The Palm Course at McCormick Ranch Golf Club is one half of an extremely popular and picturesque 36-hole championship facility located smack in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona. Palm trees, bunkers and numerous water features help define the generous playing corridors on this entertaining layout that players of all skill levels find manageable and enjoyable. Since the rough beyond the fairways normally isn’t overwhelmingly thick, most of the trouble on the Palm Course at McCormick Ranch Golf Club comes in the form of water and sand. No fewer than ten holes bring water hazards into play.
“Doesn’t feel like typical desert golf with the amount of water on the course. Great layout to mix in on our trip and so centrally located”
The Palm Course features large, well-defended elevated greens that make it a bit tougher than the Pine Course for most players. You’ll be challenged to come away with a two-putt when the notably undulating Bermuda putting surfaces are rolling fast. Be sure on the par-3 hole 8 to be below the hole or your may be staring a 3 or 4-putt in the face. Practice facilities at McCormick Ranch Golf Club include a grass driving range, two chipping areas with sand bunkers, and one of the largest putting greens in Scottsdale! For post-round drinks, it is hard to beat the patio that overlooks the McDowell Mountains and Camelback Mountain.
