Orange Tree Resort

Great value. Greens were excellent and pace of play great. Fairways a little thin

No water in coolers throughout the course...no personel attending any refreshment areas other than the bar...course in terrible shape

We went to play 18 holes started at approximately 4:30. By the time we got to the 13th hole it was 7 o’clock. At 7:15 supposedly they close the back nine. So we could not finish around. They literally changed it off. Told the boy about it and he says it closes at 7:15. I told him we were there at 7 o’clock and I called the pro shop at 7:03. Didn’t seem to phase him. He just said grab our cartons and have a good day.. The drop behind us, Top at 6:30 on whole number 10. Paid to play the back nine made it to Hall 13 and they couldn’t go further. Left a message with the pro shop no reply.

It has been a few years since I last okayed this track and I will not be back again anytime soon. When spending $100 in June, one would think the course to be in decent condition. That was so not the caee Saturday. The fairways were a combination of dirt and mud with little to no grass. The tee boxes were much the same. There are other opportunities to golf in Phx in the summer, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

For a “Golf Resort” this place has potential based on location and course layout. But the conditions from the fairways to greens and bunkers it’s just not worth the price they charge. Especially when it’s during the winter or fall they charge as if it’s the same quality of TROON. They need to start investing more money into the condition of the course from the grass and so on. Even if you have a great shot off the tee and find the fairway you’ll end up seeing the lie of your ball on hard, dry dirt that makes the play if the ball super difficult to hit since it feels like concrete. Wouldn’t recommend playing here anymore would rather go to Starfire or any other courses reasonably priced with better conditions.

Course was extremely dry with no fault of the staff. It was hot 108, they were watering while we were playing but it was just too hot. We even saw 2 coyotes looking for water on the course.I had to change my reservation and Thanks to Chance he was able accommodate me with another time. Overall I think the course would have been much nicer if it wasn’t so hot, can be expected in Arizona this time of year. We will play later on in the year for sure.

Not bad for the money. Get used to having to hit the ball twice as hard as you normally would on putts. Friendly staff, and we went around in 3 1/2 hours.

Fairways were full of dirt and dead grass. Greens were ok but had lots of debris making your ball bounce.

Our first experience at Orange Tree was great! We will definitely return.. The course is flat so no awkward feet placement. There is beautiful shade.

Experienced golfers will enjoy but good for not so skilled, as well. Only a little water & sand. Staff was helpful, especially the starter, Chuck. Lunch was great too at course restaurant. Great patio with misters in the summer.

Was all excited about having a 5am Saturday morning tee time on a wonderful course. Drove the 40 min and thought it was kinda strange the parking lot was empty. Walked to the clubhouse and it was locked, I did see a sign stating they opened at 6. After about 15 min did see a staff member who confirmed to me that their earliest tee time was 604. I showed him my reservation which clearly showed a 5am tee time. He apologized not knowing how this could happen. Anyway i finally got to tee off at 555 before a 4some behind me. Golf and everything else was fantastic!!!

I wrote a review of the course over the last 4-5 years, noting that it should be embarrassed to call itself a "golf resort." This was because of rock-hard traps and "silly" painted rocks that marked tee boxes. That's now changed, with sand in the bunkers and professional tee markers. The course was groomed well. The greens remain a "challenge," as do the tee boxes--far too many are not flat, which could easily be changed leaving you to hit "downhill" or "uphill."

Course was in good condition, greens were very fast and true. Stopped for breakfast and it was fantastic.
