Goat track

Friendly staff, horrible course layout 14 trees and a few hills. Felt like playing in a bean field. Played twilight and was told full rate is near 175. Wouldn't pay 20 dollars to play again.

The whole package

This course offers the entire package...friendly courteous staff, great driving range and practice areas. Tough layouts and fast greens. Only misstep is the condition of the sand traps

Good and bad

Interesting playing here on pine course. Got a great deal on golfnow for first round with snow at home. Course had green fairways and dormant Bermuda rough as expected. Our foursome had a bad day on the greens because of speed (faster than practice green), slopes on greens ( better to be off the green below pin than above pin) and pin placements on knobs. One hole, I think 15, is borderline unfair with multiple water hazards in play on difficult shots. Dark blue pin flags often are difficult to see.

Good pace of play at just over 4 hours starting at 12:30. Just not my cup of tea for golf in the desert

McCormick Ranch golf Club

Groups out every 8 minutes. Crammed us in and the first nine was over 3 hours, absolutely painful. Back nine was respectable 2.15. I think a lot of people just left

Not worth the money

I know golf this time of year in February comes with the premium in Arizona. However, this course is definitely not worth $175 around. Fairways or marginal and greens were fair at best.

Course set up

Pace of play was slow and I blame that solely on the grounds keeper. The greens were rolling at around a 10 1/2-11 which is fast. They cut the fringe and collars real low. When we arrive at the par 3 7th hole might be the 8th, there were 3 groups waiting to hit. We waited 20 minutes before we hit. The pin was placed on a slope and the shot required all carry over water. From the white tees 150 yard shot to the pin. Any ball on the green that was putted all either rolled off the green in to the water or were stopped by one of the members in the group. One of the members in our group hit their tee shot to 10 feet left of the pin. He then hit his putt very lightly barely missing the cup and was heading in to the lake but someone stopped it or it to would have gone in the lake. The speed of the greens,undulations of the greens and cutting down of the fringe and collars around the greens caused for really slow play.

Palm course was in good shape but because of the rain storm the night before we had to deal with a lot of incidental water on the course, which may have contributed to slow play.

Staff were excellent, very friendly & helpful.

Pines Course Challenge

Course layout is deceiving. Fairways are very wide and player friendly. The greens are a real challenge depending on pin placements and are really quick if you are putting downhill. Course conditions are good, tees fairways and greens. Did not get a bad lie all day. Pace of play was great at 4hours 5 minutes teeing off at 10:00 am.

We played Palm course and liked it very much, our foursome had at least 5 shots on the green that ended up in the water. Greens too fast? Too much slope? First time at course?

Lovely!

From check-in to drop-off the staff was top notch. I had never played at McCormick and the staff was friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape. Greens were tough! Pace was pretty good ; folks behind us thought we should have been quicker - based on their balls running up on us - but we had someone ahead of us, too. 🤷🏼 Pro shop had a great selection, driving range was nice, chipping practice area and practice greens were great. The views were beautiful and we had a lovely time. We’ll be back!
