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.

Fairways not in good condition. Dried out. Areas of no grass. Nice views and scenery. Starter not friendly. Staff inside not friendly.
Nice Round
Greens and sandtraps in great shape. Fairways not lush for this time of year.
My opinion
The fairways and greens are slightly damaged, however the environment is excellent.
Courses under repair
Played front nine of pine then front nine of palm.while Courses under repair. Temps too hot for driving range practice balls. Golf shop always has a super great selection of clothes.
Front 9s only
Playing the front 9s only was not good, they put a rider in the cart with me that was a total stranger! Not good!!
Great pace, good value, good shape
I was pleasantly surprised playing this course again after a few years away. Even with a crowded course of foursomes, we completed our round in just about 4:15; a friendly marshal kept things moving. Good course conditions for the end of winter, good sand in the traps, and the greens rolled fair at a reasonable slope. A good time was had by all, and I will be back. I’m not sure why they had us play the front nine on both courses (others played the back nines, so they were all in play,) but that meant I had to record the round as two 9-hole rounds. Not a big deal, just curious.
Resort Course With Lots of Play
The staff was friendly and accommodating. The starters and rangers are retired guys looking for free golf and really did not do much to maintain the pace of play. I fould the greens to be fairly quick. The holes are fairly close to each other so stay alert. I just missed getting hit without warning.
Due to the volume of play, the conditions reflected it. I did book through GolfNow which made it a good bang for the buck.
Lots of Water
Can't think of many courses with more water coming into play. Greens were perfect, but don't seem to break as much as you might think!
Course Overrated
I purchased this golf round at a significant discount. Based on the condition of the fairways, greens, and sand traps, I was lucky to get the discount. The course is way overrated to pay the usual fee of $150. I would spend my money elsewhere before playing this course again.
Ultra firm fast tiered greens
Played Front 9 of both courses!? Play was slow probably because of the difficult greens.
