Lots of hazards, mostly of the bunker variety,
and a terrific closing hole, which combines to
make Orange Tree one of the most affordable
and yet challenging courses in the Scottsdale
area. The tree- lined course, which winds
through the resort complex and the local area,
is a nice break from the desert courses that
define golf in the Valley of the Sun.
It tips out at 6,775 yards, and it sand plays
such a big part in the layout that it Seems like
every hole has at least four bunkers. There is
a good chance wayward shots are going to find
the sand some way or another.
