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.

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.

Taxedddddd

Solid track. Cannot complain about conditions this time of year. But omg is it completely overpriced. On a Friday, no bev cart at 1pm, no food at 2pm (need a dog or wrap at the turn cmon), no water jugs on the course and do not even give you a bottle. Way overpriced for what they’re offering. Would rather pay $20 more to hit camelback.

M ranch

The course for this time of year was in very very very good condition, there were a couple of rough spots due to moisture and some areas around the trees had high grass that had not been cut for a few days or so but overall the fairways were nice the greens were very good and the sand traps were more than fair. On the downside there were a few water fountains but if you brought your own container they were hard to fill because there wasn’t much pressure and for this time of year you can’t rely on waiting to catch a water fountain to take a drink there’s not enough on the golf course you have to have a container and it would be nicer to have the facilities to fill them up while your playing, That aside I enjoyed the time.

Great place to play!

Over all I thought the Pine course was in great shape. Fairways we're lush and greens were rolling. Can't ask for more especially during summer time.

I understand it is July however other courses in much better shape with lower green fees. No water provided in any fashion. Make sure you bring f your own if you decide to play.

Many greens were in horrible condition. Refreshments......?

Guesses that brought were very disappointed in the condition of many of the greens for these summer time rates $90.00.

Additionally, the day was very hot and only saw the drink cart girl one time the entire round. Made for a really long back 9.

Overall, disappointed for a perceived golf course of this stature.

Awful.

Wow. Hadn’t played here in a while but the conditions were just horrible. Got lost once because it’s not clear where to go for the next hole and no signs anywhere. Greens were bumpy and had patches of sand all over.

So backed up its terrible

This course is backed up on every hole. No marshall and it might be a 5 1/2 round. Never play here again. $60 for the slowest round of crowded golf. Not worth it at all!
