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.

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!

Excellent course, well worth your consideration

This was the second time I have played this course and I am glad I went back.

On my first visit (5 months ago) I gave feedback that the practice range needed improvement - the new mats were installed a few weeks ago and they are excellent!

Fairways are in great condition plus the greens are fast but smooth although very hard.

My one (minor) criticism would be that the bunkers have just hard coarse sand - not a problem for those lucky enough to stay out of the bunkers but I had the opportunity to experience far too many of them.

I will return to this course again as it is fair value for money and a provides a great test of skill.

Good Value

Overall the course is in decent shape. Only major complaint was the 15th green being very beat up. This is already the toughest hole on the course, and having a beat up green made it even tougher. Staff was friendly and beverage cart came around plenty of times

Layout not very interesting...straight away flat. Greens in good shape and good speed. Had not played course in 7-8 years. Thought $110 for play was about $40 overpriced given alternative courses.

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.
