Orange Tree Golf Resort

10

Talk about traditional - this Arizona luxury golf resort was once an orange grove. That gives its 18-hole beauty an extra-lush, green quality that belies its Scottsdale, AZ surroundings. It’s a traditional, parkland-style layout that refreshes even as it challenges.

Average population From Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, follow the sign for SR 51 (Squaw Peak Expressway). Proceed north on the SR 51 for approximately 13 miles taking the Shea Blvd. exit. Turn right (east) on Shea Blvd. approximately 2.5 miles to 56th Street. Turn left (north) on 56th Street. The entrance to Orange Tree Golf Resort is located on the right hand side (east) of 56th Street.

You’ll find plenty of both on this course. Up-and-downs are not recommended here. You don’t get a par 3 until the fourth hole - but the par 3s are spectacular, and will test your club selection skills. Also, many of the holes have dastardly bunkers on both sides of the fairway; or else, they’re guarding the greens. Challenging? Yes. Relaxing? Depends upon who you are.

The 160 suites at Orange Tree Golf Resort provide plenty of relaxation, however, and all of it amid classic Southwestern style. Especially if you opt for the in-room Trefoil spa treatments - try the 60- or 90-minute Orange Tree Massage, the signature treatment at Orange Tree Golf Resort. After a day of exquisite golf, it’s the perfect way to unwind!
