Resorts at McCormick Ranch Scottsdale

Not sure what’s going on with the course this year, but it was a terrible condition. Lotta dead spots lotta standing water. Just everything was bad except the greens were really good.

Slow play - poor quality sand in bunkers - dirty golf carts - patchy fairways - poor condition cart paths - very noisy tournament on the adjacent Palm course. MR courses could be so much better as it is an ideal location in central Scottsdale which is a more upscale area.

Course is below average of courses in the area and price range.

Front 9 was fine. Back nine was in very rough shape.

The course itself looks pretty the greens are next to impossible to hold. I usually generate a decent amount of spin but most approach shots would bounce and roll an extra 30/40 feet. Fairways were eh. Overall would not recommended this course for the money

I have played the McCormick Ranch courses many times over the years. I like them both but Pine has less water and is more inviting for using the driver. These courses get a lot of play but the conditions were pretty good, the greens were fast. The only real complaint is the sand bunkers, some of which are like hitting out of the Walmart parking lot. Overall, these courses are always on my list when I am in Phoenix.

Too expensive and the speed of the greens was ridiculous. And, the course overdid its watering. There was standing water in most of the bunkers and the very moist fairways and rough were not conducive to amateur ball-striking.

The best part of the round was playing behind a 90-year old couple that the course apparently caters to for 9 holes on a regular basis, as we were told to not to get anywhere near them because of their slow play. So, we treated them like royalty.

5 hours 20 minutes takes some of the fun away. Wondering why the course ranger couldn't help. Not very considerate golfers ahead should be pushed or told to skip a hole or two. Many others out there were bummed too.

1hr to play a par 3 and a par 4, 10+min wait times on every single shot. Never again. BANNED

Front nine hard to tell how the holes are laid out. Even though the course was over seeded the fairway lies were bare. Way too much money for the conditions, but it’s Scottsdale winter golf.

The tee boxes were in rough shape. Sometimes the ground was hard enough to break a tee when teeing up a ball. The fairway were better, green and properly cut and trimmed. But some areas were as much weed as grass. The bunkers were the worst, hard packed with less than an inch of sand before hitting ground so hard it was like hitting a rock. Some of the "sand" felt more like gravel. On the good side the greens were smooth, fast, and well maintained.

Staff great, course conditions for the price , not a good

Overrated. Biggest complaint is the greens are rock hard and SUPER fast. Many times we hit the green and it bounces over. Fairways are extremely sparse, of grass. Ground so hard it was difficult to get tee in ground. IMO only reason it is popular is location, location, location.

I hit the green on at least four holes where the ball then rolled off into the water. The grass was very thin in most areas so be ready to hit off hardpan. On hole #9, I hit the island fairway and the balled rolled into the water.
