Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
About
The Pine Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club offers mature pines, in an appropriate contrast to its sibling golf course, the Pine Course, and is also narrower than the other golf course. What they have in common include the facts that Desmond Muirhead designed both of them and they both date back to 1972; recent renovations have also given both golf courses new greens, sand traps and bridges.
The Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club measures 7,187 yards, kicking off on a 398-yard par 4 that requires tee shot toward the fairway's center, leaving golfers a mid- to short-iron from the green, which slopes narrowly. Things get long by the fourth hole, one of four par-5 holes that come in at over 500 yards; this one, for example, makes you place your drive well toward right-center if you want to shoot for it in two. Close out the round of golf on the 18th hole, another long one, at 517 yards from the blue tees, and a tight hole to drive that will, thankfully, provide your last test for the day.

Golfer Reviews
McCormick Palms &Pine
They had 9 holes on Palms Course and 9holes on Pine Course because of renovations on back of both courses. The Palms Course was great. We got 2 holes in on the Pine Course. Rained out. Back at pro shop for rain check, but NO.!!. No rain check given.
Kinda sucked for the $120. greens fee for 18 holes.
Not very good service and very disappointing.
Too bad, as course conditions were great on holes we played.
Not worth 100 bucks even during the winter
It’s just a basic neighborhood muni with no character. Greens were punched 6 weeks ago and still haven’t recovered. Many places on the course were bare and some had huge drill and fill holes. The lakes smelled of rotting dead fish, we saw probably 20 dead fish floating in the “lakes”. It’s just not well taken care of and doesn’t warrant a $100 price tag. Should have spent a little more to play McDowell mountain.
Thank you for your nice rating! We are renovating and aim to be complete by October. Look forward to you playing again!
McCormick Sunday
My husband and I try to play most Sundays during the winter and love it!! The staff is courteous, checking in is always easy, the pace moves along fine, the range is great and the course is challenging enough. Wildlife is beautiful! We love getting a glimpse of the bald eagles. And the views of the McDowell's and Camelback cannot be beat. Look forward to playing when we return in October!
Another disappointment
They have 2 course and 9 of each were closed for overseed /maintenance not sure.
The back 9 of palm was in terrible shape, greens were black and hard to find grass.
All
The bunkers were either full
Of water or hard . It was
Swampy on a lot of the fairways even tho this was before we had rain.
The front 9 of pine was a lot better but overall for $110 in summer it was robbery. The course is basic enough so nothing to warrant the price.
Thanks so much for your feedback. Bear with us as we renovate and flexible to get in 18 holes. We aim to be complete in October. Look forward to you coming back!
Sunday Golf in Scottsdale
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.
Thanks so much for your taking the time to let us know. Hang in there with us as we renovate with the goal of being complete in October. Look forward to you coming to play again!
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.
Thanks so much for your feedback. We are in the process of renovating the back nine on Pine and then will move to the back nine on the Palm course. Look forward to you coming back again!
Thank you for your feedback! We are in the process of renovating the back nine of the Pine course. We then will work to renovate the back nine of the Palm course. We can only do so much at a time and we are committed to the completion. Please come back and visit us again!
McCormick review
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.
Thanks for your feedback! We are almost done with the back nine on Pine, then we will work on the back nine of the Palm course. It takes time. Be patient and come back to try us again. We will be back in the fall!!
Combined Nines
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.
Thank you so much for your feedback and especially your willingness to be patient with us as we work through our renovations on both courses. We will be back in the fall! Look forward to you coming back to play again.
Thank you for your feedback! We are in the process of renovating. Please bear with us as we aim to be creative about getting in 18 holes. Please try us again!
