Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

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.

Played front nine of pine then front nine of palm.while Courses under repair. Temps too hot for driving range practice balls. Golf shop always has a super great selection of clothes.

Playing the front 9s only was not good, they put a rider in the cart with me that was a total stranger! Not good!!

I was pleasantly surprised playing this course again after a few years away. Even with a crowded course of foursomes, we completed our round in just about 4:15; a friendly marshal kept things moving. Good course conditions for the end of winter, good sand in the traps, and the greens rolled fair at a reasonable slope. A good time was had by all, and I will be back. I’m not sure why they had us play the front nine on both courses (others played the back nines, so they were all in play,) but that meant I had to record the round as two 9-hole rounds. Not a big deal, just curious.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The starters and rangers are retired guys looking for free golf and really did not do much to maintain the pace of play. I fould the greens to be fairly quick. The holes are fairly close to each other so stay alert. I just missed getting hit without warning.

Due to the volume of play, the conditions reflected it. I did book through GolfNow which made it a good bang for the buck.
