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.

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.

Pine Course

I read a lot of negative reviews about the condition of the Pine Course, but after the monsoon rains the course was in great shape. The greens especially were in fantastic condition, rolling true and at a real nice speed. I played in about 2 1/2 hours so the pace was awesome. The layout is good and it’s a fun course to play. It’s pretty expensive, but if you find a hot deal in the summer it’s affordable.

Fun round on the Pine Course

I played the Pine Course today and really enjoyed the course. They are getting ready for overseed, but you wouldn’t know it based on the condition of the course. Grass from tee to green was in great shape and especially the greens were terrific. The greens rolled very true and at a great pace.I played at 1:12 in the afternoon by myself and played the round in under 2 1/2 hours. I’ve read many negative reviews about both courses and the poor conditions. Luckily for me I’ve played both courses now when the conditions were really good. Both courses have fun layouts and if you can catch them at the right time with good conditions and find a good rate, they’re worth playing.

Save your money

It seems like every employee here hates their job. The guy in the pro shop was rude af. The course conditions were below average, and the pace was soooo slow. Made it through about 12 or 13 holes.. for the same price you can golf camelback across the street and have a way better experience.

Avoid this place

Terrible experience from beginning to end. Every employee seemed to hate their job. The guy in the proshop was rude af. The course was in poor condition, putting green was the worst ive seen, standing water in every bunker made them unplayable, tee boxes pretty chewed up. The pace on the back was soooooo slow. Spend the extra money and golf camelback across the street, 100x better experience.

It was worth my time and money.

I actually wasn’t sure what the conditions would be. I arrived to the course with an open mind. It was 101* when i arrived. I checked in 30 minutes prior to my tee time and was given the opportunity to warm up or head straight to the first tee. I opted to hit like 5-7 warm up shots then head to the tee. The course has been through a lot lately but was really surprised on the conditions. 17 of 18 greens were in really good shape. There was only 1 that needed a little help and attention. The greens and fairways were nicely manicured. And the tee boxes were not overly grassy. Just the right amount of grass. Overall it was great experience and would highly recommend the course to other players looking for a course in great summer conditions.
