Saddlebrook at Saddlebrook Golf & Tennis Resort

some greens were in pretty rough shape , played at 4 different course in the area this week, this was by far in the worse condition, not worth the fees

There were a lot damaged areas on many of the greens

Not as reviewed on GolfNow/GolfPass. This may have been a solid course some years ago, but it's dropping in the rankings today.

Much of the pace of play conditions can easily be solved through effective marshalling. This course had great check-in and starter slots, but that where is it ended. Front 9 was a little over 1 1/2 hours and we finished in 5 hours.

The resort appears tired and in need of an update. A chicken sandwich for $15 and beers at $10/each would lead me to a starvation diet. You want to patronize a course in their concession area, but certainly not subsidize the entire operation.

Tee boxes were good and fairways decent, but greens were long, shaggy and extremely slow. There were also many dead spots on most greens and attempted patching with sod.

On vacations I tend to stock up on pro shop attire, but not here. The pro shop was virtually empty and must be remodelling. I left without the opportunity to purchase anything.

Not a repeater. Player beware.

I really enjoy Saddlebrook, I’ve played the Palmer course a few times and I absolutely love it. The greens on the Saddlebrook course made it feel like $10 golf instead of $100 dollar golf. They were so over seeded that we were slamming putts to get them to move more than ten feet. I love the course and layout, but honestly should have been better cut. I know they are super professional out there and would have loved to see a little better care taken to ensure the greens were in better shape.

Best Florida course ever.Challenging , yet playable even with overseeding

Made a trip over to Tampa to play this course. Golf now didn’t mention the overseeding. Just mentioned 90 degree rule which turned into CPO.

Not the end of the world. Fairways were great and the layout was really fun. Greens were in pretty awful shape due to overseeding. For this time of year the price was great and the course was empty….now I understand why but it was still enjoyable and I would come back and play again.

2 great courses to choose from..we played the Palmer amazing challenge in fact on the day too much of a challenge and it beat me up a bit......so enjoyable

Saddlebrook has made several cutbacks especially in the amenities department. Many of the greens were in rough shape. Hopefully the course will come back a little bit later but will need at least a couple of weeks before the greens are playable. We played the saddlebrook course not the palmer.

very wet conditions and greens needed much attention

We were able to play a day after 24 hours of rain. Cart path only rules applied with a lot of standing water. But play was light so we set our own pace. Having played Saddlebrook before we were thankful that the course was open. Even with the added time for walking across the fairways, the layout is still beautiful and challenging and a lot of fun to play.

Was told five to six greens were in need of repair. Found they were better than expected. Enjoyed my round.

The first issue was the golf cart that the brake did not work and Kyle the direct of golf new about after i complain ing about it. He stated they have issues with brakes. I informed Kyle about the ruff on the Palmer coarse that is so bad that you had to step on your ball to find it. I lost 7 balls in the ruff not DIAMONDS. He said because of rain he had to let it grow so it would not burn. I am good with that however, they should inform you at time of booking your tee time.

The course was not well taken care of. Patchwork greens. Mud everywhere. Drainage problems. Sand traps not upkept. And they said it was busy but we didn’t see another group of golfers the entire day! That last part was the only positive aspect of playing here.
