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
Nice course, but...
way too expensive and the conditions go the fairways was marginal at best.
Golf in the Phoenix-area is way over-priced.
Bad condition
It looked like they spray painted the fairways. Greens were very dry and there was almost no fringe. Had to play all bump and runs because every time I tried to use my sand wedge from inside 40 yards, the club bounced and skulked the ball.
Over priced-not worth it
Been playing the ranch for many many years, conditions today: negligible amount of grass on fairways and in "rough" areas, greens were good, lots of goose droppings :-).
In my opinion this track is not worth $183 tax in on any day of the week in any season.
The main reason I have consistently played here was that it provided the best "value" in the neighbourhood.. For a few dollars more I'll hopefully chose clubs that are in better condition.
Nice course
A little pricey, but a nice well kept course. Group of drinking young men who thought they were better than they were held things up until the ranger finally got them moving.
Over Rated Underwhelming
I was very disappointed because I’d heard great things about the golf course. The front nine was decent, a bit rough around the edges but playing surfaces, tees, fairways and greens were fine. Nice arrangement of holes. The back nine was awful, terribly maintained and unplayable in many locations. Too much water in some spots, none in others, ragged fairways and no regard to proper bunker structure and maintenance. Just terrible from # 10 thru # 18. Even at the comparatively lower price to other facilities, I will not go back and would not recommend it to anyone else.
water
Lots of it on the front, and believe me i found most of it, ugh!. Played the palm course, greens were good, course was in good shape. Will go back, and will bear down on the front, either that or bring a ball retriever.....
Great course, beautiful views and well conditioned track
Great course, beautiful views and well conditioned track. Staff was wonderful, great practice area, would play here again and again.
Good course, tuff greens!
The grass was phenomenal, greens were a little fast but in great shape. Course wasn't backed up at all; it was an extremely enjoyable round, just stay clear of the traps!
Hoppy Time
Front nine greens were fast with lots of breaks, slower on the back, had to be creative to make putts, fun time, overall everything was in good shape, nice to see water in play in Phoenix, felt a little like being back in Florida
