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.

BK at Orange Tree

I’ve played here for many years. Starting back in the late 80’s. One of the premier courses back then.

Honestly, the place seems to be going down hill from previous years. The pro shop staff were cold, kinda like I was interfering in other things they were doing. Maybe “Hi, welcome to Orange Tree or Welcome back would have worked 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

No one at Bag Drop. Have to ring a buzzer now for help? Really? I carried them in.

Back shop employee probably the only one did a great job getting me set up in my cart and after my round cleaning my clubs and getting them out to the bag drop.

Starters and Marshals were great and accommodating with good information to share.

The course was in great shape but not that super shape that warrants these high tee time prices. You’ve really jacked them up since Covid. Probably like most trying to make up your money back in just a few winters 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If you’re charging these rates or more next winter/spring then I won’t be back. Lot’s of courses out there competing for the golfers $$’s.

Much improved

Course was in much better shape than when I played it back in November. Been playing this course for the past 10 years, often times multiple times during my visits. And always enjoy it, very fair and challenging. Tees, fairways and greens were ingreat shape. They are redoing a few of theirs bunkers-no big deal, free drop, GUR!

Value is on par with other courses in the area. Nothing cheap out there.

Went out as a twosome first thing. Less than three hours to play.

Thanks to Deano, Director of Golf Operations for being so professional and welcoming. Same goes for Mike the starter.

Will defintely play again.

Thankyou to Deano

Solid course with below avg practice facilities

Course in great shape and accommodates all skill levels. Disappointing range and no separate chipping area. First time I’ve paid nearly $300 w/o range balls included

Good playable course

Everything was top notch except there weren’t enough distance markers other than at 150. If you aren’t going to provide GPS on carts, then there should be more distance markers.

I feel all of the courses in the Valley are getting too expensive.

Old style friendly course but with bunker placement challenges approaching greens.

Greens are relatively fast and consistent.

Traps rebuild is good enhancement..

Scottsdale in the Spring

I’ve been playing this course for 20years and it’s a nice layout and forgiving. I’ve noticed the lack of maintenance has progressively gotten worse over the years but the greens and tee boxes are still pretty nice.

Lack of yardage markers

Inasmuch as there isn’t GPS on the carts, it should be obvious to course management that yardage markers on the fairways would be helpful

Great course condition

The course was in great condition. My only suggestion is that it would be nice to have 100-yard markers since the carts don’t have GPS. It seems like it would be a simple, inexpensive improvement
