Reviews of McCormick Ranch Golf Club (Golf)

James Santiago

The experience was great the the field look amazing. Was here for Junior Achievement and the set up was great! Love the place!

Paul Stinger

I have many reasons for leaving a bad comment on this web page. This golf course is in great condition with the worst staff i have ever experienced in my lifetime! I went to use the restroom before my golf round on Saturday September 14th and it smelt horribly of weed. The only person in the restroom was a staff member named Andy I saw lounging in the bathroom! He was not working and looked to be under the influence. This is a shame because I have been golfing here for over 40 years and this staff is not fair to the quality of this course. Please fix this situation now you are loosing money because of your staff.

Mike Hussung

$75 to play a $40 course.. played 5 holes with the sprinklers going off on the greens, 4 holes with a cart that would barely run and a rude ranger that yelled at us for not having the carts in the path while we were behind the cart signs. I told the staff about our experience and he said what do you want me to do about it! Absolutely will never play here again, horrible experience. Trust the reviews, wish I would’ve

Rob Walker

Great clubhouse

Nick Hastings

The Palms course was in nice condition and very scenic with all the palms and water. The pro shop was stocked with legit merch. My only complaint was the range. At 9:30am there was no grass left to hit from and no distances marked. All considered it was a solid golf outing at a decent value in Scottsdale.

Jj Cheney

Beautiful landscape beautiful people what else can you ask for

erik johnson

It's a beautiful golf course well maintained fun day

Andrew Malakoff

Fantastic course, definitely recommend. Greens were in great shape, fairways even better. Not too challenging of a course, didn't manage to donate too many balls. Great staff, would repeat.

Greg Baker

The first couple holes were in good condition, but after that it was rough. Most of the whole were soaked with water in the fairways and around the greens. Greens were in pretty rough condition as well. I know we are at the time of the year when there is a transition in grass, but no other course I've been to was this rough. Greens were very rough as well. That said, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, the contour of the course was good.

Kyle Simpson

Its golf.. lol. You either kill it or get drunk.

Kevin Meyers

We played the pine course. The fairways and greens were in great shape, but the rough was fairly dead. I expected better for prime AZ golf season (March).

Bob Ives

I was there for a Leslie golf charity event. Fine Golf course very well maintained

Juice Newton

Its ok.

Bob Hester

Played the Palm course. Very challenging and a lot of fun. Greens are in great shape.

Joe Delaney

This is a really nice place

Love You

We hit a basket of balls on the range before our round. The check in staff was friendly. We played 18 holes in under 4 hours, which was a nice change from some of the other courses in town. Greens were in good shape, some of the water holes were a bit challenging on the palm course.

Keith Miller

Course in great condition. Very helpful staff. A must visit.

Eduardo Felix

Great place for a weekend trip with kids. Train ride and carrousel are inexpensive and well maintained. Scale train museum is a must. Good place for a picnic and for outside family to see.

Jon Marshall

This a favorite golf course. 72 holes so it doesn't get so busy. Not a lot of desert on the course, which is great. The pricing fluctuates but its usually lower than similar quality course. The course is walkable too. And it has a very good practice area.

Denise Robbins

We had a great time at the 98 KUPD Heat Stroke Open! Thanks McCormick Ranch for being so awesome! The only thing I would have changed was to have more servers in the bar. It was very crowded and only 1 bartender and 1 server.

Jennie Karges Photography

Had the opportunity to photograph a wedding here in May. Great team to work with! Very friendly and kind and helpful. My bride and groom loved them as well! It was an all-around top notch day and a lot of that was thanks to the incredible team! The views here are gorgeous right on the water and the mountains! It's an awesome location to get hitched.

Jonathan Shepherd

The course layout is nice especially off the tips, however I was very disappointed with the quality of the fairways, bunkers, and greens. Probably in the worse shape of all courses I've played in Phoenix (out of 20 or so courses). Pace of play yesterday was slow (5h round) and our three ball was waiting on every shot. We asked at 9 if any rangers were out (seemed to be the third group Infront which was holding up play) they said they weren't any at that time, and we commented on the standard of the course considering the price, and they weren't apologitic at all. Wouldn't recommend playing this course until the course conditions are rectified. Shame as from the tips it's a fun course design.

Sarah Birkett

Love this Wedding Venue! Beautiful views, delicious food and extremely friendly staff!

ALEKS Zlatic

Nice spot to wind down

Bill Fahey

Liked the course. Staff were great.

Steve Soileau

Busy. Play in the afternoon for less of a crowd and cheaper green fees. Nice course; the ground is dry, so the ball rolls forever, which can be either a good or a bad thing...

Andrew Haynes

They have 2 courses and a nice practice facility. The courses are not always in good shape but it is worth playing. There is plenty of water on both courses which can make it scoring difficult.

Cheryl Pelletier

Great view. Great service. Great food.

Brenda Hall

This was a great place for a medium to large breakfast event! Beautiful setting! Excellent service! Delicious good! Good service!

George Deaton

Very nice course.

Toast Nation

Beautiful greens and top notch pro shop.

David Telles

awesome course but they need more water stations. Slow service but usually always good service

Michael Witten

Great price.... To much play as a result. Waited on every hole... Greens rolled decent, but were highly hallmarks.

Josh Julian

Course was in excellent shape minus the lack of ball repair on the excellent greens. Play speed was a little slow, but overall, surface was in great shape, price was right and nice place to get a round in.

Eric Trujillo

Between Josh in the proshop and the starter bob f this place is a joke. Slow play, rude service, apparently other people have privileges us over us full paying customers. If you want slow play and a horrible experience call now! I'm sure Josh will hang up on you too! Thanks Josh!

Max Sullivan

Very good service, golf course fairly open and in very good condition except for the greens, apparently no one fixes ball marks so they are pitted

James Banken

Big greens, roll great. Fairways tight but fair. Staff got us in and going. No complaints. Great restaurant too. Had the three egg omelet for lunch.. thumbs up.

Keith

Glorious, really.

Julie Johnson

Charming and busy! Mexican food restaurants are a matter of what your used to, I think the food was not good compared to restaurants I have been to. But the waiting was long, all the seats were full. So there you go.

Vince Mahtani

Good course for the money. The tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. The hole placement on the greens were brutal. Other than that, it was a fun course to play.

Rex Barrong

Had a great 18 holes here on the palm side. The pine side was closed, so the course was a bit crowded. Lots of water to avoid, so it was challenging for my level of golf.

Randy Kugler

My son in law and I played 3 rounds on the Palm Course last week while visiting Scottsdale for Spring Training. We had a great time. Very personable staff. Course was in great condition. Loved it and will be back for sure. Thank you for making our golf experience everything we had hoped for.

Bernie Price

Course is worse than an average muni. Average fairways and greens, dead yellow hardpan rough, goofy layout. Worst range I've ever seen, no grass at all to hit off. I'll not play here again. Service is good though, employees are attentive & nice.

Dirk Novio

It’s a great time. Love the staff.

Gloria Arra

Loved the course. Not too difficult. Very playable.

JRay Law

Good instructors

Kevin kamplain

Gorgeous course. Well maintained and staff was awesome

M

Very nice

Gigi Santella

Carpets were VERY dirty in restaurant. They do not have any steak/sharp knives even when serving prime rib. Buffet food was left out too long and stale. Only plus was the servers were courteous and attentive.

Kirk Junker

Course is nice but management of play is lacking. Maybe just a particularly bad draw but our 4some was waiting a minimum of 5 up to 10 min each hole through all 18. Marshall was by multiple times and no help.

Robert DeGrass

Very nice golf course!!

Daniel Jackson

Both courses are a fair test of golf. Be careful of too long of drives on some water holes on the palm course. Friendly helpful staff.

Lance Power

Great spot for families and all.

Nathan Carsten

Great course. Really a pretty spot we had a grand time! It's nice that they rent clubs but $60 was a little steep... Super nice place though.

Gail M Petrucci

Palm & Pine are beautiful courses. Problem is T's are not marked making sever of them VERY confusing and difficult to find.

Jason Palumbo

Great golf course! The rate was definitely worth the round. The beverage cart ladies however were not so great. Both times we bought shots for one of our friends playing in the group behind us, the beverage ladies didn't give them to him. Pretty messed up.

Kevin Freeman

Beautiful!

Milissa Simmons

The patio at the clubhouse is FANTASTIC. Green grass, right by the lake, geese flying around and a beautiful view of Camelback mountain. Food is great and the Martinis are 20 years ago prices. Love this place! Glad to be a local and hang out there whenever we want!!!

Delene Burton

Absolutely beautiful!

Naomi Southwell

This was a great place for a medium to large breakfast event!

Sher Hurlburt

Best breakfast. Fabulous views, good service.

RONNIE HOYT

Thank you McCormick Ranch and KUPD for another wonderful yr at the 2019 heat stroke open!!!! Love you guys

Joseph Lee

Played the Palm course. I wanted to play the Pines, but it's apparently being overseeded. Greens and fairways were in decent shape, but everywhere else was spotty and patchy. My local muni (Aguila) has better conditions, no joke. The rough had tons of dirt and bare spots, which was super disappointing for a course with greens fees of $50+ in September. Also, duck droppings everywhere, including on the greens. The course itself was rather uninteresting. With the exception of hole 9, most of the holes were forgettable. I want to come back because I've heard good things about the Pines, but I'm not so sure now.

Kris Rocky

Enjoyed the long challenging course, but did not enjoy the day. Paid full rates on a Fri morn. Club grossly overloaded the course which played like b-rated muni-course filled with slow 5-somes and even players sharing clubs. Really, McCormick? We won't go back...but they have more than enough fools who will so can't imagine they'll miss us.

Mary Ann Levine

Outstanding wedding venue.

Mark Hoyland

Some interesting holes greens fast but course seemed very overused. So many pitch marks. Booked a tee time of 2.08 weren't called forward until 2.30 didn't start until 2.40. Nearly 3 hrs to play the front 9. Sunset at 6.30. Didn't finish the course. Feel cheated and then the bar was shut.

Mike Carusone

Difficult into the sun on the range. Tan grass no help

B0b Eulie

As good as any course in the valley...for such a good price:). Challenging greens.

Danger Panda Lol

Was there for a few minutes a month or two ago. It’s decent lol. The locker rooms and such are fine. There are saunas like most normal places lol. One of the 911 calls was from there after they took my phone away the first time so I couldn’t call my family. Jenny probably heard part of that one. Also the boys have some passport thing as well because of this so... :/ MEDICALLY ILL AND IN RENAL FAILURE SHOULD BE HAVING DIALYSIS AND HAVENT.

Matt Frenzer

Always love playing this course. Palm Course is my favorite and is always in good shape. Nice desert landscaping on the back. Only downside are all the dang geese

Matthew Hill

Visited here for Rotary. Absolutely beautiful views of the lake, green, and nearby mountains.

Marc Anderson

.great

Bradford Kimes

Course in ok shape, but way too many birds and used bird food all over the course! Unfortunately, $100/round is too much for this track.

James Chrismond

A wonderful place to play golf in Phoenix. Played Super Bowl Sunday Morning.

Chad Barnett

Course in excellent shape! Greens rolling true, tee box to green full and lush! For summer golf you cannot ask for better conditions especially for how dry this season has been. Ron in the pro shop was professional and very informative, outside service was also professional and willing to help from the time you arrive to the time you exit the 18th hole. Thank you for an awesome experience will be back again soon.

Tim McNair

Have played here a few times. Fun courses. The Palm Course is my favorite.

Bret Hancock

The course is a decent 3 star, but 3.5 hour back nine with no ranger ruined the round. We were the 4th group out in the morning, front nine played 2 hours, but back nine was waiting 10 minutes on each shot. If the 3 groups ahead of us start the morning could play the front in 2 hours, then why did it take 3.5 hours for the back nine and no ranger? Poorly managed, won't return.

D.L. Marble

Great course, well maintained and beautiful! Amazing staff, from Director to the guys in the club house, drink gals.. everyone is fantastic! I played well, so that helps too! One of the best in Arizona for sure!

Mark Emmons

2 good courses, knowledgeable staff and support crew, pricey but worth it.

Jody Lindbo

Great course, always a joy playing it and the staff is very helpful and nice. I liked so much I donated a few balls in the water in the picture!

Nick Miner

Always a good day for golf!

Gerard Lee

The two courses are well maintained and the price is right, as they're on the less expensive end of the spectrum. The issue for us was it was too cold to play at 7:20am and the greens were very inconsistent, having just been overseeded. All in all, a good value and conveniently located.

Faster Quicker

Excellent. Well maintained. Challenging, fun and interesting. Excellent clubhouse amenities.

Jonathan Safa

3/5 for very good reasons. Course: played the non resort style course. Simple layout. Nothing to write home about. Not too challenging. Not in phenomenal condition either. Greens were rolling a bit slow. 9 on the stimp I’d say. 3/5 Practice facility: Again, greens not doing too good as of Aug 12 2019. Probably rolling a 7-8 on the practice green. Really bad. Couldn’t even practice. 2/5 Customer service: I’ve had cart guys be plain rude to me here before. Like they don’t want to be there. Just not pleasant to interact with at all. 2/5. Facility: Old clubhouse. Could use updating. 3/5 Events: Often times events are happening in the evenings. Kinda weird putting next to people getting married. 3/5

Dom Agostino

Value course. Not bad in the winter when everything else is $100+. Palm and Pine are about the same. They let us play an extra 9 for free.

dennis munger

Nice layout. Greens too sloopy and hard to approach. Fairways ok but rough is not maintained very well. Still a fun course.

Satish Kosuri

Good ambience and perfect setting for meeting

sue craven

Avoid this course until maintenance improves. There are so many better options. We played the Palm course and the back 9 fairways were completely burnt out. In many places I was hitting my approach shot off of dirt or mud. Would never come back. Check out the recent reviews on Golf Now. This appears to be an ongoing problem for several months. Sorry I did not see those. I would have played somewhere else.

Richard Aguayo

Great course to play grass is green. Greens in good shape staff really helpful. Good food and beer. Nice driving range and putting green.

Dale Bjerning

Nice courses in the heart of Scottsdale. The island green on the pines course is always a challenge.

Joe Moore

Great course. Great service. Highly recommend

john boeker

Course in reasonable shape. Not enough water stations on course

Kevin Arco

Nice course, well kept.

Joshua Kline

Wonderful day out and an awesome course!

Carol Doyle

Always pleasant,spotless,serviceGuests are never hurried; attentive,food delicious(each French fry perfectly done!)Indoor&outdoor dining with views of course&Camelback Mt.Relaxing atmosphere,bar service available.Marvelous place to share with visitors&friends!

Shep Ellis

If you can get a great price for this course it's a good golfing experience!

Shelby Sheppard

Beautiful golf course.

Tommy's Travels

The wedding we attended was beautiful and the transitions from different venues was flawless

JC Clift

It is so tranquil and beautiful here!!!

John Angeli

One of the finest courses ever played... Staff was the best and course was challenging yet not intimidating

Chris Rac

The team here did an excellent job with my sister's wedding. The views and sunset were to die for and we had a blast. Beautiful setting for a wedding.

Shawna White

I love coming here. We always go here for our work holiday party and its awesome. The food is to die for!!!!

Rene Apack

I love this place! Come for breakfast of lunch! Tell them I sent you.

Cory Murphy

Absolutely amazing course!

Ryan W

Good venue for breakfast or a wedding

Jim Hodge

1st time playing here...for hot and humid July AZ day with massive rain the night before the course still played wonderful. Some standing water(unmarked water hazards) but nothing that made any hole unplayable. Great experience and challenging but not to a point of frustrating. (My game is all the frustration I need)

Daniel Neil

Relaxing

Brittany Corleone

This is a beautiful golf course! I came here with my boyfriend and we had a terrific round. Everyone was very helpful and the course was in great shape.

M K

Great way to escape with friends

Lus geniz

Company party ,great location,the food was.just Awsome and the service was outstanding

Corey Henning

Overall great experience. The only critique I have was the greens were lightning fast. Putting downhill was near impossible without it rolling 10-15 ft past the hole.

Guilherme Blumenthal

Course is in good shape and the views are great. It would be a five star but the driver range was too muddy from where we were practicing

Edward Ong

Course is in good shape, besides the downed branches. Greens were slow and rough is thick. Hard to find your ball in the rough.

Anna Schreier

If you are the right customer, they treat you great but if you’re not then you’re ‘not a priority’ to them.

leo montoya

I play fairly often during the summer and have always been impressed by the customer service the staff at McCormick Ranch provides. Having been in the customer service business myself for most of my working years I appreciate individuals who go above and beyond; I am being taught a new level of service the staff at McCormick Ranch provides, impressive and I for one appreciate all they do in a business where complaints often override the good the staff does. For the first time I allowed myself a treat, trying to watch my waistline I do watch what I eat but today I ordered from the grill. Chicken tenders with French fries. I could not believe just how tasty the food was. I wasn't starving but as I had a medical test earlier I had not eaten. The tenders were just that, tender, with just the right amount of crunch. The French fries were a tad too salty but that was my doing as I should have requested the fries lightly salted. The chef/cook provided a garnish of lettuce and a tomato slice. The tomato slice was not a thin slice but a healthy one. I rubbed the salt off some fries onto the tomato and enjoyed every single bite. This may not sound like a big deal, but it is relevant in that the staff pays attention to the little things, the little details which make or break a business. Kudos. Keep up the fantastic work!

Matthew Piccolo

Thanks, Stormwind studios for a awesome party

Francine Curtis

Nice course but it is covered with goose poop which is impossible to miss so not healthy

Cindy Heller

Love the beauty displayed on the porch or thru the windows of the golf course restsurant ...See greens ....and a lake with Camelback mountain in close view. The staff are friendly and the salads and sandwiches are very good.

Chanet Fiorina-Trujillo

Worst course to play in the Phoenix area! Don't waste your time or money here-Called the pro shop with inquires multiple times and the gentleman in the golf shop "Josh" was extremely rude and unprofessional- hung up on me each time. The staff was so unpleasant I will never return back here. My husband and I play courses all over the PHX metro area and I promise you there are much better experiences that you will have then at McCormick ranch golf club. Try Starfire!

Andy Krogwold

Great value.

Jim Teller

What a great time. Got paired up with 2 police officers and had a great time

Dan Zustiak

Just played there this morning. Course was fine, but I'm still in shock over being shamed by the woman who drove the beverage cart. I bought water and a Snickers from her at the turn, $6, tipped her $2. Around hole 14, she came around and I bought a water, $3. Since I had tipped her 35% the first time and only had three $1s left in my pocket, I only gave her $3. She looked at it and said, "You forgot the gratuity." I asked if that was required and she said yes. I dug out my wallet and handed her a $10. Instead of giving me change back to decide what amount to tip her, she just returned $8...I guess her thinking must be that her high level of customer service was worthy of a 66% tip. What if I only had $3 left on me...would I not be able to buy a $3 water? Next time I'm back in Scottsdale, I'll be playing a different course.

Jeremy Dreher

Very muddy beautiful fun course

Dave Burrows

One of the best courses in Phx for the price. Great practice facility too.

angela desimone

Menus were dirty, food was adequate. You are paying for the view

Tim A

Decent value. There are better courses out there but at this price it's a good deal.

Michael Alt

Didn't golf this time, just had breakfast in the grill. Good food, good service and great views of the lake.

Shannon Fitzgerald

Nice course, fantastic youth golf program

Venus Ortega

Awesome Mother's day brunch!!!

Anthony Harding

This whole facility is amazing, but my review is specifically regarding the staff. From my experience, every team member goes above and beyond in order to make sure your needs are met. We had some rain and had to call the day short, the staff was more than happy to give us a rain check and provide us with a free round of 9 the week later. I would highly recommend coming here weather rain is in the forecast or not;)

Jacque Doyle

Very nice. Excellent service for our large group of hungry cyclists. Thanks!

Netasha Kimbrell

Beautiful greenery!! I love to golf!!

Fred Meland

Obviously people who say this course is in nice shape have never played a nice course. Greens hard. You can hit a nice shot be three feet off green and your hitting off sand. The only birdie I got was hit a coot on a hole. Will never be back.course looks nothing like pictures.

Billy Stephens

Great course and practice facilities.

Jeff Spight

Always can get on, course in decent shape, and staff are always friendly

Andy Bourgeois

Nice course very well maintained

tammy reeves

Beautiful golf course! We went to a wedding and had a lovely time, good food and nice venue.

Chris Morton

It 100 degrees + out here on the course during a kids golf tournament and they've got a $25 minimum purchase at the snack bar if you want to freaking bottle of water. I know you guys need every dollar out there including the 15% it cost you to run a debit card on a bottle of water but that's ridiculous

Beongki Cho

Nice golf course

Brian Murray

Fun track. Well run.

Onstar NA

We played golf at one of the courses available here; The Palm, which was fun and very well groomed! The scenery was very nice with water present! The greens were in great shape and made putting enjoyable! We ate at the golf club restaurant and the service and food were terrific! Definitely making a return trip to golf and get food!

Diane Neslund

Great breakfast with an exceptional view!

Doug Dryden

Great course. Pretty greens and good amenities.

Bryan sharp

Great course. A little thin in areas but overall very nicely kept.

Ron Cacini

Great breakfast with our out of town friends Mark Mason and Deanna.

Lorna Reeves

Course was extremely fair and in good condition.

Sheila Dickerson

Good course to play.

Matthew McCullough

Layed on Easter morning. Course was in good condition fairways and greens all in good shape. Bunkers were hard and compacted and looks like they were just with by sprinklers. Greens felt like that ran slow. But all in all was a great day.

Greg Johnson

McCormick Ranch used to be a pristine golf environment. Now it is below most municipal courses. I am so disappointed. Ownership and management must not care and believe it doesn't matter. Too bad. I won't be back.

ilan bobby

great course and views for the price

Michael Blazina

Always enjoy playing their courses!

Mark Schiermeyer

The course is fairly well keep (otherwise it would have been one star), but they are overrated for there price! We golfed there Saturday this last weekend and it took us nearly 6 hours to play 18. It seems like it is more about making money than a quality golf experience. Every hole was backed up and the "ranger" did nothing to expedite play. They pack as many people on the course as possible regardless of how it affects the players. There are other courses in the area that cater far better to the customer's experience. I can't in good conscience reccomend this course.

Rizwan Rasheed

We attended a wedding reception here. The reception was held next to a golf course and lakes. Beautiful setting. We enjoyed our time there.

Nate Williams

McCormick Ranch is such an amazing venue to work with! Thank you guys so much - what an incredible experience all around! HIGHLY recommended if you're getting married in Scottsdale!

julie angileri

Went to a Christmas party here. Had some difficulty finding exactly where we were supposed to go, but once we got there the news were nice and the food was delicious.

Paul Williams

Great course.. Great staff.

Bob Jafferis

In the past I would have given this course a 4 or 5. This time it had been over seeded and the grass was uneven throughout the course. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were all that way. Add in cart path only golfing and it made for an over priced day of golf. Disappointed this time with the experience here.
