Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

To pay 240 for a course like this is a complete joke. Maybe 80 bucks. The starter told us it was cart path only and in great condition. Gotta love being lied to. Course was in very bad shape. Every hole had a bad tee box Along with mud and water in every fairway. Talked to the pro shop after about the conditions and they blamed it on the rain and people not using the cart path. The conditions are past that. Don’t waste your money here.

Really enjoyed playing 18 holes on the Pines McCormick Ranch. We teed off just after noon and were able to easily get in all holes at our pace before dark. We were paired with another twosome and enjoyed their company as well. Our pace finished us after 4hrs 15min. We never were pushed and only a few holes waited a bit for the foursome in front of us. It was cart path only the day we went and understandably so as it had rained quit a bit the day before. There were only a few wet areas throughout the course but very manageable to handle without shoes getting wet. The views were amazing all around the Pines Course and the staff excellent. Driving range, chipping area and putting practice grounds well kept. The fairways and greens in really good shape. All in all a wonderful place to experience 18 holes of golf with medium challenge to each hole for a 18.6 GHIN player. I just thought the price was high but would recommend it for a once in lifetime go to place to play.

I have played better courses in Scottsdale. The layout is fine, but there is a lot of desert grass in the fairways. And I sweat they paint their grass green. Paint was on my ball. It's a long ball hitters course, I don't hit that far so it seemed a little harder for me. Like I said it's OK

We played on a February day with temps in the mid 60s and rain threatening, so not ideal. The Palm course was in OK shape but off the fairways some holes were in pretty tough condition particularly on the back nine. We had a group of extreme novices ahead of us who had neither skill or knowledge of golf etiquette. The marshall was very help full in dealing with this but it was a bit aggravating at times. All interaction with course staff was very pleasant, professional and helpful. In the circumstances at this price level the absence of a rain check was a bit concerning, but ultimately not an issue. On balance I would say the price was about $30.00 high for what the course delivered.

Very very average. If you are wanting be a tier 1 golf course, then need to look at the little details, like providing a towel, water, divot repair tool,

Course conditioning was poor compared to last year which influenced our rating. Staff, however, were attentive and customer oriented. Positives for them. Alex

The greens were very quick. The layout was very good.

Wide open course. Not desert course at all. Crazy greens where ball would roll off the green and in to water, no reason for them to be so punitive. Also. We waited on every hole after number four

. Close to a5 hours round..An extra 30 bucks, gets you a much better round of golf elsewhere in scottsdale area

The course was great and the staff was very friendly. I was bummed the restaurant was closed and only serving beverages.

Everything about the course was really great and the views were amazing. I got a 20% off hit deals rate , so the course met the expectation and was priced right.

Arriving 1.5 hours before my tee time for a lite lunch, range time, I went to get my bag from the Caddyshack to find out they were put onto a different cart who had gone out with someone else. What’s the point to trust them with your stuff if they can’t coordinate names to tee times. Course Rangers did little to no reminders to groups who were holding two groups behind them which included us. A group behind us were aggravate at us taking too long, yet the group ahead were not even 1/4 of the way down the fairway in front each time we tee’d up. Pace of play averaged 4hrs 15mins. Tee box conditions were loaded with unprepared divots making it hard to find a good piece of turf. Not too many water stops along the course. Soft Fairways, Fast Greens. Front 9 = Average golfer friendly / Back 9 = tests Intermediary Golfer.

Beautiful and challenging course but the pace was extremely slow.

The fairways were nice and greens were quick and smooth. The slopes of the greens made it important to make sure birdie puts were uphill. Enjoyed the back side more than the front as the is flat and fairly wide open with very few trees. The back has more character with more trees, rolling terrain and is more scenic. Overall for what you get for your $, would rather pay more for a better quality course.
