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.

Condition good
The day was enjoyable as course in good shape for this time of season although still cart path only Was able to easily play 18 although started after 1 pm Forgiving wide open course as we played front nine holes on each course Greens were not fast
Slow play
We played at 2pm and the pace of play was very slow. Course condition was great but some of the golfers playing left a lot to be desired. Heavily drinking playing very loud music and playing very slowly. We had to stop at 13th as pace was so slow. If playing would recommend the morning.
Nice Course
Fairways and greens are great. Bunkers are terrible.
First time
Wide open fairways so Bombers may enjoy it otherwise everything else is average and not worth $140.
Nice course
Had a good time. Played in 3:45. Will play there again.
Not worth the price
Upon arrival was told we would play the front of Pines and back of Palms. No problem. Course layout was fun and a good variety of holes. Greens were in pretty good condition with only 1 or 2 having spots that were burned out or no grass (at the end of a very hot summer, I get it). Pins were positioned away from these spots and they did not really affect play. There were however multiple holes with standing water (6-7 bunkers full of water) as well as multiple collars and green areas that were in very poor condition. Also, with 18 holes closed, couldn't figure out why they were digging up a part of 3 green that we had to play around (multiple people working while we played the hole).
I've played plenty of desert golf. This course was in the condition of somewhere I'm used to paying $60-70 for, not over 100. Overall fun course but conditions didn't meet price in my opinion.
Great!
Got there early for breakfast, food was amazing and the staff very friendly.
Because of seeding we played the front nine of Pines and the back nine of Palms. Course condition was very good.
Played under 111° F heat, certainly a challenge. But we enjoyed it 100%.
Overall a good course and value.
I believe this course was in good condition for the price we paid. I paid a similar price at a course a week before and the conditions of McCormick Ranch were so much better.
Eh
Fairways are nice and grassy, tee boxes and a few of the greens are pretty crappy. Standing water in almost every single bunker on the course.
