4. Our Golf Course

4.1 Course Layout

Orange Tree Golf Club has an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Johnny Bulla in 1957. The course is 6,762 yards long with a par of 72. It has four sets of tees for players of different skill levels:

Tee	Par	Yards	Rating	Slope
Blue	72	6,740	71.1	124
White	72	6,344	69.3	119
Copper	72	5,666	66.2	111
Orange (W)	72	4,777	66.5	113

The course has wide fairways and small greens with bunkers. The greens slope from back to front, making putting tricky.

4.2 Key Features

1. Signature Holes:

   • Hole #1: Par 5, hardest hole on the course. Players should aim their second shot to the right side of the fairway.
   • Hole #11: Par 3, looks harder than it is. It's best to aim for the right side of the green.
   • The Loop: Holes #16, #17, and #18 make up a tough finish to the round.

2. Water Hazards: Six holes have water hazards. Holes 9 and 18 are known for their water challenges.

3. Trees: The course has many tall, old trees along the fairways. This makes it feel like a Midwest course, even though it's in the desert.

4. Mountain Views: Players can see Camelback Mountain while they play.

   • Driving Range: 300 yards long, 80 yards wide, with grass tees all year

The Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau gave the club a Green Award for these efforts.

4.5 Tips for Playing

• The course is hard for beginners. It's better for players with some experience.
• Watch out for the rough. It's very thick and hard to hit from.
• Ladies' tees make some holes easier. For example, on Hole 13, it changes from 580 yards to 459 yards, avoiding a water hazard.
