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.

Great sunset golf

McCormick was a great course with very friendly staff. The course is a bit tricky with sloping greens lots of water and sand, so be prepared to lose a couple balls. Bunkers were a bit stiff but otherwise the course played great, especially in the late afternoon with the sun setting on the back nine.

Beautiful

Course was in great shape, greens were a little slow, downside of having a lot of ducks and geese I’d waste all over.

Cart path only

Because of rains 2 days prior course was cart path only pretty exhausted at the end too much walking in and out but the pro shop said normally it's 90 degrees that's why you can see fairways were awsome condition we played the palm would come back to play the pine course

Challenging greens

Need some strategy on this course. Hole #9 ate 5 of our balls. Lot of water on Palm. Sloped fast greens.

Been to McCormick 3 times and had to follow a Tournament or company scramble each time, so pace of play is slow. Check before you book if event is going on

Nice but lacks hole markings

First off - it’s a very nice course - greens are great and the course is challenging. But, the course needs better signage marking where next hole is. Also the web site said 90 degree rule but when we got there it was cart path only. We may not have golfed had we known that. Understandably it had rained a lot a couple of days earlier, but the majority of the fairways were so dry that there was no reason to restrict the carts to the paths only. It’s a long course and the cart path only rule made it even longer. Caution: don’t purchase a mixed drink from the cart person unless you ask the price first. We got charged $11 US for a vodka/cran/soda., Should have had the $5 beer!

Over. Rated.

Overrated, and overpriced. I’d rather play at Sun City and pay less than have the price we paid for McCormick.

Got rained on Hole 1 from the driving range, while on the 1st fairway.

Front nine greens had lots of sand.

Few aesthetically pleasing holes; lots of holes side-by-side with little separation.

Would rather pay $100 for TPC Champions or Dove Valley courses.

Good course. Fun time

We played the course in 4 hours. Great condition. Greens ran at 10 on the stimp and rolled true. Only saw beverage cart twice and would have been nice to see it more. Great time. Friendly staff.

Good course for a rusty game

Played with 3 very cool guys from Portland. I was a single. Course was perfect for my 1st round in almost 4 months. Pretty straightforward with enough water in play to keep you alert. I would describe it as a higher end muni. Staff was very friendly and practice facilities (free) were excellent! Huge putting green, 2 chipping greens and a nice sand trap for practice.
