Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Pine Course at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club offers mature pines, in an appropriate contrast to its sibling golf course, the Pine Course, and is also narrower than the other golf course. What they have in common include the facts that Desmond Muirhead designed both of them and they both date back to 1972; recent renovations have also given both golf courses new greens, sand traps and bridges.
The Pine at McCormick Ranch Golf Club measures 7,187 yards, kicking off on a 398-yard par 4 that requires tee shot toward the fairway's center, leaving golfers a mid- to short-iron from the green, which slopes narrowly. Things get long by the fourth hole, one of four par-5 holes that come in at over 500 yards; this one, for example, makes you place your drive well toward right-center if you want to shoot for it in two. Close out the round of golf on the 18th hole, another long one, at 517 yards from the blue tees, and a tight hole to drive that will, thankfully, provide your last test for the day.

Maintenance?
The first issue was that the person who took my clubs to the cart lost my (expensive) putter cover. Then the fairways were poorly maintained, and in some cases diseased.
Greens were okay, but where's the sand. DIRT!!
To make matters worse, no one turned in my putter cover. A gentleman's game??
They stopped trying.
It looks like the ownership has stopped trying. The fairways and greens were fine, but the grass off the fairways was terrible. More weeds than grass The bunkers sand was closer to concrete.
Recent downpour required cartpath only so pace.was.great cobsidering. Bunkers were soaked.and compacted but played.okay from dry areas. Fairways were goid and greens putted truebut were.not as fast as starter had indicated. People I paired with were greay company. Staff was very welcoming
Would play again for right price but like all.Az.tracks it is overpriced
Need Marshall’s to do there job
Overall we had a good day. The only negative was they did not follow through on their starter commitment that they would be in the course regularly. The groups in front of us were over a hole behind and we were waiting on every hole. Greens were awesome and fairways in good shape as welk
Traditional Golf in AZ
It was refreshing not to see any Cactus or lizards, or any rattlesnakes. This is a traditional golf course layout. Tree lined, some water on a few holes to Navigate. You must pay attention to the course map, so you can avoid the trouble. The pins can be tricky if they want you to hate golf. Lots of undulating greens that roll faster than you think. Easy course to hone in the golf game. Plenty of distance. Lots of errant shots from other tee boxes, so don't pick up a ball that isn't yours! Pay attention. Come on, man!
McCormick ranch pines course
Great play to play!
The greens are fast! The fairways are well taken care of and the yee boxes are great.
Some tricky holes that require good aim and planning.
About 4'15" to play.
Played the Pine course for first time. A fair and enjoyable golf challenge. Price was reasonable for this time of the year.
SPX2 on VV
Terrible layout....course not in good condition...not worth $170.
SPX2 on vacation
Not a great course. Looks nice from the Bvld...but not in good shape inside. Especially for the money.
White tees very demanding.
Not a good course to play for the average golfer. Too many tricks in the fairways and on the greens.
