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.

Orange Tree Has Improved

I wrote a review of the course over the last 4-5 years, noting that it should be embarrassed to call itself a "golf resort." This was because of rock-hard traps and "silly" painted rocks that marked tee boxes. That's now changed, with sand in the bunkers and professional tee markers. The course was groomed well. The greens remain a "challenge," as do the tee boxes--far too many are not flat, which could easily be changed leaving you to hit "downhill" or "uphill."

Ball Marks EVERYWHERE on greens

Apparently no players at this course repair ball marks on the greens and ALMOST none of them repair divots in the fairways. Other than that it was fine

Disappointing Experience

First time playing this course and with what I paid, expected more. The golf holes are pretty boring, and course conditions were fair at best.

Take a Pass on this course

Check in at pro shop was fine but they failed to inform us their was a ladies tournament ahead of us and it took 3 hours to play 3 holes. We returned to pro shop and explained the situation and they really didn’t care and offered no apology. Take a pass on this course and go somewhere where they manage the course properly to allow reasonable pace of play.

Needs water

Both greens and fairways are starting to dry out. Some extra water would be helpful to overall conditions.

Good location, amenities and course

Staff was welcoming and friendly. the outside veranda watching people come in on 18 was very nice too. Last time I was here the course was in better shape, fairway was dry and needed some work on their bunkers. Not that bad though. Play for a lot of run on your tee shots. Also a good course for higher handicappers and shorter hitters.
