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.

McCormack Ranch

The Pine course is very wide open course. The greens when I played were in rough shape… slow and bumpy.

Great Course Condition

Was visiting from NJ and got a good deal on Golf Now. The course was in great shape after the overseeing was completed. Greens were in good shape but not overly fast. Fairways beautiful. Would recommend.

Excellent golf course and facilities.

I come over from the UK every year for 3/4 weeks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The course is lovely. My only observation is that the bunkers should have softer sand. Otherwise the course was excellent. Looking forward to playing again.

Brutal greens but a lot of fun

Beautiful course, and harder than the USGA seems to credit it for being. I’m a mediocre golfer and found my share of fairway hazards on a few holes as a first timer playing there. Everyone had trouble on the greens - even 2 members we played with. But it was a lot of fun, warm up facilities terrific, staff nice. One of my favorite courses yet. We played Ambiente day before and both of us preferred this course.

Nice Layout

Compared to most public courses, McCormick Ranch Pine is well kept, and an interesting layout not crammed into too small a space. There is a nice practice facility as well. I'll be happy to return and play either course again.

Outstanding

Course is in fabulous condition. Greens a bit slow, but consistent. Boxes in great shape and fairways gorgeous. Cart path only, but some folks violated this rule. One concern, golfers don’t repair ball marks on greens. This is indicative of the snobs that play here. Otherwise, it’s gorgeous

Overseed no good

Horrible overseed left unplayable conditions. Pro shop wasn’t too friendly, cart guy was. I cannot believe the rate is over $100 in-season.
