Orange Tree Resort

Course was excellent, but the greens were in rough shape.

The course conditions were awful. The greens are egregiously unacceptable and unplayable. They should be ashamed of taking people’s money and not being fully transparent about the shape of their course at the time of booking. I didn’t think to read the recent Google reviews prior to booking as I’ve played there several times before and it was fine. But in hindsight, it’s clear that they have been struggling to maintain this course for some time based upon similar reviews.

My group played McCormick Ranch the day prior and for the same price it is top to bottom a better value, superior course conditions, and better overall golf experience than playing at Orange Tree.

I always had high regards for Orange Tree a local Scottsdale hidden gem, but unfortunately, my group won’t be back as there are simply better options.

I've played this course a dozen times in the last few years and this is the worst shape I've seen it in. It's generally in decent condition and I'm generally pleased with the moderate price for a fun layout, a decent value for the area. Usually one of the cheaper options, But this go-round several of the greens didn't seem to have a lot of grass on them, More like putting on hard packed mud with a little seed sprinkled on it and some green paint.. Whole course was soaked and puddles everywhere, maybe the greens are being regrown or something I have no idea. Also No. 9 was closed becasue they flooded the fairway from the adjacent pond, so we only got 17 holes. someone in charge is asleep at the wheel here. Bummer, maybe I'll try again in the summertime.

Played this morning and greens were extremely patchy and in-consistent. Some greens were hard and fast covered in mud spots or they were soft and slow or covered in sand. Course layout was okay, and fairways were alright. Some spots are pretty wet and muddy. I definitely do not recommend this course for this price. This course is very overpriced.

Let me start by saying I live in the neighborhood and have played here dozens of times. Not anymore. AVOID. The greens are TERRIBLE. They all have a fungus. The fairways were all soaked and clearly haven’t been cut in days. We talked to the ranger about the greens, he admitted they overseeded early this year and after the 110° + temps, they overwatered causing the fungus. Can’t believe we paid $96 to play here. Actually, they discounted to $91 since we could not play Hole #9 due to the pond flooding.

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
