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
Somehow expensive
The layout is fine, not that challenging. Expensive for the conditions of the course, not well signaled and staff seems to be bored and going thru the motions.
Rough???
Absolutely no rough or even any sort of grsss around the greens and fairways. Mostly hardpan. Course could be ok if they work on that but it makes it look so bad without it.
5 some in front of us slowed play down
Fine not memorable
Municipal-type course. Fairways were in great shape -lush and green. Off the fairways were sometimes sparse. Very playable and generous course. Greens were fine. Lots of ball marks but they were healed and didn’t really affect the putts. We played behind a group that must have been playing for $1,000,000 given the time spent reading greens after every missed putt and 150 yard drives. As we went down the 11th and 12th fairway there was no one on the next three holes yet the course ranger just smiled and waved rather then encouraging the group to catch up. Luckily I was paired up with a great twosome that I could talk to for five or more minutes each shot waiting for the group. 12 handicap.
Great round of golf with friends!
McCormick Pine has always been a good choice for a nice, challenging round of golf on a park style golf course. IT was a rare afternoon round, but the pace of play was surprisingly good. It also helped that it was a gorgeous day!
Value Play
For this time of year, when could some end north of $300 a round to play Scottsdale golf, this round was less than 100 bucks, greens and bunkers well maintained and pro shop/course staff with excellent customer service.
Good course
This is a good course for the money. Not the same caliber of some courses but good for a nice round of golf. Rough was dried out. Greens were nice but firm. Fairways are very good.
Great day for golf
Enjoyed my first round at McCormick Ranch - Pines course. Course was in good condition. Well laid out with trees, water, sand, etc. Will come back to play the Palms course.
AMBIVALENT STAFF
Staff was not very helpful in providing initial bag drop service to carts and acted like they really did not want to be there. Hole #9 was very difficult to play as the fairway was littered with astray balls from the driving range. Certainly someone could have cleaned up this fairway.
Slow play
A nice parkland-type course with enough water to keep things interesting. On the day we played the pace was bad...5-plus hours. The course isn’t that hard for the pace to be so slow.
It Was Fine
Course was fine. Nothing special. Took the kids and very forgiving for all types.
It was fine
Took the kids to play. It was fine..not great but forgiving for all ages.
Good value
Better than expected. Played with wife and another couple. Pine course is a Parkland type course. Course length fit my game/expectations. Ladies length was good on most holes but too long on some.
Decent Course
Good, very playable course.
Bunkers very inconsistent but it had rained earlier.
Not my favorite but for a good deal would return
Lower prices that other courses
The Pine course was not in top condition due to recent cold and wet weather. This is a well designed course with complex greens and bunkers. The rough was dormant grass that had been damaged by carts during wet conditions. I woukd like to play this course when it iscin better shape.
Disappointed in the course conditions
I have played these two courses numerous times since they were first built. I was very disappointed by the condition of the rough and the sand traps. There was little to no grass in many areas of the rough. If you missed the fairway by a foot, you were often hitting off from hard dirt. The sand traps were poor, with several containing very little dirt/sand. I had a discounted price for my tee time. I would not pay full price this time of year to play these courses again.
