Palm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
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
Average course
The golf attendant that sent us off the first tee made it sound like it was the best course in Arizona. We were really looking forward to golfing it. Obviously the guy has never golfed another golf course in the area. It was okay. Greens were slow. Fairways were maintained well, pro shop was nice with a good selection of merchandise and friendly staff. I will probably never golf it again. Definitely better courses in the area for the money.
Great greens
The overall course is average. Barely any sand in the bunkers and the fairways are kind of beat up and burned out. Could just be the time of year. Looking forward to seeing it in another 1-2 months. The greens are the best part…firm but hold shots and not lighting fast but fast enough.
Disappointed
Disappointed. Overpriced. Poor condition, except for the greens which were smooth and fast. Tee boxes and a lot of the fairways were low cut weeds, not smooth grass. Bunkers were inconsistent, some with very little sand, some with a lot of rocks, one with putrid puddles. This was the Palm Course. Good friendly service by staff. Good practice area. A large (not jumbo) bucket cost $17. I've played courses in this condition that cost $25.

Average public course
The course was in okay shape after a hot summer. We played the first 6 holes at a good pace, but then waited on every hole after that. It wouldn’t take the staff much of an effort to figure out what group was holding up the course and ask them to skip a hole. That would keep the course moving for everyone else. When paying a $200 greens fee, I would expect some waters in the cart and a towel to clean clubs and golf ball (when preparing to putt). Little things, but that takes this course to the next level.
Palm Course
Enjoyed the course. They started us a few minutes early and we played the first 5 holes at a good pace and then had to wait on most holes. We were a foursome and Somme a few groups ahead of us had the course backed up. No effort to discover the backup and move players along. Course was in good shape and fun/fair to play.
Palm is a good layout
Like this old park course - good views of mountains, but a little pricey. Maintenance needs to trim grass around the edges of the bunkers.
Starter was surley and really made me and my guest feel like he was doing me a favor by letting me and my guest on the course.. I had guest from Ohio here and will never play this course agsain because of the attiftude exhibited by the starter. He really was the worst from the beginning of the round and even when we left.he was so bad I refused to tip him whcjh i never have done at any course. We followed a team compettion from Suguaro H.S.. which was no problem at all but the guy that was the starter was just the most rude person I have ewver encountered on a golf course.
Very nice course, great staff, lots of extras
We like McCormick Ranch Palm and it's a course we play every time we come to Scottsdale. The folks here are super friendly and helpful, and I like that the range balls and cart are included so it's all inclusive. They're always improving the course, too. Highly recommend.
Nice course but …
The layout of these 2 courses is very good. No 2 holes feel the same. Only complaint is the greens are pretty slow and the green side sand traps are poorly maintained. Packed hard … the need to be sifted
