More than just a golf
course… The McCormick Ranch Golf Club offers any caliber of player two spectacular
resort golf courses, which are open to the public 365 days a year. These lush,
well-manicured, traditional layouts are located amidst gorgeous scenery in the heart of
Scottsdale.
The Palm and Pine championship tees are
each over 7,000 yards long, in addition to enjoyable, yet challenging men’s,
seniors’, and ladies’ tees. New homes in golf
communities.
Meet the challenge of these fine courses,
known for hosting the Arizona Amateur Stroke Play Championship, the Golf for Women
National Club Championship, the Arizona Open Professional Golf Tournament, and the
National Junior College Golf Championship.
The ninth hole of the Palm Course was
chosen by Golf Illustrated as “One of the USA’s top 18 water holes.”
The surrounding residential areas of
McCormick Ranch are diverse and extraordinarily well planned communities. Once a
working cattle ranch, the land (4,236 acres) was sold in 1972 to Kaiser-Aetna for
$.05/sq.ft. ($2,178/acre).
The subsequent transformation of the
McCormick's Ranch was based on a master plan developed by Gruen Associates of Los Angeles
and Scottsdale Environmental Planners and Consultants. Development began with
infrastructure and amenities. The amenities had a dual purpose by providing aesthetics,
which included two championship 18-hole golf courses, more than 25 miles of bicycle paths,
public tennis courts, 130 acres of man-made lakes, two of which can be used for sailing
and several that are stocked with fish.
Phase I saw the completion of
infrastructure (major street, sewers, water lines), the amenities and the introduction of
three resorts. In Phase II, builders purchased parcels of land, constructed the houses,
condominiums, and patio homes, and did on-site streets and utilities. Since 1980, when
Transcontinental Properties acquired the remaining 300 of 500 planned commercial acres,
the company has developed 78 acres in a residential project, and 182 acres in commercial
projects.
For planners and developers and builders, the seven square miles of McCormick Ranch is a
quantitative figure of square feet and easements and setbacks. But for the resident,
McCormick Ranch is an expansively sweeping view of the mountains, well-maintained areas
and curvature roads. New homes in golf communities.
