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.

OK

Greens very tough and true. They need to repave the cart path all of the way through. The bunkers don't drain great! Some leftover sprinkler water. Tee boxes not great. Fairways good. Staff friendly. Just not worth the $$ I paid for it.

Without a Doubt the worst Course I have ever played!

Our experience on Friday was “less than par’ for a number of reasons.

We were unable to finish our round due to the slow play of the foursome two groups ahead of us. I am almost positive they were playing for the “Green Jacket” or at least they thought they were, Hand bumping, removing and replacing the flag multiple times. Sadly there were three groups behind us that wouldn’t finish their rounds either. Not sure where the course marshal/marshals were but we did not see one our entire round.

This is not the worst thing that happened. On the 11 the 11th. hole one of the fellows we were paired with hit a goose in the chest/neck off the tee box.

The goose fluttered about unable to raise its head.

The fellow called the proshop and advised as to what had happened. Their response, a negligent one I might add was, “this happens all the time and someone will eat well tonight”. I am not sure the onerous that followed us appreciated seeing a suffering or possibly dead goose between the white and brown tee boxes. Not a class act.

SLOOOOW

8:24 t time, very slow. Over 4 1/2 hours. All the fairways were very wet from watering, several plugged balls, almost all green side bunkers had water in them from watering. Greens were fast so that was nice. Would have been more enjoyable if it wasn’t so darn slow. Unusual for that early in the morning.

Over 5 hour round

The restaurant and staff. Top notch. That was the highlight of the day. Breakfast and. Lunch.

Average course with average conditions. Worst paved cart paths I have ever seen

Longest round I have played in 5 trips to Phoenix. Played the course because it was close to hotel.

There are better tracks and better experiences.

Not accommodating.

Pace of play was terrible. Got behind a group of 6 and Marshall had to break it up through hole 7. At the turn ran into a foursome with two other watching. Was not enjoyable. Better courses for the price.

Not Quite There

While the course has a challenging layout, the course conditions exacerbated making decent shots. There was a lot of water on the course, with the traps being more like mud depressions. Many landing areas were so soft, the ball would become plugged. The greens were in fairly decent condition, with a pretty consistent roll from green to green. The clubhouse was very nice and employees courteous and professional.

Great course. Not a great value for the money

Played on a Saturday morning and was the first tee time off. The course was very very wet and in some spots unplayable. I believe if the price for 18 was $50-$75 less I would have no complaint but for what it’s currently priced it did not seem worth it. Will return and play again when I am town.
