Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

This course has always been one of my favorites in Scottsdale. Great location, courteous staff, good course layout, challenging enough and beautiful wildlife!!! Prettiest sunset views! They are undergoing a renovation and so they are flexible with how to get your best 9 or 18 holes in.

Played the Palm course. The greens are in nice condition. It's a challenging course with a bunker or two around the greens. The fairways were okay for the time of year--better than most other courses. It was nice to get range balls included with the price of golf.

They've done a ton of work, which is still happening. The holes where the work has been completed are in terrible shape. Standing water in bunkers, good portion of the greens have large dead spots. Don't play during the week in the afternoon, only one 9 will be open so you'll just have to play that twice to get 18 in. There is no value here. Don't make a teatime unless you actually talk to somebody in the clubhouse because they have a scheduling service that has no idea what course is open. We've been playing this golf course for over 40 years, it's hard to watch it fade.

The front 9 of the Palm course was in good shape with well manicured greens and decent fairways. The cart path was atrocious! Full of pot holes and cracks. The greens on the back 9 had large areas of dirt or dying grass. The cart paths were even worse and driving on the fairway was almost as rough.

This is a classic gem of a course located in the heart of Scottsdale. Whenever it’s a special occasion or my family wants to play — this is overall a great spot! Courteous staff, good locale, medium level of difficulty, beautiful wildlife in the eagles and prettiest sunset.

This course has it all — courteous staff, great location, good course layout, medium level of difficulty, beautiful eagles to see and overall a nice golf outing with my family!!

Paid full cost to play The Pine course on golf now. Just to get to golf course and find out that both The Palms and The Pines courses back nines are under renovation. So had to play both front nines. Still nice course but really wanted to play the full 18 holes at The Pines.

Just had fun after not playing and practicing for 2-3 weeks. Bermuda is coming in even without consistent 100 degree weather. Got paired with 3 randoms and I had a blast. I shot two under par. Just had fun worked on my game and enjoyed the summer day! About 95 degrees and a little breeze. Course is not in bad shape to start the summer season. Greens are maybe a 10. Just a tad slow but they will be rolling faster soon with time.

We played three other courses on this trip for lesser amount that were by far in much better shape.

This course is in such poor condition I felt like an idiot for falling for their scam. You’re a complete sucker if you play their back nines and they do nothing about the complaints. The customer service is very poor. Mud balls, casual water and mud everywhere. Many of the greens are diseased. But hey, here’s two positives: the few greens that were not diseased were fun to putt. Cart girl was absolute smoke show!!! I felt bad for her having to work in such poor conditions. This course is a mid tier muni at best. I can’t reiterate how poor the customer service was addressing my dissatisfaction. Do Not play this course!!! It is also deliberately unclear when you reserve your tee time if you are reserving the front nines or back nines. I thought I was reserving the fronts…I think it’s deliberately vague.

Still water in bunkers and water puddles that swallow your golf ball all over the course. Plus it was advertised as the Palm course, but noooo, the starter told me that what I got thru golf now was the back nine on the Palms and the back nine on the Pine course. These are two completely separate coursed! This is almost criminal. Never ever will I step foot on those swampy grounds

The course is in awful condition. I have not played a course in worse condition and I have played some terrible courses. The fairways are crab grass, where it isn't dirt. The greens are diseased and unplayable. There was group of 5 in front of us, with multiple children taking 20+ swings per hole. I'm all for kids playing and having fun, but the rangers should have discussed pace of play with the adults in the group. We left after 9 holes, complete waste of time and money.

Decent round of golf at a price below their normal levels. I wouldn't pay more than $90 for this course. Pace of play was good and other golfers were nice. Staff at check in and at the carts didn't seem to have customer service skills. We smiled and thanked them but no replies. Makes you wonder if they are unhappy in general or with you.
