Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

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.

Loved the course, it had beautiful challenging holes. Fairways were very well kept with a few exceptions. The only negative was the greens were pretty battered with divots. Not going to blame the maintenance as it seems players do not fix their ball marks for days. Would love to play again!

First time playing here - played the Palm Course. The front nine was amazing, very cool layout, tough greens, lots of water hazards and bunkers. The back nine was a little more straightforward, appeared older, not as difficult. The pace of play was fine and the staff was friendly. The back nine did have some spots under construction and/or marked due to recent rain. The course was overall in good shape, the front nine was really nice. The greens were smooth and rolled true, there was just a weird number of ball marks on the greens for it being such a nice course. Would definitely go back. Asked the cart guy on the way out and he said he prefers the Pine Course. He said ideally the Palm front and Pine back so I guess pick your poison.

I have played this course twice and both times the pace of play was brutal. As soon as we turn the corner to the back 9, play comes to a screeching halt. We saw a course marshal one time early in the round. It almost seemed that after 1 pm, the course workers left. No starter, no water and no marshal. Beverage carts did make the rounds several times throughout the course.

On the positive side, the course is in great shape and the clubhouse is well stocked. We appreciated the driving range and chipping/putting areas.

$90 a round for an early afternoon tee time- not sure I will be back anytime soon. 5 hours on the course seemed a little much.
