McCormick Ranch Golf Club features two lush manicured year-round courses amid the lovely views of Scottsdale. Both the Palm and Pine golf courses' championship tees lay to over 7,000 yards, and there are also the options of men's, seniors' and ladies' tee sets to allow everyone a crack at the tests offered by these golf courses.

Golf Illustrated selected the ninth hole of the Palm Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club to be "One of the USA's Top 18 Water Holes." It's just one of 10 water holes on the golf course, which, as you might imagine, also features lots of big palms. In all, the golf course plays to over yards from the blue tees, including four par-5 holes that measure over 500 yards.

A round of golf on the Palm Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club kicks off on the par-4 first hole, which plays close to 400 yards from the blue tee and requires a drive right-center to ensure a short-iron second shot.

This place was AWFUL!! I won't be back!! EVER!!

I have finally had enough of bad conditions at this facility. The course was completely soaked. And Rain had nothing to do with it. There are much better conditions around the valley and much cheaper to boot.

Standing water all over the course. With a smell that's like a sewer. Soaking wet fairways. Standing water in almost every single bunker Greens were slow and wet. Tee boxes were not cut for days. I used an extra tall tee and still had issues trying to get it high enough off of the grass to hit it. This place isn't worth 15 bucks let alone 99.

McCormick

Overall good course. Some improvements would be welcome: water stations, more frequent beverage cart . It is hard to understand that this course is one of the few in Arizona that does not allow walking. This is very backwards.

Fast pace of play. The tee boxes and greens were okay for this hot time of year. The fairways were browned out. There should be more than 1water cooler on the back 9 of the Palm Course, or at least have better signage for water.

10/10 would play it again

Loved the course and everything it has to offer. Beautiful course with plenty of hazards and difficulty that makes it so much more fun to play. I played the palms course and will be going back to play the pines.

A downward spiral

I have lived in Phoenix 20 years and have played this course more than 25 times. The course conditions have simply eroded into that of 2 star munis. At the same price point there are much better selections.

Over paid for a 5 hr Rnd

The staff was friendly and the greens were in good shape. The course is in need of some updating. Must have had a bachelor party the day I played as the round took nearly 5 hrs to play.. over priced at $100

Not a hot deal

This was not a hot deal for $85. The season is over and see,Ed like everyone was tired including the course. No water in ball cleaning machines, melted water in coolers, fairways and tee boxes thin. Greens pretty good. Won’t play here again.
