Palm At Mccormick Ranch Golf Club

Scottsdale, Arizona · 18 holes · par 72 · Public. Designed by Desmond Muirhead, opened 1971.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

In play

  • Bunker left: 251 to reach, 259 to carry
  • 2 bunkers right of the green

Playing notes

  • Fairway bunkers on the left: 251 to reach, 259 to carry. Drives that finish short of 251 stay clear; otherwise the right side is the safer line off the tee.
  • The green is guarded on the right by bunkers; miss left.
  • The green is 40 yards deep: a back pin can play about 3 clubs more than a front pin.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft. Tees, hazards and conditions change; check with the course before you play. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0) via OpenGolfAPI. Scorecard yardages and ratings as published.
