Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Dog track
Played during the busiest week of the year and paid a premium. You would figure they would have prepped for this event, but they definitely did not. Was brutal, wouldn’t pay $50 to play this dog track. Won’t be back ever.
Not great
Came down from Minnesota to play a little golf. This course did not impress like Estrella and Starfire.
Fairways seemed to be painted. Dead grass everywhere
Anything off the fairway was sand. Seemed like they ran the sprinklers all night and the course was just sloppy.
I did think the greens were really nice but that was about it.
Go play Estrella for a cheaper price and much better course conditions
Great couples course
I spent a bunch of time reading all the reviews and they were spot on.
A cold January made it a bit more challenging. The back nine on the pine course was the best part, layout was challenging and the greens were great. Tough putting!Make sure to spend some time practicing putting from above the hole as three putts are more common on the back nine. Stay below the hole on your approach!!!
We played with another couple and it was a good course for the ladies too.
Par for Average
We played the Pine course, which was OK. For the money, I would recommend the Palm course. Pine is OK if you can get a deal below $100 during winter.
The Pine course was average challenge and scenery. The rough was completely dry/yellow, which seems to be standard for the courses I played this week. The greens were in good shape and fast.
The carts lack basic technology, and that was disappointing for the fees you pay.
Always a good round @ McCormick Ranch
I play 1-2 times a week in the PHX area. As prices in season go absolutely nuts this is one course in the middle/upper middle price range that does not disappoint this time of year. There are many courses around town at this price point which are in terrible condition. Always a good nice experience here (regardless of how well I play).
Great greens
Overall it’s an ok course if you pay under $100.
Bunkers are ok, fairways are 7/10, greens 8.5 /10.
Tee boxes 5/10.
Great day of golf
Had a wonderful time at McCormick’s with my sons. The course was challenging but not ridiculous. It was well maintained and the staff was very friendly. And, played in less than 4 hours! Would definitely play again!
