Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Palm Course - McCormick Ranch Photo submitted by tainge on 03/29/2013
Bad shape
Every sand trap was FULL of water. Some hole looked like a bomb went off on them. Should be worth 35.00 per round. So disappointing.
Over rated goat track
Came to AZ for a weekend of golf with some buddies. McCormick Ranch was one of the most expensive courses we played and by far the worst. This course could be $20 for 18 holes and a cart and still be $19 over priced.
Its not worthy the price
As expected many fairways have brown spot which is normal for this time of the year, but what was not expected was to have flooded sand traps, making them impossible to play. For the overall condition of the course prices are too high. There are courses right now that you can play for less money in much better conditions.
Great Day
1st time playing course and have had a great time. Played with a member and we had a good time. Lots of laughs and good golf. I would play here again. I played the Palm course with fast greens and tough hole placement made it tough. Next time out will play Pine. Thumbs-up
Mckormick Palms course
Staff was great. Very friendly and great service. Course was in good condition with the exception of the sand traps. Sand traps were very hard. The greens were also not in great shape. All in all I had a good time playing here and wood play again.
Skip it!
Several ruts and holes along the holes and muddy spots. Plus they have not cut the rough in ages and it is all weeds, dead spots, ruts, and high grasses. My ball was just off the fairway and it took 15 mins to locate between all the weeds and high grassy areas.....I have played this course around 30x and i was totally shocked as to how bad they let it go....No ball washers and a few water fountains on the course....ball washers were removed for Covid and never put back....I would skip this course until they invest in getting it back into the shape it was years ago,,,,,VERY disappointed......
Windy
Very windy day which made it hard but bet it is fun without. Good greens fairway. Bunkers not very sandy.
great potential but...
The worst sand traps I have ever played. Impossible to play a competitive round because sand traps by greens are like concrete. just horrible and there were also puddles of water in many of the traps. Avoid this course if you can.
Greens putted well but the course is in rough shape. Not a five star experience. Sorry
