Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

It’s summer in az and we can expect some rough conditions. There is a lot of work going in at the course, so it should be better in the fall. My complaint is that the tee time was sold as the palm course but it was back 9 of palm and back 9 of pine. I should have been alerted before I booked. There is a lot of water in the sand traps. It’s sort of ok for the price but I probably wouldn’t have booked if i knew the front 9 was closed.

I liked the course design. Rather challenging holes with water on the side.

The palm course was beautiful and is exactly as described. The staff was very friendly and helpful & the food at the club was excellent. Will definitely be back!

The back nine was under water, extremely wet - could not believe it was even open for play. Front nine was in great shape. Would play again one the back nine is cleaned up and dried out.

The back nine of the Palms(?) course is under construction and they didn't tell us prior. Fairways not cut or outlined on back nine, nasty water in most bunkers, cones around greens marking off construction spots. Terrible for the price.

Ducks swimming in swampy sand traps. Washouts, burnouts, large pot holes on cart paths. Standing water on fairways, slippery mud at tee boxes…greens as hard as concrete. Horrible signage, needs updating, painted, make it clear, no signs telling you what hole or yardage, GPS did not work for majority of our round. Young male staff all seem to have arrogant entitled attitudes. Such sarcasm…nothing warm or welcoming. Must be demonstrated and accepted by leadership at this goat farm. Nothing to be proud of gents.

Such a waste of money. Not what I expected rolling into the heart of Scottsdale golf courses.

The staff was very nice but things got off to a bad start. I had called earlier & ask about storing my bags b/c I was heading to the airport right after my round. I was told there was a secure area for my bags, but when I arrived I was told that wasn't the case & I had to leave my bags outside behind the cart barn.

The course was very dried out and the greens were like rocks. They need to put some water on the course. Pace was over 4 hours and nobody out there to move along slow groups. Overall I was very disappointed with the course and for what they charge I would not go back or recommend this course.

This Goat Ranch nestled in Scottsdales Ranch district leaves much to be desired. Poor course conditions will make you immediately regret the $140 greens fees & $10 beers. The friendly staff and free range balls are the courses only saving grace. Course should cost $50 at most.

Also witnessed a local patron walk off with an elderly woman's driver from the range.

The course and scenery were great! Was told the greens are fast. Great, I like fast greens. But they’re fast because they are still new. Very thin grass. Felt more like pressed dirt in spots
