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.

A Great Day

Played with two fantastic gentlemen who have played Orange Tree numerous times. One of the gents recorded his first hole in one on #12. We had discussed if any of us had a hole in one on a previous par 3. What a great memory.

The course was ok. The tee boxes a little difficult getting the tee in the ground. Some of the fairways were hardpan fairway and tight lies. Stayed out of the bunkers so can not comment on the sand and condition. Around the greens and aprons were ok. The greens were nice to get good strokes and roll to the hole. The staff was excellent from the pro hop to the cart tenders. Thanks for a great visit.

Pace of play……?

Our group enjoyed the course, pro shop staff was nice, However after 3 holes of play, the Marshall told our group that we be needed to

“speed up…the group in front of you is 2 holes ahead of you”

Which was not true, they were not…. In fact our cart gps said we were 20 plus minutes ahead.

I informed the pro shop that the marshal should provide the amount of time we’re “behind “ if in fact we were, just because there is a gap in between groups does not indicate slow play…

After my call to the pro shop we were seemingly watched by the staff to monitor our play.

I think the marshal staff should be better trained on pace of play management

Big improvement

Played here last November and swore I would never be back because greens were covered in one inch of sand and the rest of the course was no better. Worst part was they didn’t tell you at booking and charged full rate. Terrible.

Tried it again because someone said it’s better now and they were right.

Not perfect by any means but big improvement and very enjoyable to play.

If you play for $100 it is worth it.

Great Condition, Great Value

Pace felt a little slow behind the Men's league, which apparently is on Tuesday mornings, but still finished in under 4:15. Course was is great condition and can't beat the value! Staff are all very friendly and on top of everything going on on the course.

Perfect Day of Low Stress Golf

I wasn't sure what to expect from Orange Tree my first time playing, but what I found was a beautiful and quiet course that had everything I am looking for in a relaxing day of golf. Most fairways are wide and greens forgiven, but the course still presents enough of a challenge the keep the play interesting. Being a GolfNow member also provides one of the best deals in the Scottsdale area at Orange Tree. I would happily pay double what I did to play here again, but the HotDeal for OT just makes it that much sweeter.

Reborn

As many may now they had catastrophic damage to their greens last year, I am happy to say the course was in great condition from tee to most greens. For a Monday we hoped for a reasonable pace of play but it was more than 4.5 hours by a long way. This was our second visit in two weeks so we recommend checking it out. Beautiful older homes surround the course.

Lush Course, Smooth Pace, and Worth Every Dollar

Played here on October 28, 2025 as a single, got paired with a threesome. The ranger on the first tee did a great job keeping pace of play on track, and it was nice seeing the Ranger monitor the course throughout. Even with cart-path-only conditions, nine holes took less than two hours. The course was lush, green, and in great shape — definitely worth the $80. Only downside was some noise from nearby home construction, but overall, above average experience.
