Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort

I would encourage golfers to avoid this place. I booked a tee time for a single at 3:40pm on a Friday afternoon. I was told that I would be playing behind another single and a 4some. After waiting for some rain to subside and a delay on the first tee, I tee’d off around 3:35pm (I checked in around 3:20 and opted not to warm up and was told I could head to the first tee.). The pace of play was horrendous. I waited 8 mins on the 3rd tee box and decided to walk off and head home at 4:18pm – 43 mins for 2 holes of golf. I walked into the pro shop and inquired about a ‘slow play’ rain check and mentioned that I was leaving because it took me 43 minutes to play two holes and the response I got from staff was “oh gosh.” Not an apology, not an offer of a rain check. If such lackluster caliber play is going to be allowed at this course, there needs to be a modicum of pace of play enforcement. I would say the $90 I spent was wasted but I look at it like this: I spent $90 to realize I will never set foot on this course again and encourage others to do the same.

I struggled on this course today and scored 7 strokes higher than I did the week prior. Played the back nine first today. Got behind a father and 3 kids who looked like they didn’t want to be there. My patience was tested and probably affected my game.

Nice course...a bit rough around the edges but fairways n greens in great shape...nice layout n very forgiving for the average golfer..

Lots of improvements from last year make this a great course. Staff is great, too.

I played this course in my 5-year-old rode along with me. I was paired up with three other very friendly gentleman. The course was very friendly while still being very professional

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!

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.

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.
