Conditions need some serious upgrades

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.

Not good.

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.

McCormick Ranch

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..

Very Disappointing

Definitely not worth the money as the greens were in terrible shape and rough was muddy and unplayable since they haven’t been maintained. Had to play both back 9s and was very disappointed given the cost. Do not recommend

Thanks

We played both backs. This course features holes that are more interesting than most of the courses we played in Scottsdale. Want to give a special shoutout to Carl in the Service Area who helped save our day when I left a wedge behind. Thank you Carl!

Not great

Most staff friendly but only seen Bev cart once on a 100+ degree day which left bad taste in my mouth (pardon the pun)

Some sort of Mould or rot in couple of greens

Fairway conditions not bad but not great

Club facilities were very nice

Paid $245 for two players which would have been alright if course conditions were better but not under current conditions

Good Time

This place was less than five minutes from our hotel. Pace was pretty good considering the time of year. Donated plenty of balls to the water. #15 is very challenging.

Nice

Very hot today and lots of puddles which were probably necessary to keep the course green. Water in bunkers. The Marshalls were very helpful and friendly! 😎

3 PM Start

Overall, the course was good. Some of the greens were in poor shape. The Marshall made several appearances during our round, however, a group of 6 golfers (3 carts) out of nowhere, jumped ahead of us on 17 (we we're a twosome playing much faster) and we had to wait for them while they chipped and putted (they were not good). The Marshall saw them and just watched, while we decided to skip 17. The Marshall did nothing.

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.

Horrible

For $180 I shouldn't have dirt greens, un cut boxes, and no rough. I got lots of pot holes on cart path. It was tge only consistency the course had was bad cart paths. Do not play here.
