Orange Tree Resort

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.

Summer rates make this course a great value. We enjoyed the course layout and the fairways are player friendly. Greens are in good condition, well worth looking at this course for your next round.

FUN. Vert playable, course was in very nice shape. Will definatly play again.

The course is in good shape and I enjoyed playing here.

Greens were a bit grainy and uphill putts needed to be putted extremely hard.

Its a fun course, well kept, the pace was ok but we had 3 bachelor parties in front of us, when we caught up withe them, the marshall told us to start again to hole 1, so we played 27 holes that round, fun course.
