Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Bit rough, traps like concrete.
I can allow for construction and maintenance, but the course we played had greens that were burned or barren and the traps were absolutely pathetic. Could have troweled a slab in most, like concrete. Didn’t have to rake, couldn’t even leave a footprint. Gravel, not sand. Break your club if you try hit. One of my favorite courses, but full price for a course needing work was a bit unreasonable.

Course in really poor shape
Paid $149 (reasonable rate for a nicer course in Scottsdale this time of year) to play the Pine course. When we got there I was informed by the bag attendant that half of one of the courses was shut down for renovations so we were going to sent to play the back 9 of both the palm and the pine course. When I told him we didn't want to do that, he said I should have called the clubhouse when setting up the tee time to let them know I wouldn't want to split the round between the two courses. Why would a customer assume that they are supposed to call to clarify that they want to play the course that they paid to play?
The course was in rough shape, the majority (more than half) of the bunkers on both courses had standing water and the greens on the pine course were pretty torched. Far more mud than you would typically see on a solid Scottsdale course.
The layout was cool and I'm sure when it's in good shape it's a fun course, but feels like an absolute rip off at this price point. Incredibly disappointed with the course and the experience.
Overpriced with snobby pro shop
Don't waste your money unless you're a brand new golfer and your only objective is to not lose a ball...like playing in a field.
Bunkers and greens are not good
Bunkers had lots of standing water (so did course so sprinklers are not synched very well) and no sand just mud. We played Pine and greens on front slower than molasses and back started with them quicker but last three holes were slow even downhill
Not up to scratch
The course conditions were horrible. The sand traps were completely full of water. We have taken the golf course our future list of golf courses to play.
Mudball Ranch
They're over-watering the course, trying to shock the turf back to life. As a result, balls picked up mud in fairways every time. Bunkers were filled with water! Great land, shabby course. Needs to be totally refurbished.
low cost golf
Low cost for Scottsdale but still high for most people. Worth a visit but not exceptional.
Not in my wheelhouse
Rye grass was non-existent but the real issue was NO SAND in the bunkers …
Nice Course but then it turned in to Clown Town.
The course and conditions were great. It could use more shade in areas where you typically park carts. Course from whites was on the short side, lots of Par 4's in the 350-370 range, which means Driver and partial wedge, very rarely did I have a full iron in.
I played as a single and was 'paired' with a 10 person Bachelor party group. They were split into foursomes but I was the random they stuck in the group. I wanted to play golf, not join a circus.
DON"T PAIR UP SINGLES WITH A BACHELOR PARTY!!!!
Fun Course
Bunkers are ponds of water but the grass isn’t dead. Overall not as bad as the other reviews make it out to be. Great track, really good conditions, and staff was way better than most other courses. I will be back.
Overpriced , Over watered
Don't play this course if you are on a golf trip from out of state , if it's your local public municipal you should pay 53 $ max , needs a ton of work , cart paths have pot holes, fairways and bunkers have standing water , greens are as hard as a pool table and the cart girls are driving in a dilapidated work vehicle, I have never seen a bev cart in this bad of shape , my next trip back to AZ if it was for free , I still would never play here again
Trash
Absolute trash, only way they get people to play here is the Scottsdale zip code. Evey. Single. Bunker has a pond inside of it, some fairways were flooded and others were dead and brown. There was not a single hole in good condition. Lay out is cool, staff is fine, hitting off of turf matts on the practice green in April is dumb though. Do not spend your money here unless its under $40.....
Greens
A couple greens were patchy.
Most the bunkers had water in them.
Hadn’t rained for a while.
Other than that very good experience.
