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.

Enjoyable round

The staff was very friendly and the course was challenging. Greens were true and fast.

Was expecting better

The course had very few golfers on it which allowed for a fast pace of play however it also explained some things. The front 9 was just plain bad. Grounds were in terrible shape. It was difficult to even determine the layout of a hole. Very disappointing for the value.

I play courses like this back home for $15-$20.

Our group has scratched this course off our list of return destinations.

Tough Greens if Above Hole. Hard to Hold on Greens

I have played here before, but the person who set pin positions on this particular day must not be a golf fan. Very difficult pin positions which SLOWS DOWN PLAY - Less $$$ for Course. A few holes are fine, but when 6 out of every 9 are difficult to put it causes frustration and slow play.

TRASH

This course is terrible. This course is scuuuum between my toes. I don’t know what person owns this place, but they haven’t put a dime into it since 1967. There was enough crab grass on the tee box to make a caesar salad. Dirt in the fairways. The paths hat potholes and were uneven. I wouldn’t pay $10 to play here again. Goose poo everywhere too. Its like Continental, but ridiculously overpriced.

TRASH!

I want my moneyback.

Great Course in Scottsdale

I've been vacationing/golfing in Scottsdale for years and have noticed that the cost has increased significantly over the past few years. Hard to find a decent track for under $100. This is a fine course and although the fairways and bunkers were a bit soaked from the prior days rain, we still had a very enjoyable round. I'd both play this course again and recommend this to anyone looking for a course in the Scottsdale area.
