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.

Tough around the edges

Black soot sprinkled on all tee boxes . Shire and clothes were a mess. Tee boxes rough and greens lumpy in many areas making a clean roll tough. Staff friendly but definitily a tired course

McCormick Ranch

Enjoyed playing this course. Staff allowed my golf partner to go out as twosome earlier than our scheduled tee time. Back 9 was more difficult than the front 9. Fairways were in very good shape. Tee boxes were a little beat up but acceptable for play. Hole 15 is worth playing twice because you must go over water twice.

Enjoyable Golf Day

This course is good, but my choice if you were going to play would be the Palm course. I like that course much better, but it wasn't available due to overseeding. The Pine course is fun however and you would like it.

Course changed with the loss of many trees. Conditions on Pine good from recent overseeding. The #1 handicap green in horrible condition from prior oil damage before overseeding.

Great Value

The course is in very good condition, challenging but not horribly difficult. Fun layout. The wind was amazingly strong, a two club wind on many holes. Staff was friendly and pace was pretty good.

Pine course

Was not told it was cart path only

Rough needed to be cut very long and could not find balls

Was told they don’t have enough help to keep course cut

Deepest Rough in Arizona

The rough was so deep the 3 offs lost 8 balls and the constant searching for balls slowed down the game to the point that we essentially gave up searching and just took undeserved penalties. Very disappointing. I expected better conditions for the high price they charged.
