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.

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.

Good layout but poorly maintained.

Poor fairways, especially front nine. Patchy grass, scattered small bare areas. Most greens ok, but a few showing multiple damaged areas. Overall layout is good, but the course has deteriorated since I last played it.

Poor Conditions

Lots of bare spots, mud, and thin turf, especially around greens. Sand traps inconsistent in terms of sand depth and overwatering. Not what I expected for the price.
