Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort is a Resort, 18 hole golf course located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort's golf course first opened for play in 1957. The golf course was designed by Lawrence M. Hughes and Johnny Bulla.
This resort golf course was once an exclusive private club. The fairways are lined with palm trees and tropical foliage. Four lakes that come into play on five holes. The terrain is mostly flat. There are 75 sand bunkers located along the fairways and greenside. Many of the greens allow bump and run opportunities because the bunkers are not directly in front of the holes.
This is true resort golf course - playable for golfers of all skill levels. Many holes feature spectacular mountain backdrops, especially on the back side.
Three sets of tees play to distance and slopes that measure 6775 yards/121 slope, 6371 yards/117 slope, and 5701 yards with a slope of 122 for women.
As the slope ratings indicate, this is a player friendly layout - and one of the most traditional designs in Arizona (originally created in 1957 from farm fields and an orange grove - redesigned in 1977)
