Orange Tree Resort

One of the worst golf experiences that I have had in a long time. Course is in horrible shape. Fairways were extremely burnt, tee boxes were horrible. Pace of play was beyond a joke. Why have marshalls if they can’t enforce pace of play. Overall, just a crappy Sunday of golf.

Course play was fast and course was forgiving. Staff friendly and great value for the course

We golfed after having our annual Marilynn Smith Legacy Pro Am & Tea at Kierland Golf course. It was a great way to honor Ms. Smith's legacy by playing the course she lived on! I loved the older trees and flower beds, the layout is pretty straight forward, and the greens rolled true. The staff was AMAZING and helpful. Thank you Orange Tree!

I know it's the time of year when the grass is changing, so the course conditions did not surprise me. There were many tight lies which made chipping challenging. The greens were very fast. But, the pace of play was perfect. The surrounding area is beautiful. And the layout was really fun. I will definitely be back.

Great weather

Staff was great

Marshals were seen many times and they always stopped to ask how things were going

I must have 75-100 rounds in at Orange Tree. I get the transition from season to season can effect the course conditions. BUT yesterday I was VERY disappointed with OT. Tee boxes were a disaster. Fairways were a disaster burned out and very dry.. Greens were good. It seems like they forgot to water the course for a week. I don't see me playing there again very soon. THAT bums me out because my wife and I love this course.

Everything was all in all good, the greens were in very good condition the fairways were in good condition…

This course has seen better days. There are many bare spots. Some tee boxes are mostly sand filled from over use. Greens would benefit from being rolled. I've played this historic course for more than 30 years. Shade trees are a benefit over desert courses. Many trees are dead and suffer from neglect. Fortunately, most of fairways were free of leaves that might otherwise make finding a white ball hard to find. The cost for this course is much higher than the golf value it provides. This course is capable of supporting fees in the high $100s approaching $200 if management put more care into course maintenance.

The fairways were in good condition. The greens were super dry and hard and fast. The pace of play was super slow. Got to 10 and had three groups on the tee waiting to go.

Course was in pretty good condition. A couple of fairways had been recently aerated, but otherwise, no complaints. Greens were in great shape.

No warm fuzzies from pro shop staff ( I’ve seen happier people on jury duty) but kudos to Chuck, the starter. He is always friendly - he remembers your name and makes you feel like a member of a private club.

The pace of play was excellent thanks to Ranger Mike. Another very friendly and engaging person on the Orange Tree staff.
