McCormick Ranch Golf

Not impressed with the conditions of the course for what they charge. We had a very slow 4 some holding us up most of the round.

The cart paths were rough, very little grass to speak of if you are off the fairway. Traps were mostly hard pan with little sand to play a soft bunker shot. I have played 8 different courses over the past few weeks and this was not in good shape compared to some of the others.

Old and worn

Here is the good:

All but 2 greens were great

Tee boxes in good shape

Fairways were fair.

Starter was a great person.

3 people I was paired with -excellent.

Now for the Ugly:

Bunker sand was non-existent. 1 to of 10

2 greens were not puttable. 0 out of 10

Cart girl made us walk to her- she was horrible. 0 out of 10.

Cart paths need significant repair. 4 out of 10.

They need to put some serious dollars into the bunkers and repairing the cart paths.

Lots of Water

Can't think of many courses with more water coming into play. Greens were perfect, but don't seem to break as much as you might think!

Mccormick Palm

I played the Palm course for the first time and was very disappointed in the condition of the course and fairways. The Mccormick was redoing several 9 hole areas. I paid 150.00 each for the round for 3 people. I feel because the condition of the course doesnt match the price I paid that i actually want my money back or 50 percent off each rate. The course condition was only worth $75.00 each. The next day i played a course in Sun City for half the price and the faiways were pristine.

First timer

I’m a 5 handicap and play a lot of golf so my expectations were high for the green fee paid. Course was a little rough around the edges, fairways were in ok shape, greens were hard and fast. The worst part was the bunkers, really unplayable as a hazard (mostly hard packed, dried mud) with a thin layer of sand. Pace of play was fine so overall not the best experience for the $. Foothills GC was better golfing experience.

The course was wet

The course has too much water standing around that made it difficult to find a good spot to take relief. The cart paths are in very poor condition. Time for the course to get updated. This course is nothing like it was 10 years ago. Might not come back for awhile.

Fun Track

Pretty challenging course with more water than most others we played. Think they're in the middle of an improvement project and excited to come back and check it out once they're done. Hole 15 is tricky.

Goid bones but lousy condition

Very expensive for a course in bad shape

Bunkers bad with puddles in them

Cart paths terrible

Many grassless dirt areas to hit off of

We paid $320 for the two of us

Not a fair price

Also a 5 hour round which is terrible!

Course Overrated

I purchased this golf round at a significant discount. Based on the condition of the fairways, greens, and sand traps, I was lucky to get the discount. The course is way overrated to pay the usual fee of $150. I would spend my money elsewhere before playing this course again.

Pace of Play

Pace of play was good at first but then came to a halt. Public urination occurred in front of us while waiting to tee off. We left after playing nine

Blech

Massive disappointment. This course is never in even average shape, but it's at a low in my experience. Mud on every hole, burned out rough, some greens borderline unplayable. Sooo many better options nearby. Avoid.

Fun day with the girls

Fun track with great views. Super close to our hotel. This place was less expensive than some of the other courses we played last week in Scottsdale, but just as challenging. Staff was really friendly. Excited to try the other 18 when we return to Scottsdale in the future.
