Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

Course was in rough shape. Greens were slow and bumpy, bunkers were hard packed and had standing water in them, big mud patches in the middle of the fairways, and were told by the starter right before our round that we were playing the front 9 of the palm course, and the back 9 of the pine course. None of this was mentioned upon booking or by the pro shop. Staff seemed annoyed that we were there. We paid $200 for two of us. With it being 115 degrees and the rough shape of the course, definitely not worth $100 a pop. I’m sure the course is great during prime conditions, but absolutely not worth playing over summer.

First no once of course having 9 holes on each side being shutdown. Major renovations with Jo notifications. Single who had to team up with two other singles and then fibaklynoass 4 frat bros playing in front who refused to acknowledge anyone elesnobbcourse and no granger to handle issue. Total course in bad condition whuu out would never ecommend this okace for the next two years as this will be going on for a long while. Off my list for a long time.

It would have been good to know we were playing on a modified setup. We played the back of Pine and front of Palm. Bunkers and greens were trash.

Unaware of construction all over the course. The back 9 of the Palm course is closed. The back 9 of Pine is not in good shape. Played before this time of year and was in much better condition.

McCormick Ranch is a great golf course. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing.

bunkers were filled with water. many dry and wet areas in fairway.

cart gal could have been friendlier

Massive renovation project on the front 9s of each of the two courses. Forced to play the back 9 of both so it was cool to see two different courses. However, there was no warning and it was a surprise to learn this while checking in for a pre- paid round.

The back nine of the Palms(?) course is under construction and they didn't tell us prior. Fairways not cut or outlined on back nine, nasty water in most bunkers, cones around greens marking off construction spots. Terrible for the price.

I can allow for construction and maintenance, but the course we played had greens that were burned or barren and the traps were absolutely pathetic. Could have troweled a slab in most, like concrete. Didn’t have to rake, couldn’t even leave a footprint. Gravel, not sand. Break your club if you try hit. One of my favorite courses, but full price for a course needing work was a bit unreasonable.

Paid $149 (reasonable rate for a nicer course in Scottsdale this time of year) to play the Pine course. When we got there I was informed by the bag attendant that half of one of the courses was shut down for renovations so we were going to sent to play the back 9 of both the palm and the pine course. When I told him we didn't want to do that, he said I should have called the clubhouse when setting up the tee time to let them know I wouldn't want to split the round between the two courses. Why would a customer assume that they are supposed to call to clarify that they want to play the course that they paid to play?

The course was in rough shape, the majority (more than half) of the bunkers on both courses had standing water and the greens on the pine course were pretty torched. Far more mud than you would typically see on a solid Scottsdale course.

The layout was cool and I'm sure when it's in good shape it's a fun course, but feels like an absolute rip off at this price point. Incredibly disappointed with the course and the experience.

Don't waste your money unless you're a brand new golfer and your only objective is to not lose a ball...like playing in a field.

Ducks swimming in swampy sand traps. Washouts, burnouts, large pot holes on cart paths. Standing water on fairways, slippery mud at tee boxes…greens as hard as concrete. Horrible signage, needs updating, painted, make it clear, no signs telling you what hole or yardage, GPS did not work for majority of our round. Young male staff all seem to have arrogant entitled attitudes. Such sarcasm…nothing warm or welcoming. Must be demonstrated and accepted by leadership at this goat farm. Nothing to be proud of gents.

Such a waste of money. Not what I expected rolling into the heart of Scottsdale golf courses.

The staff was very nice but things got off to a bad start. I had called earlier & ask about storing my bags b/c I was heading to the airport right after my round. I was told there was a secure area for my bags, but when I arrived I was told that wasn't the case & I had to leave my bags outside behind the cart barn.

The course was very dried out and the greens were like rocks. They need to put some water on the course. Pace was over 4 hours and nobody out there to move along slow groups. Overall I was very disappointed with the course and for what they charge I would not go back or recommend this course.

This Goat Ranch nestled in Scottsdales Ranch district leaves much to be desired. Poor course conditions will make you immediately regret the $140 greens fees & $10 beers. The friendly staff and free range balls are the courses only saving grace. Course should cost $50 at most.

Also witnessed a local patron walk off with an elderly woman's driver from the range.

The course and scenery were great! Was told the greens are fast. Great, I like fast greens. But they’re fast because they are still new. Very thin grass. Felt more like pressed dirt in spots
