Awful Conditions

It was hard to find a decent patch of grass in the fairway. You're often hitting off dirt even after a good shot.

All the tee boxes are scorched.

Thank you for your note. Yes, most golf courses in AZ are fighting this very issue. It's called transition.

We look forward to your next visit when transition is complets.

You get what you pay for

it is still just June and the course looks like August. Lots of burned out areas on the fairway and many spots just bare dirt. Tee boxes were also just bare dirt on many holes. Bunkers for the most part had good sand. Glad I only paid $30 for the round

Thank you for playing Orange Tree Golf Resort. This part of the year the grasses are transitioning, it is common among golf courses in AZ. We aerated our tee boxes, and we are continuing to make improvements to all our bunkers. We look forward to your next visit.

Perfect Saturday

Got paired with two really fun players. Pace was good, Course was in decent shape--a couple of bunkers under repair and some thin grass in a few fairways, but that's to be expected in summer desert golf. Greens were decent. Overall, a lot of fun, some good golf, and all at a very friendly price. Will play again.

Rough shape

Played here on Saturday and the course is in pretty rough shape. The tee boxes aren’t bad, but the fairways have limited to no grass and in some spots are borderline concrete. There were a couple nice greens that ran true with limited bumps. Most of the course seems to be almost under repair. Maybe give this one a couple months to recover.

Terrible condition,

Don't waste your time as nothing good about this course as it's in terrible condition and not worth the cost of a green fee.

Orange tree is a fun course!!!

I walked in the door of the clubhouse and was greeted by an enthusiastic upbeat young man who went out of his way to explain everything I needed to know since this was my first time here.

That guy understands customer service!

The practice range was decent and the starter friendly and helpful.

I really like the course layout. I like the trees and ponds and the lines I needed to take to the center of the fairways made sense to me.

Fair warning, there is there is some work being done the bunkers on one of the holes on the front nine. I am all for course maintenance and improvement so good for them. I hope this is part of an overall plan that continues.

There are some places with thin grass on a few fairways but they are watering and it is summer in the desert!

I will be back soon for more of this course!

Bunker's are still work in progress after 1 year...

The Sand Traps are under construction since over 1 year! The first 5 Greens have huge dead spots on the greens... Played the course many times the last years. This comes close to the worst conditions in the summer. Pace of play was great and I played well even the greens are bumpy.

Subpar

Course conditions don’t match up with the pricing. Summer rates should be more affordable and expectations will be lower.

Course conditions

Almost all the area around the greens were under repair, with loose grass, sand traps torn up by a tractor and some were wet. I wish I would have known I would have booked elsewhere.

Will never be back

Played this course many times. Never coming back again. They rob you of your money. Course conditions were subpar. Booked for 6:30 am and had my wife ride with me. They charged extra for her to ride along even though it was only us in the group. No one else booked for that time. So why would they charge extra? Idk. Hundred dollars to play this course is not worth it.
