McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Overall Ranking: #29

McCormick Ranch has 36 holes of championship golf, set right in the middle of everything. Both course are superbly designed and have zero bad holes on either course. Both courses are very challenging, but fair and are local golfer’s favorite spot. The clubhouse is a bit dated and the course offers travelers not much in the way of the true desert golf experience(saguaros, canyons or vistas). But, if you are looking for a great tree lined/parkland course, with a design second to none, then this is your course. Location, location, location- Right in the heart of Scottsdale.
