Not What I Expected!

Course is just opening after a couple of weeks being closed. Fairways are very spotty…need some grass. Tee boxes were not too bad…had been in same spots for some time…really worn out. Greens were not good! Very slow and something had to be wrong with the mowers…lots of choppy marks left by mowers and greens need some more grass in spots. I was looking forward to a nice course after reading the description on their webpage. I was disappointed with what I had to play on….this is my second bad experience on Orange Tree…2 years ago had a similar outing. Probably will spend my money elsewhere.

Slowest greens ever

A decent routing with the slowest greens I've EVER experienced. Course is a little rough in spots with many bare spaces but I've seen worse.

A decent routing in need of some TLC.

Where was the fairways

All of the fairways and tee boxes were mud and very little grass. I'm not sure what happened to this usually beautiful course, I have played here a handful of times and have never seen it in this poor of condition. Was over priced for the poor condition of the course.

Mud fairways

The course is in terrible shape. The fairways have little to no grass, and in a blind effort to grow more they are watering like crazy, so you are hitting off of mud all day. The only place to find grass is in the rough. Couple this with greens that are so slow you have to jackhammer 6ft putts. No part of the round is enjoyable. $80 green fees. 115°. 4-1/2 round. $8 Coors. And terrible course conditions.

Poor fairways.

Love this course but condition of fairways is terrible as of July 5 2024. Hard to find grass. But I’ll keep playing here as like the layout and wide fairways.

Good course layout. Bad grass at the moment.

Fairways and tee boxes have little to no grass at the moment. It is actually better to hit off of the rough. Prices are alright but for the grass conditions I’d play somewhere else. My shoes and clubs were covered in mud by the end.

Paying to play dirt fairways

Absolute goat track, I feel like Orange tree robbed me. The course is in terrible condition and they have the audacity to still charge $60. Every fairway was mud and dirt. Do not waste your money here.

Needs Work

Greens were in good shape but fairways were burned up and severely over watered. Tee boxes had little grass on most holes.

Disappointing based on previous conditions of the course

I can’t believe I gave this place my money.

I’ve never seen a golf course in worse shape in my entire life. It’s summer and conditions are going to be less than ideal. I get that. But there’s summer conditions, and then there’s whatever this place has going on. Every tee box was mud, over-grown, or a combination of the two. The fairways were maybe 10% grass. In their defense, it looked like the tees and fairways were recently punched. However, there was no mention of that online or in the clubhouse, and I’d take a freshly punched course over this 10/10. Definitely take your money elsewhere.

Course is a joke

The fact they are still charging $70 for a round here is criminal. I’ve been playing summer golf in AZ for 5 years now, and this course was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen. There wasn't a single fairway or tee box with grass, it is all mud. They clearly don’t care whatsoever about maintaining the course. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, play somewhere else. Anywhere else would be better than this place.
