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.

Returned to the Orange Tree GC

Curiosity called me to get back to play the Orange Tree GC again. Last time, a couple of months ago or so, the experience wasn't the best with fairways and greens in poor condition in the majority of the holes. What a significant change I found in the GC conditions yesterday. It's evident the efforts put to recover this GC. Fairways and greens were in very good condition, even in the middle of the AZ summer, as you should expect. Congratulations and great job to the staff that got revived this GC, and that motivates me to play it again in the future.,

Rounding into shape

Better than expected based on year over year reviews. Pleasantly surprised, very playable, all greens with exception of 16th were excellent. S little rough around the edges but nothing to be over critical about. Well done

Surprising

Course was surprisingly in decent shape. Still has its rough parts, but unbeatable for $30 in Scottsdale.

Improvements Made

I have golfed this course many times in the last four years. The course, with the exception of two greens is in great shape. They have worked hard to get it to this point. I understand the two greens are going to be fixed in the near future.

Orange Tree Golf Resort July 4th Review

I’v been playing OT, on and off, for about 15 years. For 4 years in a row I wrote the course saying it ought to be embarrassed for having “clay” bunkers—largely untilled or raked, and greens, a third of which had up to ⅓ of them barren (down to dirt). The bunkers are now sand, raked and tilled, which is great. However the green’s issue remains and lots of work is needed to make them satisfactory. As this was the beginning of the 4th of July weekend, the fairways and rough had not been cut. Again, very disappointing for a “golf resort.” Also, the general overal outside appearance of the facilities is VERY dated—with NO apparent changes in the last 15+ years. One of my golf buddies, who played Orange Tree BEFORE there were houses. concurs..
