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.

Overall good condition, But......

The driving range had mats to hit off. Detest mats.

Many of the greens had large bare spots. Seems like this was the same problem the last time I played here a year ago. Come on, let's get this fixed. Should charge less for a damaged course.

This “resort” needs beautifying

Fairways were in good shape; greens have some kind of disease/ bad shape.

They added gps screens on the carts but the cart was filthy. I had to ask an employee to wipe it down. If this resort wants to be consider a nice place or a real “resort” need to up your game. The rough is spotty no grass in most places.

Great park land course

Great course with the exception of a few greens that had a few problems when they were reseeded. We aren’t pros so we just moved our balls a few inches when putting. Also, the pricing was adjusted downward to compensate for the problem, so we felt that was fair.

Great staff, great practice area and great instructors.

Greens are in bad shape.

The greens have large sections of dead patches that are loose dirt. I did not see any disclosure of the condition of the greens prior to playing and no discounted greens fees.

The young man in the shop was very friendly and helpful.

Greens need help

Played golf with my boys and long time friend. My son got married there so sentimental round. Pace of play was great but greens were in HORRIBLE shape. Hard to justify the cost right now!

Greens bad

The course is in excellent shape, except for the greens, which were bare in some spots and with dirt/sand in others.

Spring Break trip

Course layout is great....nice fairways...tee boxes uneven and most greens have fungus damage..dry spots.

Most off course amenities closed in the afternoon..

Have to deal with one person bar staff....

Easy to deal with if the course was in better shape...

Not worth the 120+ green fees...it has been better

Greens were burnt out

Course was in good condition except the greens were in bad shape, burnt out or something. Large dirt patches .

Tee boxes were not cut. Price should have been lower based on condition of the greens.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I echo the sentiment of the previous comments. I thought going in I was mentally prepared for the poor course but I really can’t believe how poor this place is maintained. It is a boring straight course with very little excitement. The grass is terrible ALL OVER. Teebox, fairway, rough and greens are all terrible. And you know I love might be able to get over that if the freaking Marshall wasn’t rushing us the ENTIRE course to finish in under 4 hrs, the group behind us was no where in sight and he tried to tell us to play up at the 150 or skip the whole… I told him to go shove it. Normal pace is 4.5 hrs with a full group. This rushing really messed my game up and made it not enjoyable. To think I payed $150 to play a crappy course AND be rushed. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play somewhere else for a few dollars more .. I can’t begin to tell you how many better courses there are… oh and I almost forgot about how crappy the artificial grass pad at the driving range is. I WILL NEVER PLAY HERE AGAIN.. AND RECOMMEND NO ONE ELSE

Nice course, greens need work

I really loved the course, the layout, pace of play, etc. The greens on multiple holes were jeans in some spots. For a $130/player a round I would expect the greens to be a lot better.

The tee boxes were all chopped up. The fairways were furry. Most all the greens had bare spots or erosion on them.

Ouch

The tee boxes were in good shape. Now the rest: greens awful. Fairways average or worse depending on which hole but little effort to remove leaves sticks etc. Cart paths have not been updated in a long time. Definitely not worth a spring premium price. Buyer beware.

Peak season prices, end of season conditions

I’ll be upfront, the greens are trash. More sand and dirt on them, than in the bunkers. No one fixes their pitch/ball marks and overall the price at a ‘resort course’ for the condition is ridiculous.
