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.

Good value

Price was right although there were 3 greens that were in really rough shape. Carts and pace of play were excellent.

Disappointing

the course has a great lay out but he condition of the course right now is very poor. The greens are very bad and they should not be charging people full rates to play the course that's how bad greens are.

I would not suggest playing this course.

I will never return to play it. Very disappointing.

Poor Conditions

The course was in terrible condition. Greens had patches of dirt and poorly maintained and the fairways were patchy. It’s too bad because I’ve watched this course get progressively worse. I will not play again.

Better Conditions Available Elsewhere

Friends recommended this course to us. Most of the greens were in terrible shape. The bunkers were not well groomed. We were 4 and played at 3:00pm. You could really tell it was a resort course (broken tees everywhere and no true tee boxes... the tee box markers were reversed on one of the holes). We won't choose this course again.

Total ripoff. You can’t putt, every city course is in much better shape. Every green is sand, how can they charge $130+?

Disappointing Greens

The greens are a mess. Several have multiple large bare areas. Location is good, staff is friendly and helpful. Fairways are, well, fair. But the greens are atrocious.

Blighted Greens

This was my first time playing Orange Tree - I found it online and it looked like a good course based on pictures and the course layout. Unfortunately, the conditions were far from the image that was presented. More than half of the greens were blighted to an extent that ruined any chance of a good experience. Paying anything more than 50% of the greens fees being charged would be too much. I was embarrassed that I was the one who suggested the course and made the teetime for my group.

Terrible Conditions On All Of The Greens

Every green had significant problems with no grass (only dirt) in many locations. The only exception to this was a small area of no grass on the right rear of the 18th green. There was obviously no attempt to fix and rectify the terrible putting conditions, since it was not limited to just a few greens. When checking in before the start of the round, the attendant at the Pro Shop did not mention anything about the condition of the greens. Orange Tree should refund at least half of the Green Fee to each player that has been subjected to the conditions of these greens. DO NOT PLAY HERE until they fix the surfaces of all of the greens.

The greens were the worse I have ever played on. I did move it often because of sandy areas and dead turf but that’s not golf!

Truly terrible course conditions

The clubhouse, facilities, amenities, and staff were all outstanding. Based on that, I expected a well maintained and managed course. Instead, these were the worst course conditions I experienced in Arizona, and frankly, anywhere I have golfed in years. The tee boxes were uneven and dry. The fairways were either overgrown or dead, with poor grass cover throughout. In places they were so overwatered that the carts bogged down. the approaches were cut to one length, no second cut, and they were like grass ledges The greens were the worst of the disastrous conditions. They were cut short in order to blend with the 5 ft stretches of bare dirt throughout. Absolutely unplayable. One of the course marshals told us that there had been an attempt to overseed at the beginning of the season with excessive watering, with led to a fungus that was dragged around to every hole. This course should be closed for major renovations of nearly every hole.

Terrible Greens and Slow Play & No on-course Refreshments.

We have played here before. Lots of trees some water and decent fairways.

Two major issues: Putting greens are in terrible condition and the whole course seems like it needs to be aerated. Large, rough, grassless patches on almost every green. Don’t know if the greens keeper should be fired or the management that didn’t shell out the money to manage the product. We paid $300 for two of us to play. They should have told us the course was in poor condition.

Cart girl showed up twice…once on the 2nd hole and once on the 17th hole. Should have seen her two more times during the round.

The play was slow on the front 9 and the back.

Felt like things should be better. Won’t be back until there are good reviews.

What happened to the Greens?

Greens were absolutely AWFUL.

We were told by pro shop that one/two greens were in Bad shape......how about 16 greens were in POOR shape at best & 2 were about disgraceful! The layout of the course is fine but really ! There was NOT 1 green with all grass.

Would have been better with having 18 temporary greens.
