Standards Have Decreased

Orangetree used to be a good course. The course is now in terrible condition, much grooming is needed and putting greens are a mess.

Greens issue

Decent layout and good pace of play. Quite a few greens were in bad shape with no grass in areas creating bare/dirt spots.

Use to be nice

Orange tree used to be a nice course. The t boxes were questionable (lots of grass free areas), the fairways were ok, the greens were terrible. Many large areas on the greens with only sand.

I realize they're transitioning from winter to summer but the conditions were far beyond acceptable.

Go somewhere else!

Go somewhere else! Very disappointed in the upkeep of the course. Dead patches on most of the greens. Definitely not worth the cost. Use to be a fun well maintained course but not anymore.

Course in BAD shape

BEWARE!!! Had to go out without paying as the pro shop staff decided not to show up. Then just about EVERY green had dead patches on them making it impossible to play on the green. The fairways were worse than any cheap city course. Staff was unprofessional and didn’t care about the golfers concerns. Disappointing because it use to be a very nice and well maintained course.

Not worth the money…. Worth about $25 bucks at the most.

Note When Sanding Has Taken Place

Very dry. Greens had 'Sand Puddles' on them and not much grass. Fairways were very sparse. It is May. It has been dry and we paid a very cheap price. It was not totally unexpected but worse than I thought it would be.

Super friendly staff; open course layout

The course is very friendly to beginning in eater, intermediate level players. In the staff, especially Wayne, is super friendly.

Unfortunately, the course itself is in pretty rough shape. Where some of the greens were really really bad.

First Time Playing

Putter 59

This course might have been good at one time! This should be an embarrassment to the owners and greenskeeper!

Where are they putting the green fee money ,it is not going into the course!

I will have to be paid to play here again!

Have played it last year when it was in better shape. Greens were not in good shape due to repair areas and sanding.
