Needs Improvement

The course has possibilities with a complete redo starting with tee boxes thru the greens. The maintenance facilities look horrible. Can’t recruit good people with old equipment and poor work area. The shop was fine. Good marketing for the happy hour and restaurant area. You could attract a younger age demographic with an improved practice area and better pricing. John Jacob’s has a good reputation but can’t believe they could get much traction with that practice facility. Won’t be back unless money is put back into the club.

Orange Tree is Trying to Improve

Even though OT has been rebuilding their bunkers, they need to be deep raked weekly as the course watering packs the "sand" down and they become hard packed just under the surface. Additionally, because there are NO GPS's on the carts, a player must use a laser device--but the pins have no reflectors. It would be nice to have better tee box markers--the pieces of tree limbs (with painted ends--and rocks for the most forward tees) look tacky for a GOLF RESORT!

Wide Fairways

The greens were excellent and the fairways were wide. The night before we had rain so the course was wet overall and kind of muddy in places. The tee off blocks were very flat and in goo d shape. I would play again but kind of pricey.

Soggy experience

It was a rainy and cool day. Cart path only and lots of standing water. Would like to go back and play it in better conditions. Good layout, but sand wasn’t very good (mostly clay).

Enjoyable Round on a Soggy Course

Course was likely over-watered since we hadn't had rain for a couple of weeks. Course is great value for the money.

Always enjoy a round at Orange Tree

We play here on every trip to Az. Fun with enough challenges, especially the greens. Can’t believe the prices in Az these days. Ouch!

Nice course with excellent pace of play

I was part of a twosome that was following a threesome and we rarely had to wait. I know this can change quickly depending on who is on the course. Nice layout for all skill levels.

Front 9 fairways not yet filled in from the reseed.

The bunkers could do with a good deep raking since the ones I experienced are hard packed under the initial cover so need to pick rather than splash. Greens ok.

Uninspiring

Old course, uninteresting, skimpy grass on fairways, poor bunkers and a $20 rider fee for my wife to ride along👹
