Orange Tree Resort

We had a great time golfing with family on Christmas Eve!!

My sons and I play all over the Valley and we always enjoy golfing at Orange Tree. The course is beautiful and has a great vibe. And we love the Sports Bar and bartenders. The golf staff is excellent too.

Everything about the day was great except for the conditions of the greens. They are having some kind of fungus issue. Every green was different. A couple of the fairways were not mowed so they looked a bit like rough.

The people and amenities are top notch. They have everything you need for a fun outing.

I have played Orange Tree 50+ times and I used to really enjoy it. Lately it has been terrible. They blue dye all over the greens. Your shoes will be stained blue, clubs blue, and everything else you set down. Not worth the money lately.

i was completely surprised by how poor the condition the greens played. It is not worthy of playing.

THE GREENS FOR A REASON UNBEKNOWNST TO ME WERE JUST TERRIBLE. I’LL SAY THIS THE BACK WAS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE FRONT.

IM SURE THERES A GOOD REASON FOR THIS BUT NO STAFF MEMBER MENTIONED IT TO US.

I LIKE THE LAYOUT HOWEVER THAT WASNT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING, DISAPPOINTED.I LAST VISITED IN 23’ AND I CANT REMEMBER SUCH POOR GREENS.

HOPEFULLY THEY GET A GRIP ON THIS.

The course is beautiful and has a fun, challenging layout. The tee boxes, fairways and roughs were all in good condition. Unfortunately the greens were pretty awful. Several spots with no grass, a little muddy and sticky and really difficult to gauge the speed

Bad greens, fairways and tee boxes. Very friendly staff. Okay practice tee.

As always Orange Trees staff was awesome, the course however was the opposite. Fall overseed was a huge failure, to say the fairways and greens were a little thin on rye grass is a huge understatement. The course was extremely wet, obviously trying to grow more grass because they first attempt did not work. The fact that they try to make it up with dyes and paint really sucks when you trash a pair of expensive golf shoes because of this. Mother nature should make your overseas schedule, not a GM. Better luck next year

We played here on Sunday 12/08. Upon arriving, everything was great, however, after we tee'd off on hole 1, we noticed our balls were covered in green as were my new golf shoes. Come to find out they dye or paint some of the fairways and that coloring leaks all over you and your equipment and stains everything it touches. Many of the greens where also in terrible shape. They were patchy, ugly and not very smooth to putt on. After speaking with the marshal, he was super nice but he did confirm they were dealing with some issues that arose after annual overseeding and they are aware that the greens and fairways were not in very good shape. So I get that stuff happens sometimes when dealing with grass, however, if they know it's in a terrible shape, why are they still charging over $100 to play. They should at least be letting people know what to expect so they can make the decision if they want to spend the money and play there.

It took f4.5 hours to play 15 hol- it would have been 5.5 hours if we finished but hole 16 was backed up so we decided to call it a day - staff very friendly- course in poor shape- so paying what we paid definitely not a value proposition

This place is totally awesome except the greens are all jacked up. Some kind of fungus or something but very little grass on them.

I have played this course 3 times before and it always was in good shape. But this time it looks like they are losing some of their greens from probably over watering. I noticed the same conditions at two other courses I played.

Upon arrival, we were told that a fungus had infected several greens. They told us that 2 of them were pretty bad and the others were improving. I think 4 of them were pretty bad and the others were playable. This fungus will take quite a while to get rid of, so be aware of this condition and only pay what you deem appropriate for this problem. This is the high season in Scottsdale and greens fees are usually ridiculously overpriced.

As for the rest of the course, it was in good shape. A couple of tee boxes could use a little love, but overall nothing to get upset about.

The staff were friendly and courteous, except the starter. who tried to get us to tee off early. We showed up early so we could warm up. Ten minutes before our tee time he was trying to rush us to the tee box. We were just heading to the putting green. I told him our tee time was in 10 minutes and we proceeded to practice putt. I will not be rushed.
