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.

Need Marshall’s to do there job

Overall we had a good day. The only negative was they did not follow through on their starter commitment that they would be in the course regularly. The groups in front of us were over a hole behind and we were waiting on every hole. Greens were awesome and fairways in good shape as welk

Traditional Golf in AZ

It was refreshing not to see any Cactus or lizards, or any rattlesnakes. This is a traditional golf course layout. Tree lined, some water on a few holes to Navigate. You must pay attention to the course map, so you can avoid the trouble. The pins can be tricky if they want you to hate golf. Lots of undulating greens that roll faster than you think. Easy course to hone in the golf game. Plenty of distance. Lots of errant shots from other tee boxes, so don't pick up a ball that isn't yours! Pay attention. Come on, man!

McCormick ranch pines course

Great play to play!

The greens are fast! The fairways are well taken care of and the yee boxes are great.

Some tricky holes that require good aim and planning.

About 4'15" to play.

SPX2 on vacation

Not a great course. Looks nice from the Bvld...but not in good shape inside. Especially for the money.

White tees very demanding.

Not a good course to play for the average golfer. Too many tricks in the fairways and on the greens.

Never Again.

My expectations must have been WAY TOO HIGH for this course in the Scottsdale area.

I anticipated a 'resort' style course meticulously maintained with elevation changes etcetera BUT NO none of that.

They're maximizing profit with minimum reinvestment into their course.

Too many rounds per year and it shows.

The photos show the conditions when I was on site and the Director of Golf stated that "We have NOT deemed our course unplayable" How can that be??

Very nice course

The staff is very friendly & helpful. Course is well maintained for how much traffic they have. Pace was very good. We didn’t have to wait on a tee box once nor did we have anyone waiting on us. Will definitely consider this course when we are in the area again.
