Lush and Green

Loved this course and honestly there was no one else around middle of an August day, which means they are probably charging too much for a round in a Phoenix summer.

Everything was beautiful except a locked bathroom near the end of our 18 holes.

Fairways and greens were in great condition. We happened upon a great deal but if management wanted to do a little better, make green fees lower during summer so Phoenicians can appreciate the beauty of a PV course.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond regarding our course. We apologize for the locked bathrooms; we usually lock these late in the evening, and it may have been an oversight on our part or that of a guest.

At this time of year, we're always running some deals for the best rates, so we hope to see you back out here again soon before we shut down in late September.

Best regards,

Darren Bradley

Very fun course for summer play

The course was solid and inexpensive. The summer rate is very cheap and it was a great round. The grass conditions were moderate. Great fairways and tee boxes but the greens were a bit inconsistent. Some in better shape than others. I’d give fairways / rough a 4/5 but the greens a 2/5 (using AZ summer golf 5 scale).

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.
