Orange Tree Resort

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.

Last year 2025 course conditions were poor. Significant improvements this year especially greens. Put the course back in our rotation.

Very good value for the money. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of food and beverage options. Course was in good shape.

Greens were very sandy creating slow greens and not much breaks in greens. Some areas in fairways were overwatered making muddy shots. Would like to have played when course was in better condition.

Have played this course several times over the last few years. It's in much better shape than last year. Greens are back to normal and were fine. Staff were very friendly, the starter Chip was great to chat with.

Overall good value for the price we paid.

I have always found Orange Tree to be good value., but they have raised their game this year by improving course conditions. A tip of the hat to the course management staff!

Great experience in Arizona heat. Staff very helpful and friendly. Course improvements noted. Gentleman’s tees flat, rather than a mountain goat’s home. Playable and relaxing layout.

Why do these places think its okay to sell tee times 10 minutes after a tournament goes off. Two holes we had to stop play and let them come back and replay the holes...we waited 10 to 15 minutes on every tee, then several minutes on several of the fairways...took over 5 hours to play 18. The driving range leaves a little to be desired for a resort golf course

Was able to start earlier than our 1:16 pm tee time thanks to the kind starter. Our two-some was able to complete 18 holes in 3.5 hours so pace of play was great. I found lots of sand in my round but the course played fair. It was a 105 degree day in March and the beverage cart met us three times which was sufficient.

The fairway was in great condition but there was a lot of dirt patches if you strayed.

Despite the unseasonable warm temperatures, I had an enjoyable 18 holes at Orange Tree. Very good course.

Challenging yet fair course

Greens are a little dry

Wise course to play for the money

Staff are excellent especially the Canadian from Saskatchewan

The conditions were below average here, greens ran at different speeds some greens had some spots that were dead from disease or something. Not many areas like that. For the price this course wasn’t worth it.
