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.

The course was not very busy so by the time we were on the course all course amenities were closed. I would have expected these to remain open since the golfers on the course still paid full rate. The front nine of the pine course could be any long course there was no astetic landscaping you would expect on a course for the price. The back was better.

The course needs more watering, aeration, and longer grass throughout. It has really been neglected which is inexcusable with the revenue coming into golf courses and the fact that weather has been good for the last 6 months. I will likely not play here again this year.

Tough Greens!

Great course! Greens were fast and tough to read, especially coming out of winter (from where we live). Back nine was slow, having to wait on every hole as the 4-some in front were really slow and inconsiderate...I noted they were at least a hole behind the group ahead of them and we waited on every hole for them. Staff was very friendly and helpful, except for the bar and kitchen....bar tender said they were short of help, so no food available and would have to order and wait for drinks to take outside seating area. That was a bit annoying, but I guess it a sign of the times.

Okay but not great

Too few tee boxes for warming up…had to wait for one to clear. Should reserve some for players who are going out. Course not in great shape..sparse fairways with lots of crab grass and weeds. Bunkers not raked .greens okay but not consistent

Splendid conditions

Plenty of green, not just the prime landing areas. Wish I were down the middle every time, but don't want to hit off bare dirt hardpan when I'm not. Interesting variety of holes. Challenging trap positions. Beautiful vista's. Cart guys were eager and friendly. Wish the holes had been more clearly marked. Got lost once or twice and there were no clear markings on the tees to tell you where you were.

Wonderful well laid out course - it took up over 5 hours to play on a Friday at 11:20 - we like the course a lot. We would have stayed & had dinner, but they only serve breakfast & lunch.

Love the Course

It took us about 6hrs to finish our round. I enjoyed the company of the people I was playing with because they were hilarious. This kept us distracted as we sat around waiting for the group ahead of us. They were extreeeeemely slow.
