Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

Terrific course. Challenging but not unbearable.

Really really enjoyed playing the course

I played with a lady from my Minnesota club and we were paired with an older couple. They played good golf and we finished our round in 3 hours and 45 minutes. We all had a nice time.

nice course, best value for the money I found so far in Arizona, I would defiantly play this course again

Truthfully, I hardly ever dislike a golf course. I know it takes an extreme amount of money, effort, and manpower. The day we played, the greens were unplayable. The architecture and hardness of the greens was the problem. More than half of them were tilted at such a severe angle, for one thing, but the surfaces were as hard as concrete. Throwing a pitching wedge 80 feet in the air, then having the ball bounce, with no divot, and roll off the back, or worse, roll to the back and circle around to roll off the front get old. One of our group is a solid 2 index, and shot an extremely frustrating 90! He was exasperated. Imagine how us 13-ers felt? It was also a bit boring, with not much elevation or variation.

Nice course. Organized from bag drop to 18th hole

Frost delay caused problems with delay of tee times

Nothing special. If you are desperate to play Scottsdale in January it’ll do. Over priced, slow play (5 hours), fair course conditions, but you can get out.

$150 is pricey for this track but I suppose If you play in the winter that’s what you expect. Nice course, well maintained but it’s very beginner friendly and pace of play reflects that.

Way too many totally grass less areas of hard pan. Most were in play. 100’s of unfilled divots and ball marks on the greens. Several unrated traps.

Loved this course (especially Pine) 20 years ago.

While the course needs capital improvements such as new cart paths and bunkers, that was not the main issue.

Our 1240 tee time on in Thursday went off late around 110 pm. We waited on every drive and approach and finished at dark at 605 pm.

They had an Asher Tour event in the morning and the pros, understandably, take longer to play. When you book the amateurs directly behind the pros and tee times are 8 minutes apart, you are going to have a 5 hour day. The pins were left in the hardest position on most greens that the pros played.

These courses could be good again but it feels like packing players in is more important that making the experience enjoyable.

On the upside, the staff is friendly and 16 on Pine is a fantastic par four
