Not in the shape I havebeen used to

Would always play OT several times during my previuos visits and always found the conditions to be excellent. Not so much this year.. Tees, fairs and some greens were not to the same standard I have been used to. Not sure what the issue is, that being said the course is still very playable and enjoyed my round there. Chuck the started was a pleasure to deal with as was with all staff.

Disappointing

Expected better course conditions and design. Had heard good things, but did not live up to hype. Carts were gas , and were very dirty.

Average course but got good deal so worth it

Average course , little dry and bare in spots. Players should be fixing divots but obviously we’re not. Pace ok but not great , waited most holes few mins, at one point we were asked to pick up speed and had to point out we are the ones waiting on Tee and if we hit the ball we would hit those in front of us, just seemed like course Marshall a little panicked by others comments on slow play.

Gem in the Valley

If you are looking to play a more traditional course with trees and water. Orange Tree is a very nice layout. Very forgiving fairways. Bunkers need work. But beyond that a good course for locals and someone not wanting to spend $200 a round on to play.

Overall OK

I was paired with three very nice ladies in town for a wedding. The course is in average to fair condition for the most part. Tee boxes could use a little work. Greens were in fair to good condition. The Ranger was Borderline rude,. We tried to play at the fast as possible pace, but he kept checking on us which made for a somewhat annoying experience throughout the round.

The course definitely shows its age but presented a fair mix of challenges throughout. they have a very nice Pro Shop and friendly card attendants. I would return, but would like to play other courses first. A little pricey given the age and condition of the course, but probably fair for the area and time of year. overall I did have a pretty good experience.

Overseed conditions

Course was generally nice. Greens were in good shape and had some tricky rolls. There were some very wet spots that resulted in mud lies that were almost unplayable. This was particularly evident in several of the bunkers.

Outside staff

The starter was very unfriendly to the golfers. One player even asked him if he got up on the wrong side of bed. We both found him very unpleasant. Pro shop employees were very friendly.as was the course ranger. I am trying to be kind but I am 73 and played on 73 of the best courses in US and this was the rudest starter I have run into. No reason, we’re not busy. He shouldn’t be in customer service.

Mediocre condition I expected better

I haven't played at Orange Tree Golf Club for a few years and was surprised at the mediocre condition of the course. Something must be going on financially because the condition of the course has declined significantly.

Fairways were inconsistent, some areas not in good shape, lots of muddy spots. Bunkers were terrible shape.
