The course at the Orange Tree Golf Resort provides an excellent game of golf in a luxurious setting. The Parkland-style layout features fairways lined with mature trees, which not only enhance the natural beauty of the golf course but can also greatly affect shots. Four lakes are situated on the flat terrain of the course, providing water hazards that come into play on five holes. Sand bunkers also surround every green. Orange Tree Golf Resort's course finishes with its signature hole, where water cuts into the fairway and proceeds to run down the left side all the way to the green. It also requires accuracy on the approach shot in order to hit the small putting surface that is surrounded by tricky elements.

Good value this time of year

Course was in good shape and played right before over seed preparations started. Greens rolled true and bunkers around the greens were in good shape. Enjoyed the round.

Awful pace of play and rude staff

Pace of play was awful. Left after playing 13 holes in 4.5 hours.

Marshall was extremely rude to our group. Yelled at us for playing slow, and told me I should be hitting when people were in fairway on a Par 5. We were waiting so we wouldn’t hit into another group. Marshall had no regard for player safety.

Tee times were like 4 minutes apart.

This place is a joke of a golf course, go play somewhere else.

Good Value

The hot summer caused for some bare spots in the fairway and the tee boxes, also the tee boxes could be flatter. One of the nice things is that the course was priced properly for the conditions. Not something that very many of the courses in the valley are doing this summer. Highly recommend. Great staff.

Best round this summer

Great to be welcomed back to Orange Tree after being away for almost a year. I love to see all of the changes that have occurred, and the course was in great shape. Everything started with a warm. Welcome from Thomas as he loaded our bags on to the cart. Nice to be remembered and treated so politely. This course has the feel of an old club. My wife and I will definitely be back for this upcoming season. Keep it up Orange Tree!!!

Overpriced

I played a better course in the east valley for 25% less.

Its a good track, but not worth $75 in August.

Not Worth The Money

Orange Tree used to be good, but as the course conditions have slightly declined the prices have sky rocketed. This is not a middle of summer $80 or winter $140 course but that’s what they charged. I the course is basically equal parts dirt and grass and several bunkers are under construction.
