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.

It’s a cheap course that I paid a lot of money for traps had weeds growing around them I felt like I was played a municipal course.

Worst course conditions for $150 I’ve ever played. Fairways were OK but too many bare spots off fairways and around greens. I play several courses around the valley that are in better condition for 1/3 or 1/2 the price.

Summer like conditions in April

I expect the conditions to be much better for this course this time of year. It’s currently playing worse than I’ve ever seen it, it’s like playing like it’s the middle of summer, but we’re playing in April when there should be prime conditions. Pace of play was fine, except that they’re letting people go out in fivesomes, we got stuck behind a groups and it did slow play.. plan on hitting out of basically dirt. Very little grass, even on the fairiways it’s really thin. Off fairway it’s patches of really thin grass and dirt, On a good note the greens are in pretty darn good shape.

McCormick Ranch. What happened?

I have played this course well over 100 times and the condition of the fairways were the worst ever. Hitting iron shots off dirt in the middle of the fairway does not seem to support the $100.00 green fees. WOW.

Over rated

Very slow play, lot of dirt outside of fairways and greens if you don’t hit a money shot your ball is sitting on dirt, on the back 9 beverage cart only appearance was when we’re on the 17th fairway, no social atmosphere clubhouse/bar/restaurant. For the price I’d prefer other options with better amenities

Wonderful greens.

The fairways and greens were wonderful. Ball tracked on the greens perfect and the fairways were green and hard.

Rough was a little sparse but understandable with the water situation in the dessert. Challenging track but with ample size fairways. Was a fun time!

Fair considering it’s full peak season rate.

T boxes a bit rough. No bunkers dressed at all. Hardpan and standing water in a few. Greens played well. No food service available after round.

Greens good, rest of course no so much.

Whether on the fairways or just off, I was hitting off hardpan dirt for much of the round. The greens were true but were very firm and holding an approach was difficult,,
