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.

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.

This course is not worth the money

Fairways were bad, greens bad. This course is not worth the money. There is better courses to play in the area for less money. Half the greens are dead and fairways are in terrible shape.
