Saddlebrook Resort - Oak/Cypress

This was my first round on the Saddlebrook Course! (Previously played the Palmer course). Saddlebrooke course was tougher/tighter with more water. I really enjoyed the challenge.

To me the greens were too hard. You couldn’t get anything more than a wedge to stop and hold. That lead to a lot of super fast down hill putts from behind the holes. But overall a great experience.

We were supposed to play the Palmer Course but starter suggested we play the Saddlebrook course due to the back up on Palmer course. Did not like that you had to carry your clubs to the club house after having to valet park. They should at least have someone running a golf cart shuttle to and from parking area to the clubhouse. You are forced to walk through the resort pool area which was very odd. There was no beverage cart on the course. Course itself was in decent shape, typical Florida course.

Good greens that could be faster but rolled smooth. Practice facility is too far away

Course was a fun layout with tough pin positions. Great value!

The course is in very good condition. There a a couple of ridiculously narrow greens. Most holes have trouble, which will cost you a stroke if you don’t hit the ball straight

The Palmer course is old school golf with greens well protected by bunkers. You have to read the grain to get speed right on the greens. The staff is great both at the bar and the. Pro shop Logan was very helpful.

Played in under 3 hours. One of my favorite courses in Tampa atea. Got lucky as 3-4 groups in front of us cancelled at last moment. Lots of water and sand and opportunities to get into trouble. Finished eith a beer at the pool.

Like the course layout very much, the driving range is a ways from the first tees but no biggy if you have time. The greens were abit spotty, sods in places, some weeds in them as well. While the course needs alittle freshening make over I still enjoy playing the courses and I will retutn

No Bag drop area, walk from small Parking Lot to pro shop

We played this course on a Saturday afternoon. I have zero complaints about the course itself. It was in good shape and a nice layout. For starters we were sent out behind two Fivesomes. The last 12 holes we waited on every shot to hit. This course doesn't go by the clubhouse and the halfway house was closed. We didn't see the beverage cart until hole 12. This was about 25mins after she drove right by us as we told her we wanted to buy. The valet at the end of the round was a debacle and we ended up just getting the keys from the stand and walking out to our cars ourselves. I don't usually complain about things like this but when you pay what we paid you expect the service that comes with that.
