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.

Not worth trying

With so many beautiful courses in the valley, you should skip this one . Too slow, too many houses everywhere, just not a beautiful course.

Maybe for $25 I would play it again

Pine Course at McCormick Ranch

Typical fall weather. Wide open course, easy to find that stray ball off the fairway. Couple of slow groups kept the round frustrating.

Busy on Turkey Weekend but a good value

They book too many teetimes on the holiday weekend but in general I think that the value proposition for this course is excellent.

Pine Course Always A Test

A favorite. Lots of water, trees and subtle doglegs, especially from the back tees. Good job of overseeding turf. Busy!

McCormick Pines Course In Good Shape

Pines Course in good shape on 11/17 with few wet areas after winter over-seeding. Earlier golfer comments seem accurate. Greens rolled well with challenging flagstick placements. A number of greens have ball marks that lazy golfers could have fixed. Our group finished near dusk and AZ sun in your eyes was another dimension.

I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED PLAYING TYHIS GOURSE.

A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE I HAD FROM MY MOST RECENT

ROUND, 11/16, WAS OUT OF 18 HOLES PLAYED NOT ONE SAND TRAP/BUNKER HAD BEEN RAKED AND/OR MAINTAINED.

FOR A COURSE OF THIS QUALITY I FEEL THIS LACK OF APPROPRIATE PREPARATION FOR PLAY IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. IT WAS MOST DISAPPOINTING..

Great Course with challenging paced greens

A real treat of a course. Great shape and challenging to the shot. Friendly width on most holes with sneaky water and bunkers here and there.
