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.

Longest round

Just have to be fair.

If you are low handicap golfer- very slow and unforgiving pace of play will drive you crazy.

At one point on par 3. (#8) were 3groups plus 2 groups in proximity at #7.

Total disasters. We ‘ve seen marshal driving around but what can he do? Have to be on the top of it from the beginning.

We started on#1 7 min behind already.

They sent groups at 8 minutes interval. Good money maker but really bad for a game.

O, yes- we finished 18 holes in 5(!!) hours.

Terrible greens,

Literally hundreds of unrepaired ball marks covering the greens!! I would expect that condition playing a muni-course, not a course with Green fees in excess of $150!!!! I get it, it’s winter in Phoenix, but I don’t think it’s too much ask for. If I’m paying premium prices I expect a premium course.

Unexpected challenge

Was a single paired with a couple and another single. Practice area was fine, short game, driving range and pitting green. All in good condition. It wasn’t cheat to play early afternoon, but was reasonable. Had a fun round and enjoyed the course.

Nice course

Course is nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Like the small bucket of practice balls included. Pace was good until the last 5 or 6 holes, not sure what happened and didn't a marshal, but it close to end of day.

Good soaking

Played at 12.30 with nobody ahead so finished the round in 3 hours which was great. Fairways and greens in good condition albeit the greens were still a little slow after reseeding. Not impressed that the water sprinklers were turned on when we were on the third green and our cart and clubs were given a soaking.

Disappointed

Fairways in poor condition. Greens very slow, although will be good in 2-3 weeks once overseed has taken full effect.. course really appears to be showing it’s age.

Good but

Loads of unrepaired pitch marks on greens. Bunkers not raked. Obviously people playing don't care. Shame. Great layout. Play early as 1.30 onwards touch and go you will finish.
