ORANGE TREE GR

The desert target golf here demands precision over power, with elevated tees launching balls across arroyos toward greens protected by strategic bunkering and native Sonoran vegetation. What sets this Scottsdale layout apart is how architect Robert Cupp used the natural washes and elevation changes to create genuine risk-reward opportunities rather than artificial desert eye candy. The closing stretch through the foothills rewards aggressive lines with manageable approaches, making this one of the Valley's best values for serious stick work.
