Not up to scratch

The course conditions were horrible. The sand traps were completely full of water. We have taken the golf course our future list of golf courses to play.

Mudball Ranch

They're over-watering the course, trying to shock the turf back to life. As a result, balls picked up mud in fairways every time. Bunkers were filled with water! Great land, shabby course. Needs to be totally refurbished.

Just okay

We play frequently at McCormick Ranch and we are always tentative about playing there. After our round yesterday on the Palm Course I don't think we will be back...unless there are no other reasonable alternatives.

low cost golf

Low cost for Scottsdale but still high for most people. Worth a visit but not exceptional.

Rye grass was non-existent but the real issue was NO SAND in the bunkers …

Nice Course but then it turned in to Clown Town.

The course and conditions were great. It could use more shade in areas where you typically park carts. Course from whites was on the short side, lots of Par 4's in the 350-370 range, which means Driver and partial wedge, very rarely did I have a full iron in.

I played as a single and was 'paired' with a 10 person Bachelor party group. They were split into foursomes but I was the random they stuck in the group. I wanted to play golf, not join a circus.

DON"T PAIR UP SINGLES WITH A BACHELOR PARTY!!!!

Good course

Pace was good, turf conditions were as expected for late spring overseed. Transitioning to summer turf with low temperatures is always challenging. Should be real good by late May. Staff is always professional and personable.

Fun Course

Bunkers are ponds of water but the grass isn’t dead. Overall not as bad as the other reviews make it out to be. Great track, really good conditions, and staff was way better than most other courses. I will be back.

Overpriced , Over watered

Don't play this course if you are on a golf trip from out of state , if it's your local public municipal you should pay 53 $ max , needs a ton of work , cart paths have pot holes, fairways and bunkers have standing water , greens are as hard as a pool table and the cart girls are driving in a dilapidated work vehicle, I have never seen a bev cart in this bad of shape , my next trip back to AZ if it was for free , I still would never play here again

Trash

Absolute trash, only way they get people to play here is the Scottsdale zip code. Evey. Single. Bunker has a pond inside of it, some fairways were flooded and others were dead and brown. There was not a single hole in good condition. Lay out is cool, staff is fine, hitting off of turf matts on the practice green in April is dumb though. Do not spend your money here unless its under $40.....

Greens

A couple greens were patchy.

Most the bunkers had water in them.

Hadn’t rained for a while.

Other than that very good experience.
