Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort

The Sand Traps are under construction since over 1 year! The first 5 Greens have huge dead spots on the greens... Played the course many times the last years. This comes close to the worst conditions in the summer. Pace of play was great and I played well even the greens are bumpy.

Course conditions don’t match up with the pricing. Summer rates should be more affordable and expectations will be lower.

Almost all the area around the greens were under repair, with loose grass, sand traps torn up by a tractor and some were wet. I wish I would have known I would have booked elsewhere.

Played this course many times. Never coming back again. They rob you of your money. Course conditions were subpar. Booked for 6:30 am and had my wife ride with me. They charged extra for her to ride along even though it was only us in the group. No one else booked for that time. So why would they charge extra? Idk. Hundred dollars to play this course is not worth it.

First time playing the course this season. The conditions were pretty bad for it being this early in the summer. Pace of play was horrendous. We have 6 groups stacked up waiting at the tee box at one point. The Marshall was no help and even asked my group to play quicker when we were waiting at the tee box for the group in front of us to get off the green on a par 3. Sand traps were “under construction” and were torn up all around the perimeter. I don’t remember the course being this bad and was honestly shocked at the conditions for the price. Will probably not be playing here again this season. Expected better from Orange Tree.

This course has a traditional feel to it. My only complaint during my last round was the sand trap conditions, they could use some work. Other than that I recommend this course.

This course has good bones but conditions were poor. Dried out fairways with bare spots , several bunkers under construction repair, greens dead and bumpy. Booked 10 days in advance and paid $80 , 2 players who joined me said they paid $25 and $30 respectively. That pricing was more like what this course was worth. Felt like I was robbed. Played 3 other courses in Scottsdale and this was not even comparable. Will not play again!

The course wasn’t in good shape for the amount paid. Nice layout lots of potential.

I’ve played here for a while and I’ve seen it go through lots of management changes. Currently, seems to be operating at its best! Staff really nice and course great shape. I like the carts don’t have the “big brother” governs most courses have but I see why courses have implemented them,. The course fees can be inexplicably high in winter but prob due to its location. In summer, not bad. Great thing about OT is doesn’t feel like a desert course-lots of green and fauna!

The greens were full of fungus and many dirt patches through out all 18 holes. The sand was hard packed dirt. Ruined the hole by landing in them. Fairways need some attention. I am told this place used to be nice. The fee would indicate that it was going to be but it wasn’t.

Greens were puttable. Course conditions were just ok. Pace was painful. The bar and restaurant seemed really nice, as with the shack near the start. The on-course marshalls said to expect a long round. If only they had paid some people to take care of that.

Course was in good condition especially at this time of year .. early summer conditions prevailed .

Greens speed was good and moderate , they did hold with a proper iron shot.
