Orange Tree Resort

Bunkers were terrible; sand like concrete; impossible to dig under the ball

I'm not sure what millennium the bunker/traps were last dug up and conditioned, but I've been playing OT for the last 15 or so years. The bunker/traps are constantly cement underneath an "appearance" of being raked--the bear surface so there is a "trace" of rake marks. Therefore, a bunker shot can go 3 feet or 40 yards. A shame and this characteristic ruins an other wise good track!

Course is in really good shape and pace of play was quick. Nicole in the golf shop was friendly, but the starter was a grump and the beverage cart girl was none too friendly and was more interested in her phone than helping customers.

Booked this on Golf Now not knowing much about the course. The course was very well kept. It has a good deal of trees lining the fairways but the fairways are generous. The greens were in good shape but were very challenging. There was a great deal of undulation in the greens and some of the pin placements made putting almost impossible.

The pace of play was 4 hours. This made for a very enjoyable day on the course. The starter, Chuck, was very friendly and spent some time talking to us before we started our round. He was good at describing the course before we played and his description was very true.

I thought the price was too high for the course. I paid $150 a round. I would pay $100 a round to play it again but I wouldn’t spend $150 to play this course again.

Overall good day!

Great course for the money; I have played this course most times when I'm in Scottdale and have enjoyed each time. Wide fairways but guarded greens make approach shots challenging.

My first trip to Orange Tree in 3 years was a great day! Friendly staff, challenging but playable course, in outstanding condition! Even the bunkers were quite playable, unlike most courses here in Maricopa county! A bit pricey, but it was a Saturday morning in peak season. Lunch menu was somewhat limited, but the food was good. I definitely intend to play here again!

Nice course and great pace of play. I think that it is little overpriced. Cost of golf is definitely increasing and always seems to be available tee times here.. If the price doesn’t scare you it is a good course.

I enjoyed this course, it was close to my condo and the pace of play was very good. It was disappointing there were. No amenities to enjoy afterword.

No place to wet towels that we could see.

Sand traps were mostly packed dirt instead of playable sand.
