Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

A unique layout, plenty of water, but also very scoreable. Greens rolled great. Really enjoyed 9th hole island fairway. Played in the morning, 3 hours 25 minutes for 18.

Beautiful course, well maintained and excellent staff! They made accommodations to arrange a last minute add to our tee group so that we were able to include someone else in our group. The club rentals were fantastic. We will definitely play this course again while in town. Great value - great course!

The golfing at the Palms was a great time. All staff were 5 star, beverage cart was well stocked ! Starter on the Palms 👍. Beautiful fairways, the rough is coming around, greens were in really good shape. It’s a course that is pretty forward. The pace of play was awesome we played later in the afternoon and never waited on a tee box . Good practice facility.

I was just not that impressed for what you pay to play there

Very enjoyable round, it's always one of my favorite rounds when I'm in the area.

I am a very good putter and I love fast greens. They have made these greens unfair for the average player.. The contour and speed of the greens. When you are above the hole is simply too much. Not fun

The course condition was average. The pin positions were borderline unfair. Staff could do better. Starters are best part of staff.

Let’s start with $161 all-in per person. Played 7:47 as a twosome. Outside staff was very friendly. Pace was really good we followed a threesome. Conditions started very good and deteriorated as the round progressed. The greenside bunkers had decent sand for an AZ course. The greens were mostly smooth (except where the jerks didn’t repair) and very fast. Probably 6 or 7 of the green complexes are of goofy-golf variety where the slope was just ridiculous - no way to get/keep the ball close. Any ball on left side of the #8 green goes into the water. As the round progresses there was a lot of pot holes, standing water and bare spots in the fairway and around the collar (#11). Overall I think there are better options for like price.

Where do I begin? Sand traps full of water, fairways with potholes, mud holes, standing water pretty much everywhere, not to mention the smell from the stagnant water in all of the holes was disgusting. Goose crap throughout, and bald spots on fairways and greens as well. Way overpriced. Not a $210 golf course. I wouldn’t even pay $50 for this pasture. Obviously no money is put back into the course so if I were the superintendent I would be extremely embarrassed. Anyone considering to play this course, save your money, you would be better off playing elsewhere. Never be back EVER, even if it’s free!

The course layout is nice, and overall, in decent condition, but…. several of the green complexes are outrageously designed, which soured my impression of the course. 3 or 4 greens on the front 9 have slopes exceeding 5 degrees for a large portion of the green and it makes them unplayable and silly. Uphill putts literally rolling backwards after a lag putt shouldn’t happen. Having extreme slope is fine if only on a ridge on the putting surface, but the entire green? No thanks. Perhaps it’s due to erosion, or perhaps it was defined this way and made sense when stimp meters were <7 in the 1960’s but not when they are running 9+. In any case, the greens should be redone.

This is set up for volume of players. You have to wait to use the practice tees. No water for towels. The beverage cart was out of beer TWICE. The golf attendants (except the starter) were transactional. Good/fair layout and course was in good shape. Greens were exceptionally fast. Three pin locations could not hold a golf ball. Overall seems like the management is inexperienced.

They are overpriced! The greens are so fast you could not putt them. If you’re going to have roller coaster greens and the pins cut on the down slopes you can’t make them super fast! One or the other, reminded me of a miniature golf course. The grounds crew might think that funny but as an average golfer it’s no fun! The overall condition is mediocre, the place could be really great if they would put some of the money back into the property . It’s very tired! It really could be a premier property if the owners cared enough to take care of it.
