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.

Unbelievably Slow Golf

The course was over booked and there was no attempt to keep up pace of play. The Pine Course was in terrible shape, and we switched to the Palm to try and finish 18 after a 3:20 front 9. I would not recommend playing either McCormicks.

Our new "go-to" in Scottsdale

The Pines course is fun and challenging. Unlike the Palms course, these greens will hold a shot if you hit them. The 15th hole, we were told, is the toughest hole in Scottsdale according to Phil M. The staff is terrific, amenities are great (have the southwest salad!) and nice to have the driving range and practice greens. Highly recommend.

Finally somewhere that respects pace of play

Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were a bit inconsistent speed wise but overall the course was in good shape. They didn’t overbook and pace of play was a perfect 4hr round. Tough to find these days in AZ.

Nothing to write home about

They would not let us walk with our electric carts,

Course was packed due to WM and Super Bowl.

Pace of play was really slow.

Not a complete cow pasture, but very close.

For the price it was fair

Nothing fancy
