McCormick Ranch Golf Club (Palm)

Scottsdale, AZ · 0.0 mi away

The Pine Course is one of two 18-hole layouts at McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, part of a master-planned community developed on former ranchland once used for cattle and Arabian horse breeding by Anne and Fowler McCormick. Both the Pine and Palm courses were designed by Desmond Muirhead and opened in 1972. The Pine is the longer of the two courses and plays tighter off the tee, with water hazards coming into play on a number of holes through the relatively flat, park-like Scottsdale Greenbelt. The club is open to the public 365 days a year, with mountain views of Camelback and McDowell Mountain, a large practice putting green, chipping areas and a driving range on site.

The Ambiente course at Camelback Golf Club occupies part of the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, set against the northern Sonoran Desert. Jason Straka of Hurdzan/Fry Environmental Golf Design rebuilt the club's former Indian Bend layout, raising and reshaping the flat washland to add elevation change and improve drainage; the course opened in November 2013. Ambiente plays to a par of 72 at about 7,225 yards from the back tees, with wide fairways, five sets of tees, and only about 90 acres of maintained turf surrounded by restored native desert vegetation. It operates as a resort course open to guests of the Camelback Inn and the public through advance tee-time booking.

Paradise Valley, AZ · 0.9 mi away

The Ambiente Course is one of two 18-hole layouts at Camelback Golf Club, located at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, near the Paradise Valley area at the base of Camelback Mountain. The course opened in its current form in 2013 following a complete redesign of the previous Indian Bend layout. Architect Jason Straka of Hurdzan/Fry led the renovation, lowering the course's elevation profile to create dramatic rolling fairways and improve drainage, while restoring native desert plantings and reducing maintained turf. The par-72 course plays to roughly 7,225 yards from the back tees, with mountain views throughout the round. As a resort course, Ambiente is available to hotel guests and the public through tee time reservations, and it operates alongside the Arthur Hills-designed Padre Course as part of the same golf club.
