Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

The courses was in the worst shape, I have ever seen a course for that price. The back nine fairways were punch. The people at the course did not tell us before we payed. When I said something nobody cared. I will never play there again and tell all my friends to pass on that place.

Fun golf course, great amenities and friendly staff. Solid layout and fun course. Course conditions on palms #10 fairway was aerated and marginal. Also the bunkers need more sand. but all in all a fun golf course that I would play again. Thanks for a great day!

For the money it was not worth it. Over a hundred and it was not in good shape. Played several other courses in the area that trip and all were better except 1 that I only payed $50 to play.

Friendly staff and a nice facility. The course was in good shape. A little spendy for this course but everything is high around here right now.

Could be fun but not in good shape. Back nine was muddy and torn up by maintenance equipment tires. Greens very good. Sand traps awful. Some cement hard, mostly just very little sand. Not good value for the money.

The layout is good but the course was below average in shape. The fairways on the front were ok but not so much on back 9. The greens were ok. The "rough" was in pretty poor shape overall.

Considering the price the mantra of you get what you pay for holds true.

I would rather pay $20-$30 more for a course that is far superior to this one.

This course fairways were40% dirt and the traps were like hitting your ball off cement. Greens were decent and the staff were very nice. For the $125 fee it was definitely not worth it. The McCormick ranch is relying on their past reputation. The course really needs a ton of work but they say they are booking 400 rounds per day so why bother? We are avid golfers and new to the area. We won’t be back and you should save your money.

Unfortunately I made these comments about McDowell Mt by mistake that course is great and puts McCormick ranch golf to shame.

Decent course. Hard fast greens. B v service was terrible. Saw cart once on 18 holes.

Pace of play was very poor: 4 1/2 hours.

Back side of Palm was aerated and fairways were terrible, muddy and rough. No mention of aerating when tee time was booked.

Greens extremely hard and ball just bounced off the back side. Need to put some of that fariway water on the greens.

Weather was great but unfortunately course was not!

Perfect day. For 18 at McCormack Ranch. Staff friendly (especially starter Kelly) practice balls included Very enjoyable. (Last 6 holes were slow due to group of 4 young players in front of us that were doing a lot of goofing around) would definitely go back again!!

The guys on outside services were organized, efficient and so friendly. Quick to your car upon arrival and came back to load the car at the bag drive. As good as any private course!! They even ran after a departing guest with their range finder. Very impressive. Also the starter was very friendly.

We are out here for a month and finding decent courses that are affordable this time of year can be challenging. I have played several in the area and my “go to” courses are the Pine and Palm. While I probably enjoy the Palm a little bit better, and I think it is in slightly better condition, the Pine is the more challenging and both are great for the cost! The staff has never treated me with anything other than great respect, and they are very Covid conscious. You are not charged extra for taking a cart as a single, pace of play is fine, and the greens are in very nice shape. Some of the bunkers could use some sand in them, and the rough is a little hard and bare in some areas, but some of that may be the time of year. I have been a member of a private club in Illinois for several years, and have been very pleased with the value for the money and the overall experience at McCormick Ranch. I will be back!!

My group was harassed by a ranger that claimed we were a hole behind. I pointed out that there was a group on the next tee and he argued with me that I was wrong. When my group reached the next tee, we had to wait for the group ahead of us.

I informed the clubhouse staff of what had happened and they didn't seem to care. I guess because they are in Scottsdale, they can charge whatever they want and be rude to their guests. Won't be me again anytime soon.
