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.

Great course, tough greens

First time playing there and the course was in great shape. Pace was a little slow but no bother, finished in 4 hrs. Not an overly tough course until you three put every hole, lol. Had a good time, a little pricey but will play again.

🫤

The greens and pin locations reminded me of a mini golf course. Just needed the elephant trunk blocking my putts. You would putt it 6 feet up hill 2 inches from the hole and the putt would come back to you allowing a “second try”! It isn’t “sand” in the bunkers. The loose “dirt” in the bunkers isn’t deep enough. You have to play it almost like hard pan. Rest of the course was solid.

Very fun

This was fun course in the Scottsdale area. It had nice layouts with some over water shots. Greens were a challenging greens are fast but made for a good challenge. I will be back to play this course again.

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.
