Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

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.

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%.

The overall condition was much better than I expected for the 100+ weather. Actually, it was excellent. My only recommendation would be to have more sand in the traps, unless this is by design to keep the pace of play flowing.

I enjoyed playing McCormick Ranch. We played the back 9 of the Palm and Pine courses. Both were challenging with several water hazards and bunkers. My only complaint, and this to be at about every course I play at this time of the year in Arizona, is that the bunkers are mostly wet and there are puddles in the bunkers and around the courses. Being that water is a hot commodity in Arizona, I wonder why they don’t address this.

I will definitely come back and hopefully play the front 9’s of these great courses.

Booked through GOLFNOW at last minute and I understand why it was only course with available tee times in the morning. $170 for mediocre course is crazy. I would not recommend unless you find a deal under $60.

For $150, this is BY FAR the worst course in Scottsdale.

Ive wanted this course to be better for decades. Somehow its still dryed out and soaking wet at the same time! the sand is flooded with old water and yet cracked like an old lake bed.. that shows how many times its been filled with water, let sit, then not maintained.

The course has a distinct smell that one could describe as not just my golf game stinking.

The potential is there but the maintenance has never kept up with it.

Tried it again after several years and its like i never left. Its a pass at 57 a round and a do not play for winter rates..

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.

The course got hit with some crazy storm as they had many trees down. Because of this we have to play the back 9 of the palms and the back 9 of the pine courses, which was fine. I thought the course was in fine shape for the dead of summer. The staff a McCormick is always not the friendliest compared to other courses, but they had a beverage cart running all round.

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.

Course was in the worst shape I have ever seen it . I have played here over 100 times. The cart paths were like off roading, greens and fairways were already totally burnt out
