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.

Goat track

Pace of play was ridiculous and no marshal to be seen. The sand traps are hard pan dirt. Just not worth the money.

If someone was inclined to do so this could be a nice course.

Smells like sewer

Beautiful course and great layout but the fairways were soggy with smelly sewer water. Terrible overall experience.

The Palm course was not in anything that I would call just OVERSEEDED IF ANYTHING THEY NEED TO TRY THAT AGAIN. Your supposed to replace the Bermuda with rye when you overseed, didn’t happen here. Probably won’t be back.

Gone down hill

Played this course quite a few times years ago. It used to be in great shape. It's in bad shape these days. Kind of sad.

Greens

The greens on Pine rolled true and the ball held the line. My only concern and it has nothing to do with the course. The greens could even be better if golfers would fix their ball marks.
