Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

The pictures are deceiving. The course is eh at best. There are much nicer courses in the area for the same price. The quality of golfers isn’t great so after nearly a 3 hour front nine I packed up and headed to my hotel.

The course was in poor shape. On corse restrooms were awful, I've had better hiking.

Horrible customer service. Rude. Wanted us to play in rain with 20 mph wind and no windshield on carts. Still charged us even though we refused to play in terrible conditions.

Course in poor shape with standing water on multiple holes. Greens ok but had numerous ball marks from heavy play.

Back 9 layout better than front with fewer holes side by side.

Greens were good .Tees and fairways were average. Bunkers were poor and had many had standing water even though it rained 2 days prior. Poor drainage on the course.

The staff was helpful and professional! They blew us away!!!

Nice challenge! Still very enjoyable but not overwhelming!

Course is in good shape. The greens are very fast and very tough.

the tees greens and fairways were as good as i have seen in the phx area.

bunkers, cart paths, on course bathrooms, etc were atrocious. no detail off the main playing surface was too small or major to be completely ignored by the management. interesting philosophy regarding the presentation of your golf product. I would plat again because of the playing surface conditions; it is just a shame because with some TLC it could be a classic.

The fairways were fair to good. Conditions immediately outside the green were poor; hard, ‘tooth’ like hard crab grass. Greens were good. Range location was disappointing, or the staff could have done a better job clearing up the range balls on course fairways. I hit a brand new ball on the left side (in) the fairway. It was in a small sea of Pinnacle range balls -good luck finding your ball. That said, I probably shouldn’t have played a ball that had the same uncommon color… which was WHITE. Anyhow, it was still a good weather day. We T’d off at 2, moving pretty quick and right on the heels of the group in front of us. But when it turned 6pm 4 hours later, and we were just walking off the 14th green, we had to call it a day, which felt like a waste. Lesson: do not overbook your course, put a marshal out there to encourage pace of play. Consider some other options is what I’d say until the course owner addresses some of these common issues I’ve read in other posts. Oh, final thing.. I had good interactions with a courteous staff, so surprised to see others posts who complained about rude staff- I didn’t see that.

I enjoy this course but it has plenty of room for improvement, especially with regard to the practice area. Only 12 practice bays and one small chipping area for two courses is not enough!

A particular criticism is that the small chipping area allows people to take buckets of practice balls and so was covered with balls making it impractical to practice.

The driving range is also much in need of repair/ improvement, especially when hitting off grass.
