Couldn't justify $169 greens fees!?

This course is a glorified muni...but one of my favorites for the value. I felt conditions in early April did not justify the $169 cost at 2:40pm! $69 would have been more than fair. Pace of play has been too slow the last few times I've played there...I end up just ending the round on 12th or 13th hole because it becomes ridiculous.

Great first impression

We didn't play well but it was not the course's fault! It was beautiful. We would certainly come back. We even got to start earlier than planned

Twice the price half the value

Same old Orange Tree but $150 pp. It’s such a shame to see the record rack rate when the course is understaffed, under repair, and under whelming. Hopefully the owners decide to reinvest some of the record revenues over the past few years into the course. Otherwise I won’t be back any time soon.

A Very Friendly Starter But Danger On The First Hole

The practice range is on the left of the first hole. There is no net on the right side of the range, so there were a lot of practice balls on the first fairway. That is a very dangerous situation. The overall pace of play was four hours and twenty minutes, because the group in front of us was at least two holes behind the group in front of them after the front nine. The rangers were not able to get that group to play faster. The pace of play for this course should be no more than four hours. The sand in many of the the greenside bunkers needs to be replaced.

Play this course on a regular basis on my. Vacation trips. Found the course to be in excellent condition, much better than when I played it in Novemeber.. Went out as a 2some, first group out, played in less than 3 hours. Thanks to Deano. In pro shop for his courtesy and professionalism.

Good but slow

Good shape for a older course but the pace got real slow like a 4:40 round And the Marshall could have done such a better job

BK at Orange Tree

I’ve played here for many years. Starting back in the late 80’s. One of the premier courses back then.

Honestly, the place seems to be going down hill from previous years. The pro shop staff were cold, kinda like I was interfering in other things they were doing. Maybe “Hi, welcome to Orange Tree or Welcome back would have worked 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

No one at Bag Drop. Have to ring a buzzer now for help? Really? I carried them in.

Back shop employee probably the only one did a great job getting me set up in my cart and after my round cleaning my clubs and getting them out to the bag drop.

Starters and Marshals were great and accommodating with good information to share.

The course was in great shape but not that super shape that warrants these high tee time prices. You’ve really jacked them up since Covid. Probably like most trying to make up your money back in just a few winters 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If you’re charging these rates or more next winter/spring then I won’t be back. Lot’s of courses out there competing for the golfers $$’s.
