Fair course. Nice layout

Play this course a few years ago and liked it. I played it again today and seems to be in better shape than it was back then even. Very fair course and you can spray it around a little bit and still not lose balls. Lol.

Not fantastic for the rate

Course is OK shape, however for the cost compared to others similar, it is sub-par.

Greens very sandy and bumpy. Cart paths need repair. Fairways in average condition. Seems like course was over watered. Many sand traps were full of water and/or portions unplayable due to be muddy. If these are summer conditions, prices should be reduced and it should be mention on websites

Over Par

It's summer so I get that but very little grass on greens and lots of bare spots everywhere. Grass growing in the bunkers. it felt very much like kind of a run down muni. I was surprised though for being in the heart of Scottsdale, I expected more for the higher than it should have been green fee for summer. If you're local I felt like I was playing Encanto and after playing wished I would have been there for half the price. Best part was the practice area. Nice people but to many better courses in PHX to return to this one.

The greens were in terrible conditions. For 100.00 I would expect better.

Total Dog Track - Avoid This Course

I haven't played McCormick Ranch in a couple years, so I was excited to take my Dad out for a Father's Day round. Price for 18 was ~$118, which is a little steep for summer in Arizona but not wildly unreasonable, especially for a good course.

This, however, was the furthest thing from a good course. It was a total dog track, in terrible condition. They should've charged $30, not $118, and I still probably wouldn't have played it. Greens were in horrible shape (muddy and no grass in large spots). Fairways were hit or miss. In some places they were great, and in others they were extremely muddy, had no grass, or had giant holes in them. I literally lost my ball on the left side of a fairway because it was in a giant puddle that was so deep I had to use my club to fish for it. In the fairway, mind you.

Do not play here. There are 200+ courses in Arizona, probably 190 of which are better than this dog track.

Fairway Dirt

Awesome layout and staff was great. Lots of different holes. Fairways have lots of dirt on them in many areas. You pipe one 240-250 down the middle and expect to be in grass, not one clump of grass surrounded by dirt/mud. But that’s my only issue. Really good course.

Nice course with really good green

First time playing and was pleased with the course and will play again in the future. This was a fair layout with not a lot of trouble. There is water on the course not too dangerous except on a couple of long carries if you play the blue teas. I was very pleased with how well the greens held without a lot of roll out. They putted pretty true but there are a few "hidden" breaks that will be learned after playing a few rounds.

Beat

Afternoon weekday round in the summer heat so the pace was great. Greens rolled good. I thought the course was fine until the back 9. Absolutely trash second half. Hard pan dirt in tons of spots near greens and standing puddles on other holes. This course should be ashamed of price. It’s worth about $45 max only because the greens rolled fine.

This course used to be beautiful

I’ve got to say I was pretty embarrassed yesterday, it had been a while since I’ve played here but it was my go to for bringing clients for a long time. I spent all week singing your praises to my clients for me to look foolish after seeing the conditions of the greens, standing water on the edges of fairways and the condition of the “cart path” on the back 9 was ridiculous. And to top it off We didn’t see a beverage cart until we were done with our round. I’ve always had a lot of fun at your courses but Jeeze you guys need to turn it around.
