Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

McCormick Ranch is a regular "go too" course for us on the weekend. It is beautiful, great location, staff is courteous, golf pace is reasonably good, and it is challenging enough. We understand the course is being worked on and the goal is to renovate both the back of the Palm and Pine courses. It will always be at the top of our list.

I thought it was a little too pricey for what you get. Other than that it was a great course to play. Some of the greens were a bit rough. Was able to go out as a single and there was nobody in my way anywhere. Almost had the course to myself.

Pine front 9 was nice. Fun layout and good condition. Palm back 9 was in bad shape. Very dry, water in bunkers and greens in bad shape. Night and day conditions between the two 9’s. Would have rather played the Pine front again.

So, The Pine course at McCormick Ran h is actually the front nine of Pine, and the back nine of Palm they are doing some major renovations to the courses. By doing this, they have created a decent 18 holes. The course is still in shaky shape. The greens are SO slow it was hard to adjust to the speed. The Palm nine was in very rough condition, especially the greens. So may bare patches. I had my first hole in one on the Palm course and I truly believe they will get the course back in wonderful condition by the fall. I’d wait to play, but then you’ll also be subject to higher fees. Tough choice.

Have always loved this course! Great locale, nice staff, good driving range and challenging. They have been renovating the course and so are in a state of temporary upheaval. Nonetheless, we enjoy this course and they are accomodating by being flexible how you get 18 holes in. They can let us play front 9 of Pine and then back 9 of the Palm. Great spot for golf anytime!!

Had a great round yesterday. The course was in great shape, and the round was smooth from the range to the 18th. Went out with my daughter and there was plenty of challenge for both of us from the different tees.

Fun course, great scenery and the price was right. Looking forward to coming back.

This course has always been one of my favorites in Scottsdale. Great location, courteous staff, good course layout, challenging enough and beautiful wildlife!!! Prettiest sunset views! They are undergoing a renovation and so they are flexible with how to get your best 9 or 18 holes in.

Paid full cost to play The Pine course on golf now. Just to get to golf course and find out that both The Palms and The Pines courses back nines are under renovation. So had to play both front nines. Still nice course but really wanted to play the full 18 holes at The Pines.

Decent round of golf at a price below their normal levels. I wouldn't pay more than $90 for this course. Pace of play was good and other golfers were nice. Staff at check in and at the carts didn't seem to have customer service skills. We smiled and thanked them but no replies. Makes you wonder if they are unhappy in general or with you.

I really enjoyed the Pines front 9 holes. We had to play the Palms front nine as our back 9 that day so my review is only for The Palms. This was well maintained as it had clearly been watered and while the greens were recently aerated they were fast and fair. Good tee boxes which have been hard to find in the Valley. Try the Pines!

I’m sorry but course are charging 4 x what they used to but putting none of the profits back into the course. First they give you a bucket with about 20 balls the fairways where there is grass is painted green. They seem to have a lot of locals that love it but not me.

Don't want to spend too much time on this bashing the course, but with the exception of the greens it was almost unplayable. In my opinion this course should not even be open. Fairways were not even Fairways it was more dirt than there was grass. I was here on vacation and hoping for better.

First course I played since moving to Arizona and I was happily surprised with this course!

The ‘new’ pine is front 9 of ‘old’ pine and palm. The front 9 were in rough conditions - on the 3 rd hole I had better lie in the rough then my friend had in the fairway. Back 9 was in good shape.

With the amount of great golf in this area, this place is an absolute miss.

I booked an 8:30am Friday round as a single and got thrown into a 9-person bachelor party—most of whom clearly didn’t golf. I was stuck in the last twosome behind two foursomes that got louder, slower, and more out of control with every hole. The course backed up completely, and there wasn’t a ranger anywhere to manage it.

By the time we reached the 9th hole on Pine (our 18th after being rerouted), the entire group decided to play the hole together as a 10-some. That’s not a slight delay—that’s a complete breakdown of course management.

I tried to hang back and finish with the annoyed twosome behind us, but we all walked off when balls started flying everywhere. At that point, it wasn’t just slow—it was insulting.

There’s too much good golf in Scottsdale to deal with this level of chaos. At $180, this isn’t just disappointing—it’s a joke. Stay away.

Greens and sandtraps in great shape. Fairways not lush for this time of year.

The fairways and greens are slightly damaged, however the environment is excellent.
