Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Pin placements on every hole and overall greens playability were impossible. Every pin was on a slope. Overall condition of course was very average at best.

Pace of play was slow and I blame that solely on the grounds keeper. The greens were rolling at around a 10 1/2-11 which is fast. They cut the fringe and collars real low. When we arrive at the par 3 7th hole might be the 8th, there were 3 groups waiting to hit. We waited 20 minutes before we hit. The pin was placed on a slope and the shot required all carry over water. From the white tees 150 yard shot to the pin. Any ball on the green that was putted all either rolled off the green in to the water or were stopped by one of the members in the group. One of the members in our group hit their tee shot to 10 feet left of the pin. He then hit his putt very lightly barely missing the cup and was heading in to the lake but someone stopped it or it to would have gone in the lake. The speed of the greens,undulations of the greens and cutting down of the fringe and collars around the greens caused for really slow play.

Palm course was in good shape but because of the rain storm the night before we had to deal with a lot of incidental water on the course, which may have contributed to slow play.

Staff were excellent, very friendly & helpful.

We played Palm course and liked it very much, our foursome had at least 5 shots on the green that ended up in the water. Greens too fast? Too much slope? First time at course?

We will play this course again. Conditions were a bit tough due to wind, but it's a fairly forgiving course. The greens were very fast. You want to be below the hole, never putting downhill or the ball will roll off the green. The upside is that they putt very true.Great clubhouse, great staff, nice driving range and a very fun day.

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.
