The course at the Orange Tree Golf Resort provides an excellent game of golf in a luxurious setting. The Parkland-style layout features fairways lined with mature trees, which not only enhance the natural beauty of the golf course but can also greatly affect shots. Four lakes are situated on the flat terrain of the course, providing water hazards that come into play on five holes. Sand bunkers also surround every green. Orange Tree Golf Resort's course finishes with its signature hole, where water cuts into the fairway and proceeds to run down the left side all the way to the green. It also requires accuracy on the approach shot in order to hit the small putting surface that is surrounded by tricky elements.

It is what it is.

Orange Tree serves it's purpose for the Scottsdale area. It is an older facility that offers fair pricing. The venue has some bare spots and areas in need of maintenance. The traps were very good, greens were good (slow due to the summer stress) and the fairways were good in most areas.
Orange Tree is basically a flat golf course. It has very little undulation.
All said, I enjoyed the day and will return.

Orange Tree Has Improved--A Lot!

For 4-5 years, as a local Phoenix resident, I wrote the course, suggesting it was a JOKE to call Orange Tree a "golf resort." The facility was dated and the course maintenance was poor, with consistently "HARD PACKED (clay)" traps, the tee markers were just pieces of tree limbs (painted on the ends to denote this or that tee box), etc.

I was pleasantly surprised at the play there yesterday (March 11). New clubhouse and course signage, actual sand in the traps, proper tee markers, and friendly staff. There are other changes in the works, such as the on-course restrooms--in serious need of updating, etc. But I'm encouraged with with I found... Bravo OT!

Ranger/Tee schedule

We were stacked up with 4 groups on the second hole. I watched as the ranger hunted for balls and then ignore the congestion. He pulled up to the tee and I commented about the congestion. He snarkily said,we are busy today! He has silver grey hair with shades acting like an arrogant ahole. We saw him lap the course several times after that with no improvement in the pace of play and no comments. On 18 tee we were waitng after 2 hours and 15 minutes and waiting every shot.A combination of a greedy timing of 7 or 8 minute tee times and a lees than adequate ranger made our round unbearable. Two hours and forty minutes after we started we left the course after nine holes of golf.

No refund

Seems like you have to die before Golf Now will refund your money even when a person comes down with Covid. I was charged $295 for my one round of golf when my partner came down with Covid and couldn’t make it. Although I have used the service many times before, I am done because of the refusal to make it right. Goodbye forever if I am not compensated for my loss. The tee time was filled by another who was charged on top of what GN took from me for no service rendered.
