Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

2 hours 45 minutes through front nine. So hot I quit after nine. Prices are crazy and play is slow across the valley. All out for as much money as they can get. Fortunately played with great guys.

Played here a lot in the past. It’s an OK layout. Expensive for the condition. We got to play the front nine on both the palm and the pine and the greens on the palm were incredibly hard and crazy fast. And the pine’s greens were much more receptive and softer.

Very dry. It may not be the fault of the course, but it needed a lot more water!

Not sure what’s going on with the course this year, but it was a terrible condition. Lotta dead spots lotta standing water. Just everything was bad except the greens were really good.

Front 9 was fine. Back nine was in very rough shape.

The course itself looks pretty the greens are next to impossible to hold. I usually generate a decent amount of spin but most approach shots would bounce and roll an extra 30/40 feet. Fairways were eh. Overall would not recommended this course for the money

Staff great, course conditions for the price , not a good

Overrated. Biggest complaint is the greens are rock hard and SUPER fast. Many times we hit the green and it bounces over. Fairways are extremely sparse, of grass. Ground so hard it was difficult to get tee in ground. IMO only reason it is popular is location, location, location.

I hit the green on at least four holes where the ball then rolled off into the water. The grass was very thin in most areas so be ready to hit off hardpan. On hole #9, I hit the island fairway and the balled rolled into the water.

We had a tee time around mid-day on a Saturday. It rained the night before but stopped by 6:00am and was otherwise a perfect, sunny, warm day from 7:00am onward. When we arrived at the course, we were informed it was cart-path only all day because the course was water logged. Having rained the night before, that seemed reasonable at the time. However, once we got out on the course it was clear the course had drained just fine and was in great shape. Over the course of 18 holes, there were only 3 holes that were too wet and should have been cart-path only. Instead, they made the entire course cart-path only which slowed the pace of play to a crawl. We were constantly waiting and our round took 5.5. hours. Twice I attempted to raise my concerns with the rangers that there was no need to enforce the cart-path only rule on every hole and that it was making the pace of play miserably slow. My concerns fell on deaf ears or were met with rude and aggressive responses from the rangers. The carts at this course are GPS-enabled so the course can set specific holes as cart-path only while unlocking other holes. It simply refused to do so.

The staff and course were very well managed.

The experience was great and I look forward to my next round there.
