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.

In better shape than it has been in recently. Still a little overpriced.

Overpriced

I played a better course in the east valley for 25% less.

Its a good track, but not worth $75 in August.

Not Worth The Money

Orange Tree used to be good, but as the course conditions have slightly declined the prices have sky rocketed. This is not a middle of summer $80 or winter $140 course but that’s what they charged. I the course is basically equal parts dirt and grass and several bunkers are under construction.

Horrible

Fairways were in horrible shape, you're punished for good tee shots since there is NO grass in the fairways. Greens were rolling the same pace if you putted in the sand trap, super sandy and no one fixing pitch marks on the green....we played at 550am so there shouldn't have been many pitch marks. 85 bucks to play this course was a joke, wont be back.

Close to the house

I scheduled this tee time because it was close to the house and my friend was in town. The course was very patchy. Grass in some places on the fairways, but a lot of patches with no grass. The greens were the slowest greens I’ve ever putted on. It’s kind of a goat ranch right now.

Dump

I have played this course for 18 years off and on and I will not return again during the summer time. This course was a dump. Very little grass and greens were SO SANDY.

Bare spots and punched greens

I can understand the punched greens, it's that time of year but many bare spots in the fairways and trees need trimming throughout the course. The $60 fee I paid for playing early should be dropped $10-15 given the shape of the course. The heavy set young man working the desk in the golf shop was not very friendly but the young man cleaning the clubs was nice
Cart girl Nicole is hot.

Course needs work

Have played Orange Tree a bunch. First time since last year. Was soooo disappointed. Fairways, Greens, Sandraps all in really rough shape. Greens were punched and fairways only splotchy with grass. The saving grace for the round was that it was very fast. My partner and I made it around in 3 hours. Not going back for another year. Hopefully, they will get the course back in shape.

Greens and Traps!

The course should warn guests that the greens have been plugged and sanded. Worse than temp greens!
There were signs that traps were being worked on. That's ok.

Course is a mess

Aerated tee boxes, fairways and greens impacts this review. Heavily sanded and punched greens made accurate putting nearly impossible. A lot of fairways are loaded with grassless areas. Not a pleasant round. Support staff, however, was outstanding. Just wish Orange Tree would advise of course conditions before allowing an online booking. Disappointed.

Terrible conditions right now.

Do not play here right now. The worst conditions of any golf course I’ve seen in the valley so far. Fairways were mud, greens were basically a sand trap. Go somewhere else for 30$.
