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.

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,,

Not worth the money

I’ve been coming to the Phoenix area for over 20 years to play golf. My friends from the area never brought me to play here. Now I know why, not worth the money. I was thinking because it’s in Scottsdale that it should be pretty nice. I saw a lot more dirt than grass. Nothing jumped out giving me the feeling that I needed to come back and play.

Do not hit in the bunker

If there was sand in the bunker, it was minimal. Like hitting off the cart path. Very disappointing for a $140.00 round of golf

Snobby staff

Felt like the staff were above the patrons. When it started to rain and asked the staff about a rain check, he responded “Why?” Because it’s raining!!

The greens were more dirt than grass. Not impressed

The got the "ranch" part right

Atrocious just awful I get bermuda is dormant this time of year but if you miss the "fairway". It mostly either mud or dirt with maybe a clump or two or grass mixed on. Speaking of the "fairways". Also disgraceful 2 inches long in place, dirt in other places mud all over some areas just large patches of sand. It truly is a ranch it looks feels and smell like it's maintained by goats and cattle are allowed to graze at night.. for $160 I could have played 50 courses in town that are better. It's should be more like $16 dollars that's about what it's worth. Oh and at $160 get ready to pay for range balls on top of that to warm up. Perhaps this should be turned back into farm land or a park probably would be maintained better. The layout is awful half the holes you have to hit over trees to hit anything longer than 6iron off the tee on par fours. Don't bother it's time and money you will never get back

Golf the pines

Course was in great shape except for bunkers. They were in terrible shape so did not play them. Other than that had a wonderful day!

Better Courses in the Area

Played McCormick Ranch Pine Course in late February. High priced for the course conditions and pace of play. You can find much better course options in the area. SunRidge Canyon and Legend Trail were much better for similar price.
