Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club

so they were having a collegiate tournament in the next few days, so some of the players were doing their practice rounds. Then some of their friends playing behind them and then us.

The starter tells us "we like a 4:15 to 4:30 rounds here; so keep up the pace" But then he won't enforce it on the friends of the collegiate players who were straight up hacks. We finished 18 in the dark when base on his instruction should of been sipping a drink at the 19th hole by sundown!

Very disappointed in this course. A very average course with a Scottsdale price tag. Biggest issue: PACE OF PLAY. 5 HOUR ROUND. After several hole of waiting it was like being at the dentist with no Novocain. You just wanted it to be over. How can people in carts play this slow? Firm, fast and hard greens made putting ridiculous. Approach shots would bounce off or roll to the back. Raised greens so short shots stopped dead. You had to land on the green and hope the pin was in the back. Three foot putts would roll out 12 feet past the hole. Fairways varied. Some were ok and other were very thin. The rough was dead dormant grass. It was like hitting out of straw.

Fairways were hard with no guarantee of grass. Need some aeriation and water. Greens were good.

The greens are nasty hard but awesome to play on. Smooth and fast. Loved them. But the Pace of play was horrible. Having 8 minutes in between tee times is moronic. We played 18 holes in 4 hours and 40 minutes. That’s a joke. We waited on every hole.

Friend booked this course, he had just played it in November and said it was in good shape. It wasn’t terrible but not worth the price of admission.

Very friendly and courteous staff. Nice open layout. Fast greens.

Trees are gone so the front 9 is wide open. The back 9 is nice. Good layout challenging shots

Course is pleasant on the eye and easy enough to play if you keep everything in the fairway. Outside of that the grass is flat and dry so it feels like hitting off hard dirt.

The greens were fast and the pins were often in quite impossible positions so even if you got there in regulation, you could walk away with a bogey or double.

Well conditioned, player friendly course. Greens very fast and undulating making approach shots a premium. Friendly staff.

I have played this course numerous times , the fairways are great and the greens roll pretty nice but for some reason if you’re off the fairway there is nothing to hit off of. It’s probably one of the more reasonable courses around ( price ) but still over $100.00. Golf is getting too expensive to play in Scottsdale ( dynamic pricing) the sad part is maybe people need to look elsewhere. Staff was friendly but pace of play was terrible.
