Course update

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

Sandy Greens

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.

Good value

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.

Course Condition Has Improved Over Last Year

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!

Orange Tree

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.

Hate following tournaments

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

First Time Playing

Afternoon at Orange Tree

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.

Great pace of play, conditions not the best

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.

Greens are much improved since I last played. Also, there were wet, soggy grass areas previously that have been taken care of.

Sunny Friday at Orange Tree

Very nice day with good friends at Orange Tree. Sunny and 75, perfect playing conditions. Course was in solid shape, fairways and greens in very nice condition. Pace of play was decent given we were surrounded front and back by two different bachelor parties. $200 for the round seems quite high to me, but given the time of year with Spring Training and Spring Break, you take what you can get. Staff were excellent across the board and the outdoor bar at the end of the round was a pleasant surprise. All in all a very nice day!

Slow

A bachelor party a few holes ahead of us severely slowed play for everyone. I quit after 9 holes

Easy peasy course

If you’re looking for an easy golf course that isn’t too expensive this is for you. It’s perfect for a 15+ handicap that just wants to have fun. Course was in good shape, greens were rolling nice and fairways were green. The driving range wasn’t anything to write home to mom about but it works. We got around in just over 3.5 hours but that’s not the norm. This course was perfect for my wife.
