Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

A nice golf course that is in need of a little more maintenance. We had a 6-some ahead of us, which slowed things down a bit, at some point, they broke into a 4some and a 2some; not sure if that was their idea or the Marshalls but either way it worked better after that.

I would play here again, but I would hope that the maintenance would improve somewhat

The ‘new’ pine is front 9 of ‘old’ pine and palm. The front 9 were in rough conditions - on the 3 rd hole I had better lie in the rough then my friend had in the fairway. Back 9 was in good shape.

With the amount of great golf in this area, this place is an absolute miss.

I booked an 8:30am Friday round as a single and got thrown into a 9-person bachelor party—most of whom clearly didn’t golf. I was stuck in the last twosome behind two foursomes that got louder, slower, and more out of control with every hole. The course backed up completely, and there wasn’t a ranger anywhere to manage it.

By the time we reached the 9th hole on Pine (our 18th after being rerouted), the entire group decided to play the hole together as a 10-some. That’s not a slight delay—that’s a complete breakdown of course management.

I tried to hang back and finish with the annoyed twosome behind us, but we all walked off when balls started flying everywhere. At that point, it wasn’t just slow—it was insulting.

There’s too much good golf in Scottsdale to deal with this level of chaos. At $180, this isn’t just disappointing—it’s a joke. Stay away.

Greens and sandtraps in great shape. Fairways not lush for this time of year.

The fairways and greens are slightly damaged, however the environment is excellent.

Paid for Palm ended up paying the back 9 of Palm then back 9 of pine. Palm was in terrible condition. I’ve seen better building sites than the greens.. bunkers overgrown…. Lots of dry areas. They should be paying you to play not the way around. The pine back 9 was way better.

Next the staff… we got there early and asked if we could tee off early….”NO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOUR TE TIME..we tried asked at the pro shop and the starter, same answer… we ended up waiting at the rear of the first tee for 30 mins with no one teeing. off… the starter just made us wait… !!”

Golfed here many times. Not in very good shape plenty of brown spots including the greens. I have not seen the course in this shape. Water in the sand traps. Sand traps are like cement.

Played the back Palm and Pine course. The Palm was in really bad shape with tons of mud holes that smell like sewage and greens with so much sand or bare spots on them, they looked like they had bunkers on the greens. None of the bunks had sand and was like hitting off concrete. If you are spending more than $50-$60 to play 18, find another course.

Well you asked.

The cart path was nearly as smooth as an off road buggy course. Pot holes everywhere... Take a few yards of gravel and fill them in or better yet repave some of the

The fairways were in fair shape. Places where there was no grass at all -- seriously no grass.

The bunkers were worse... Many had up to 3 inches of water... None were in good enough to chip out of - to hard. Adjust your sprinklers. 2 or three days you could dial it in... Tells me no effort by ground crew or staff by not seeing this blatant lack of attention .

Some of the greens were infected and you can't see if they are trying to fix it

I signed up for the Palm Course... I asked to play a couple of specific holes. But we were told when we got there we were playing the back nine of two different courses... Who does that? Two different courses rather than one course for 18 holes... Was the back side not in good enough shape to play?

For the money we paid I assumed it would be a professional course...

To be honest I have seen better grass at community soccer fields.. they don't charge $160 to play.

If I could get my funds back and offered a free round I think I would take my money to talking Stick ... Similar cost. Within in a couple of miles. And vastly better condition.

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.

It’s just a course that time has passed by. It feels like you’re playing on a course that somebody’s paid no attention to for a long time. There are potholes filled with water and mud all over the course. The bunkers are unplayable because they’re filled with water. I understand that they’re going through a renovation. I played the two unrenovated 9s.. That construction can’t start soon enough.

Course has possibilities, but very run down, cart paths a mess, poorly kept grass, and bunkers are a joke (dirt) Clearly there has been little money place in upkeep and that is sad because the layout could make it really good....we won't play there again unless the course is updated..
