. Standing water on fairways, slippery mud at tee boxes…greens as hard as concrete. Horrible signage, needs updating, painted, make it clear, no signs telling you what hole or yardage, GPS did not work for majority of our round. Young male staff all seem to have arrogant entitled attitudes. Such sarcasm…nothing warm or welcoming. Must be demonstrated and accepted by leadership at this goat farm. Nothing to be proud of gents.

Such a waste of money. Not what I expected rolling into the heart of Scottsdale golf courses.

The staff was very nice but things got off to a bad start. I had called earlier & ask about storing my bags b/c I was heading to the airport right after my round. I was told there was a secure area for my bags, but when I arrived I was told that wasn't the case & I had to leave my bags outside behind the cart barn.

The course was very dried out and the greens were like rocks. They need to put some water on the course. Pace was over 4 hours and nobody out there to move along slow groups. Overall I was very disappointed with the course and for what they charge I would not go back or recommend this course.

This Goat Ranch nestled in Scottsdales Ranch district leaves much to be desired. Poor course conditions will make you immediately regret the $140 greens fees & $10 beers. The friendly staff and free range balls are the courses only saving grace. Course should cost $50 at most.

Also witnessed a local patron walk off with an elderly woman's driver from the range.

The course and scenery were great! Was told the greens are fast. Great, I like fast greens. But they’re fast because they are still new. Very thin grass. Felt more like pressed dirt in spots

We play frequently at McCormick Ranch and we are always tentative about playing there. After our round yesterday on the Palm Course I don't think we will be back...unless there are no other reasonable alternatives.

Pace was good, turf conditions were as expected for late spring overseed. Transitioning to summer turf with low temperatures is always challenging. Should be real good by late May. Staff is always professional and personable.

2 hours 45 minutes through front nine. So hot I quit after nine. Prices are crazy and play is slow across the valley. All out for as much money as they can get. Fortunately played with great guys.

Played here a lot in the past. It’s an OK layout. Expensive for the condition. We got to play the front nine on both the palm and the pine and the greens on the palm were incredibly hard and crazy fast. And the pine’s greens were much more receptive and softer.

Very dry. It may not be the fault of the course, but it needed a lot more water!
