Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort

Greens were very inconsistent! The course was forgiving and challenging! Bunkers needed real sand. On some of the greens the pin location was place on areas of green that had no grass or was burnt from too much fertilizer. If your Tee time was later than 10, count on very slow pace of play! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was FUN! I will definitely give it another try😉

Amenities, staff, etc. we’re all very good. Pace of play good, as not very crowded. However, Overall course conditions were disappointing for price. Would not play here again unless price significantly reduced. Paid $89 and back home in Illinois this would be a $45 course on a Monday.

I booked the tee time for a stay and play. It was fantastic and my wife got to see my drive by. It was great to have the convenience of not driving to the course!

Round was good, especially considering it is “overseeding season”. Pace was reasonable.

Sand traps were the worst I have seen on this course. I noticed that some traps were being worked on but I hope that all traps will be re-done.

I understand that you had just come out of overseed and that it was cart path only but a 5 plus hour round is ridiculous.

Overall a decent course. Not fancy but everything was pretty much straight out in front of you.

Only issue we’re the greens were extremely slow.

Golfed here several times and it's been positive each time. Over-seeding and rain created some issues but overall it was a good experience again.

Almost $100 to play this flat simple course.

Conditions were not near good enough to charge this much.

Never again

Having played the course for 8 or 9 years, out of frustration, I finally wrote to the “owner” of Orange Tree about a year, year and half ago noting that the Bunker's & Tee Boxes were or should be an embarrassment, especially since Orange Tree bills itself as a “golf resort.” The bunkers were consistently hard as rocks because they had little to NO sand and finding a “level” spot on a tee boxes also was frustrating.

I played Oct. 11, 2022. Although there is an apparent “attempt” to redo the bunkers (deep digging), except for a few, most of the bunkers are being redone with, at best, crappy “sand/dirt.” Even the other average courses in the Phoenix valley have far better bunkers. The material being used get watered daily, which compacts quickly packs them rock hard. Not only is this frustrating to a player, it also often results in chunky shots or skulls across the greens. Based my previous experience here, the bunkers also do not get at least a weekly deep rake by the maintenance staff, which at least would help to a degree.

Unfortunately, while there is some restoration/updating being on the course, this does not seem to apply to tee boxes. A reasonable “level” area to tee from should be undertaken, especially since this is a course for average golfers. Additionally, there are "dead" areas on some tee boxes that should be dug up and replaced with sod.

Finally, the overall Orange Tree facility continues to come across as a tired relic of the 1950s.

Play there yesterday… I think they just reopened after over seating it was carpet hallway which they didn’t disclose when I made the reservation. A pushcart was a better option than running a cart… Fairways in good shape greens very slow and cut inconsistently.. At 1:15 on the first hole the beverage cart approached us and said she was leaving and if we wanted anything to drink we could get it at the snack shack at the turn.. When we got to return the snack shack was closed We then went to the clubhouse where it took 15 minutes to get service

Cart path only with no consideration for scheduling or cost. Wedding party on the 18th fairway.

A nothing much course. Uninteresting but cheaper than most. Ok to use as a practice ground as wide open but not challenging. Course condition ok apart from greens and around the hole was very poor.

Staff completely uninterested. No one at bag drop or even at entry area. Shop staff couldn’t even bothered to say hi.

Will use as practice but not a good experience
