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.

First and Last round at this golf course

If I had the back to the future delorean I would have booked another golf course as there were too many dirt spots in the fairways, lots of puddles showing an inefficient drainage system, and very questionable pin placements.

One of the best courses in Scottsdale area

Greens and fairways were in very good shape. We played Palm course which has some interesting water hazards. The practice facilities are really great, and the clubhouse is very nice. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. The only thing that I feel needs addressing are the sand traps. There is barely 1.2" of sand in any trap with hardpan below. Sand wedges just bonce off and blade the ball. If you land in the sand, either chip out or toss it out on the grass and chip from there.

Fun day but watch out for stray balls

The course offered a nice driving range, chipping area and putting green to warm up. Pace of play was average- they certainly had a full tee sheet and play moved efficiently but many for Waimea on the course. My biggest complaint was the layout which resulted in many players hitting shots into the wrong fairway. We were nearly hit by many random shots. Player beware. Overall, the course was in great shape,. I would play again.

The course could have been watered a little more in the rough. It was really dry.

Greens were very fast.

I could not buy a putt but thats not on the course... just today.
