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
Not good
220 a round and the course is so mediocre. Even w all the rain there’s hardly any grass in Faris ways . Greens are hard and fast and don’t hold . Second 9 took 245 brutal . Won’t play again. But they do have a nice proactice set up
It had rained so not good
Maybe my review would be different but had actually rain night before so made the course waterlogged. The staff were more interested in what was on their phones then customers and bag area was unattended, over all course nice track but super fast greens more so than other course we played in the 2 weeks we were there and everyone of the holes were on the spine of the greens. Maybe to protect because of wetness and cart path only made for a very long day .
Pond Course
They said lots of water. They were not kidding. Great course and challenging but had a great time. Course is beautiful and very well maintained.
Great course and staff
Beautiful course, well maintained and excellent staff! They made accommodations to arrange a last minute add to our tee group so that we were able to include someone else in our group. The club rentals were fantastic. We will definitely play this course again while in town. Great value - great course!
Course doesn’t look as good as pictures
I was just not that impressed for what you pay to play there
Very enjoyable round, it's always one of my favorite rounds when I'm in the area.
Review
The course condition was average. The pin positions were borderline unfair. Staff could do better. Starters are best part of staff.
Beyond HORRIBLE
Where do I begin? Sand traps full of water, fairways with potholes, mud holes, standing water pretty much everywhere, not to mention the smell from the stagnant water in all of the holes was disgusting. Goose crap throughout, and bald spots on fairways and greens as well. Way overpriced. Not a $210 golf course. I wouldn’t even pay $50 for this pasture. Obviously no money is put back into the course so if I were the superintendent I would be extremely embarrassed. Anyone considering to play this course, save your money, you would be better off playing elsewhere. Never be back EVER, even if it’s free!

Poorly designed greens
The course layout is nice, and overall, in decent condition, but…. several of the green complexes are outrageously designed, which soured my impression of the course. 3 or 4 greens on the front 9 have slopes exceeding 5 degrees for a large portion of the green and it makes them unplayable and silly. Uphill putts literally rolling backwards after a lag putt shouldn’t happen. Having extreme slope is fine if only on a ridge on the putting surface, but the entire green? No thanks. Perhaps it’s due to erosion, or perhaps it was defined this way and made sense when stimp meters were <7 in the 1960’s but not when they are running 9+. In any case, the greens should be redone.
Greens and pin placement was ridiculously unfair.
Pin placements on every hole and overall greens playability were impossible. Every pin was on a slope. Overall condition of course was very average at best.
