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.

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.

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.

Great $50 course unfortabkey it was $140

Embarrassing. The course was in poor conditions. The bunkers were essentially unplayable standing water, mud and grass/weeds growing into them. They are closing the course Monday for over seeding but never mentioned this when booking. Pretty embarrassing they charged $140. Never again
