Orange Tree Golf Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Orange Tree Golf Resort is an independent timeshare property in Scottsdale, Arizona, affiliated with the RCI exchange network. Being independent rather than part of a large hotel-branded chain, it tends to have a closer-knit ownership community and management that's rooted in the property itself rather than a distant corporate head office. The name points to the resort's golf connection, which fits naturally into Scottsdale's long-standing identity as a desert golf town.

Scottsdale: The Area and What There Is to Do

Scottsdale sits in Arizona's Sonoran Desert, within the greater Phoenix metro area, and is known for its golf courses, spa resorts, and upscale shopping and dining scene. From Orange Tree Golf Resort, Old Town Scottsdale's galleries, restaurants and shops are about 5 miles away, and the wider valley gives easy reach to hiking at Camelback Mountain and Papago Park, architecture tours at Taliesin West, and the Desert Botanical Garden. It's a car-dependent area, so most visitors — owners and renters alike — plan on having a rental car for the week.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

If you own a week at Orange Tree Golf Resort and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post the ad.

Because Orange Tree Golf Resort is an independent property, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and can change from year to year. It's also worth asking whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once paperwork is submitted — timelines vary by resort administration.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contracted usage rights for the week as recorded with the resort, along with RCI exchange eligibility where that affiliation applies to the specific unit and membership — confirm this detail with the resort before closing, as exchange company enrollment can sometimes require a separate step after transfer.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters considering a week at Orange Tree Golf Resort are usually drawn by the Scottsdale golf setting and the chance to base themselves in the valley for a reasonable stretch — a week or more — rather than a short hotel stay. Clear information on unit size, view, and exact travel dates helps a listing stand out, as does noting whether the week falls in Scottsdale's busier winter and spring season or in the quieter, hotter summer months.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Spring (March–May) and fall (October–November) bring the most comfortable weather for golf and outdoor activity, while winter is peak season in Scottsdale despite cooler evenings. Summer (June–August) is hot but often comes with lower demand and rates, which can suit owners looking to rent out a week at a lower price point. Anyone buying or renting should confirm current annual fees, any resort rules on guest use, and RCI exchange status directly with Orange Tree Golf Resort before finalising a transaction.
