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.

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!

Enjoyable round. The course was fun to play wide fairways and well protected greens.

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

Would return to play

There was some rain in the morning, which was great for us because we were able to play just the two of us. We enjoyed the layout of the course, except for hole 15, which we found to be really challenging. Although the grass really is in dire need of water, it was fun. I can tell that this course has seen better days and in those days, it would be beautiful. Staff were really friendly.

Very Poor Course Conditions

Course was extremely wet, flooded I. Some areas, greens weren’t smooth they were bulky with some type of artificial grass. We were all extremely disappointed given the conditions to cost.
