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.

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.
Hard greens, poor fairways and no
food after 3:00
Lots of better value courses to play.
Not going back.
Never Again.
My expectations must have been WAY TOO HIGH for this course in the Scottsdale area.
I anticipated a 'resort' style course meticulously maintained with elevation changes etcetera BUT NO none of that.
They're maximizing profit with minimum reinvestment into their course.
Too many rounds per year and it shows.
The photos show the conditions when I was on site and the Director of Golf stated that "We have NOT deemed our course unplayable" How can that be??
Do not play on a Saturday
We were behind multiple groups of 5 and 6 mid day on a Saturday and resulted in an over 5 hour round. Course was in poor shape for $200+ and not worth it even a little bit.
Greens were in decent shape but well pt marked.
Off fairway conditions were mainly completely dead and barren.
Great layout!
If you want a challenge with the beautiful vistas that Scottsdale has to offer, this is the course for you!
The “Pine” course is a great layout that will challenge golfers of all abilities. It’s a course where hopefuls qualify for the WASTE MANAGEMENT TOURNAMENT!
