Saddlebrook Palmer

Great layout, challenging but not impossible. Greens in good shape, roll well. Pace of play was excellent. Staff in the Proshop and starter were helpful and efficient. One negative is the parking. Confusion at Valet, always was included now they seem to want to charge an additional $12 plus tip. Self parking is not doable, half mile walk. It is not easy to navigate from Valet to proshop, too far to carry your clubs and you pass thru the resort swimming pool area. If it is your first time, you'll need help. Budget an extra 15 minutes.

Sabblebrook

The course is in great shape and we could not have asked for better weather. I try to play Saddlebrook every 3 or 4 months, and this is the nicest it has been in years.

Nice track

Staff at drop off area only helped when I asked where to go as it was my first time there, valets were there for the first day so unexperienced. Second green a ball bounced off our cart as we were walking to it. I also thought there would be better grassed fairways. After that all went great!

No answer

We couldn’t play because we must go to Alabama for business. I wrote two mails to the golfclub to asking if we could get our money back. No answer. So we paid 120 $ for nothing.

Beautiful Course

I passed this course often but had never played. I was able to get a good deal on GolfNow and decided to give it a go. The course gets progressively more challenging as you move through the holes. All in all, I had a great time playing this course.

Great day on the course

Great weather, great conditions, staff was helpful and friendly, pace of play was good and everything fell together (except the greens were still recovering from being punched but were top-dressed well and still rolled pretty true). All in all it was a capital experience!

Saddlebrook Palmer Course Review

Quite a bit Northeast of downtown Tampa and about 75 mins from the beaches lies Saddlebrook Resort. The course layout is nice and requires all the shots. The greens were running pretty fast but the fairways were hard and pretty dried out along with the range.

Enjoyable Course

The course was in good condition, from tee to green. Enjoyable round, other than couple in from of us was struggling and quiet after 10 holes. Great layout, with appreciable amount of water. would play again.
