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.

Poor customer experience

Told we would have 30 minute delay due to frost. Turns ou we were delayed due to frost and a tournament. After more than an hour wait the last tournament group teed off and were on the first green. We got to the starter who then informed us that we would have to wait until the last 3 threesome of the tournament reached the 4 th tee. At this point we were ready to quit and approached the golf pro desk to find out what was going. We were tired of waiting, tired of the poor information and new wait times. They then said we were teeing off in five minutes. What a disaster in the customer experience.

Excellent course, fun challenge and good layout

The course was in good condition and even with a frost delay we were able to finish our round in just under 4.5 hours. Huge bonus on the par 4 15th hole that has a very challenging island green and you have to be carful not to overshoot the approach shot. Overall a great experience.

Slow play

Was not informed that the course was cart path only until we teed off, subsequently the pace of play was slowed down and we were unable to complete the 18 holes that were paid for. One of the fairways was painted green because the grass was almost dead

These guys are Trash and Money Hungry

I bring a group of golfers for a party and 3 of them bailed late and because I booked it, these pricks charged me for all the no shows. l understand they could have sold the spots but things happen where you can’t make it and this is the only course that I’ve heard of that actually charged it. Most are understanding. Plenty of nice courses in Scottsdale, Stay away from this place!

Winter Golfer

The pace of play was slow as there was a tournament that same day.

It was cart path only because of the wet conditions.

NO WARNINGS ON TERRIBLE PLAY

I had a 2:08 tee time with my buddy (twosome) and was told that we were delayed after we paid. We did not tee off until 2:25. BOTH back 9’s were closed and we had to wait for THREE GROUPS every tee box. Not to mention it was CART PATH ONLY. I paid over 90 dollars only to play 13 holes before it got too dark. As a 2some, it should be easy finishing 18 with 3.5 hrs of daylight. The staff/ course obviously had no intention of caring about telling us that the back 9’s were closed, that it was backed up by 3 groups, AND that it was CART PATH ONLY. Like seriously?! They did not ever bother covering 50% of the tee charge or any cover of some sort. Do not play here, plenty of better options for the same price
