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.

Not great

The pictures are deceiving. The course is eh at best. There are much nicer courses in the area for the same price. The quality of golfers isn’t great so after nearly a 3 hour front nine I packed up and headed to my hotel.

Terrible customer service

Horrible customer service. Rude. Wanted us to play in rain with 20 mph wind and no windshield on carts. Still charged us even though we refused to play in terrible conditions.

Greens were good .Tees and fairways were average. Bunkers were poor and had many had standing water even though it rained 2 days prior. Poor drainage on the course.

Great Course in Scottsdale

I've been vacationing/golfing in Scottsdale for years and have noticed that the cost has increased significantly over the past few years. Hard to find a decent track for under $100. This is a fine course and although the fairways and bunkers were a bit soaked from the prior days rain, we still had a very enjoyable round. I'd both play this course again and recommend this to anyone looking for a course in the Scottsdale area.

1st round of the year.

Staff was great. Nice day, but the night before there was a big rainstorm, so it was cart path only. Greens were still pretty quick and we were lucky enough to play with all the rain. So all in all with all things considered had a lot of fun.

Won’t play again.

Course in poor shape with standing water on multiple holes. Greens ok but had numerous ball marks from heavy play.

Back 9 layout better than front with fewer holes side by side.
