Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
McCormick Ranch Golf Club features two lush manicured year-round courses amid the lovely views of Scottsdale. Both the Palm and Pine golf courses' championship tees lay to over 7,000 yards, and there are also the options of men's, seniors' and ladies' tee sets to allow everyone a crack at the tests offered by these golf courses.
Golf Illustrated selected the ninth hole of the Palm Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club to be "One of the USA's Top 18 Water Holes." It's just one of 10 water holes on the golf course, which, as you might imagine, also features lots of big palms. In all, the golf course plays to over yards from the blue tees, including four par-5 holes that measure over 500 yards.
A round of golf on the Palm Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club kicks off on the par-4 first hole, which plays close to 400 yards from the blue tee and requires a drive right-center to ensure a short-iron second shot.

Palm Course - McCormick Ranch Photo submitted by tainge on 03/29/2013
Not Great
Nice staff.
Way overpriced. Course dry. Like hitting off dirt in lots of places. Sand minimal in bunkers.
Terrible value. Would not go back
Good time at McCormick
Played twilight golf ..friendly starter ..
At the turn another gentlemen was very helpful
guiding us for the last 4 holes
Slow play - find another course
The course was completely backed up and play was extremely slow….9 holes took nearly 3 hours. They appear to be booking times too close and I didn’t see anyone monitoring the pace of play of players. For the money, this was extremely disappointing.
Course was over priced
Layout was easy so they tricked up the greens
Fairways were beat upon the back 9.
Round of golf should be no more $100
McCormack surprise
I played this course 5 years ago and swore I would never play it again. But I did and I was pleasantly surprised. Tee to green, the course was in great shape.
McCormick Ranch Pleases
Playing this golf course for the first time made for fun on a course that is certainly maintained and looked after. Pro shop pros were friendly, starter was friendly and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely will play it again.
Poor course conditions
To pay 240 for a course like this is a complete joke. Maybe 80 bucks. The starter told us it was cart path only and in great condition. Gotta love being lied to. Course was in very bad shape. Every hole had a bad tee box Along with mud and water in every fairway. Talked to the pro shop after about the conditions and they blamed it on the rain and people not using the cart path. The conditions are past that. Don’t waste your money here.

Course was OK.
We played on a February day with temps in the mid 60s and rain threatening, so not ideal. The Palm course was in OK shape but off the fairways some holes were in pretty tough condition particularly on the back nine. We had a group of extreme novices ahead of us who had neither skill or knowledge of golf etiquette. The marshall was very help full in dealing with this but it was a bit aggravating at times. All interaction with course staff was very pleasant, professional and helpful. In the circumstances at this price level the absence of a rain check was a bit concerning, but ultimately not an issue. On balance I would say the price was about $30.00 high for what the course delivered.
Course conditioning was poor compared to last year which influenced our rating. Staff, however, were attentive and customer oriented. Positives for them. Alex
Central Location
Very very average. If you are wanting be a tier 1 golf course, then need to look at the little details, like providing a towel, water, divot repair tool,
