Orange Tree Resort

Given past few years of reviews I was really happy. Course in great shape. Seriously, better signage in the parking lot

Played here on October 28, 2025 as a single, got paired with a threesome. The ranger on the first tee did a great job keeping pace of play on track, and it was nice seeing the Ranger monitor the course throughout. Even with cart-path-only conditions, nine holes took less than two hours. The course was lush, green, and in great shape — definitely worth the $80. Only downside was some noise from nearby home construction, but overall, above average experience.

So I live this course although last year I had to stop playing it cause of how bad the greens got especially on holes 5 and 16. I played the course on Wednesday October 22nd I believe within a week after reopening from overseed. The course is in great condition the greens look great especially improved on hole t and 16. These is still way for improvement on 16 green on the back left side but compared to last year 200% better. As I don't write a lot of reviews figured people would want to read this if they visited Orange Tree in the past year to give it another go. I forgot to take photos otherwise I would have attached

First off, the gentleman in the pro shop was super nice, which is a great way to get the day started. This course was in terrible shape last year and early this year but the new superintendent has things going in the right direction 100%. Just came out of overseas, so the fairways were just a little long as were the greens, but all of the grass, including the roof, is in excellent shape. In a week or two, this course will be 100% perfect. And just to be clear, we fully expected the fairways and greens to be a little long. Not an issue whatsoever.

Course recently reopened with winter grass. It was cart path only, but pace of play was still great, we played under four hours, with foursomes ahead of us. Marshalls did a great job monitoring everyone. Greens were in great condition, bunkers were a little wet. Overall, great value.

Well maintained with wide fairways. Player friendly.

This is a beautiful course. Lots of old growth. Good lay out and if your in play you should be okay. Do not wear breathable shoes. You’ll need water proof shoes. They keep this course soaking wet at all times and you can be plugged in the middle of the fairway. Green are interesting but do speed up as it drys but still pretty slow. 4 hour round is a decent pace. Rangers and staff are polite and happy to help. I just wish that they improved the drainage because my goodness it’s a swamp.

The latest superintendent of greens is making a big difference. Most of the greens have made significant progress since his arrival. Nice job improving them.

The course needs a good mow and cleanup in the rough areas. Possible rain this week prevented it from happening?

Chuck is a great starter. Very friendly.

I’ve played this course probably 50 times in the last 20 years. The last three times I’ve been there, the pro shop wasn’t open when I showed up to pay and tee off. So I have a 6:20 teatime, at 6:10 the pro shop isn’t open. Happens over and over. The rough was so deep that you couldn’t find any golf balls. But yet pace of play is important, right?!?! I tried to give feedback the director of Golf and all he had was excuses about why he can’t do his job. It’s too bad. I love the layout. I like the course, but they have no idea how to run a golf course. Avoid it all costs. 90 bucks for a hassle and frustration, don’t do it. I will say that the starter Chuck is amazing, the woman who runs the drink cart is super friendly, the woman in the halfway house is also super friendly. This is a leadership problem not a staff problem. Please do better Orange Tree, please!

The course is in great shape considering the sweltering heat. Well maintained and cared for. The sports bar has very good food and cold drinks. Play soon before they close for overseeding in September. Great rates until then!

Came back after the greens were fixed. Definitely back to normal. A bit slow but rolling. Great staff and price
