Played McCormick Ranch in 2021 and really enjoyed it. My brother lives locally (but doesn’t golf) and joined me for the round as an observer.

This year I booked a tee time and my brother wanted to ride along. As we prepared for the round, I was told that my brother would have to pay a non-player fee. The employee said it would be $29. When my brother went to the Pro shop to pay, he was told that it would be $49 plus tax, just to sit in a golf cart.

Needless to said, I was shocked and will not be playing McCormick Ranch in the future.

Challenging, Busy Course

The course was in good shape but was a little overgrown since they were coming off overseeding. No putting green to practice on. They also bumped our tee time back without notifying the group until check-in. The worst part was the pace of play. Took 5 hours to complete the round.

McCormack Ranch

The Pine course is very wide open course. The greens when I played were in rough shape… slow and bumpy.

Great Course Condition

Was visiting from NJ and got a good deal on Golf Now. The course was in great shape after the overseeing was completed. Greens were in good shape but not overly fast. Fairways beautiful. Would recommend.

Excellent golf course and facilities.

I come over from the UK every year for 3/4 weeks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The course is lovely. My only observation is that the bunkers should have softer sand. Otherwise the course was excellent. Looking forward to playing again.

Brutal greens but a lot of fun

Beautiful course, and harder than the USGA seems to credit it for being. I’m a mediocre golfer and found my share of fairway hazards on a few holes as a first timer playing there. Everyone had trouble on the greens - even 2 members we played with. But it was a lot of fun, warm up facilities terrific, staff nice. One of my favorite courses yet. We played Ambiente day before and both of us preferred this course.
