Saddlebrook Resort - Oak/Cypress

Greens needed cut (very slow), and fairways needed cut, almost like they may have been over-seeded.

Tee boxes were pretty chewed up.

If course conditions are iffy in prime Florida golf season in February, I hate to see what they may be when the weather turns hot and wet.

One the plus side, I have been playing this course for years, and the staff here is among the most friendly and helpful of anywhere I play. I don't doubt for a minute that they are doing the best they can with the resources they have at their disposal. By all means, come and play, but don't expect conditions from Saddlebrook's heyday.

Great course. A definite challenge with lots of water, narrow fairways and well trap greens. A few greens were being repaired, but really good turf, grass around the greens and good traps. You have to park a distance away but are “ferried” to the clubhouse. Will play again

This was my first time playing the course. It was in good condition for the time of year. The course is challenging with plenty of water and traps to get in your way. The course is not extremely long but you better be accurate with your tee shots. If you're not a fairly good player I wouldn't play it unless you enjoy losing a lot of balls.

Noon tee time. Our foursome was second on the tee. Pace of play was good. Course conditions were typical of the dry weather Florida has been experiencing.

Greens rolled well, all in all a good experience and would gladly go back.

Fantastic day at Saddlebrooke. Golf course in terrific shape throughout. Only issue, golf carts are deplorable.

Good layout, good conditions, fast pace of play. I’ll be back

50 degrees, sunny,,little to no wind but most golfers stayed home. I arrived 1.5 hours before my noon tee time. Every staff member was almost giddy to see me as few golfers had ventured out to that point. As mentioned earlier, the practice facilities are at the gate but you do have to go to the pro shop, leave your car with the valet, register, get a cart and then drive back to the practice facilities. Not a big deal. I asked and was allowed to tee off early so was by myself on a virtually empty course. 2.5 hour round. Course conditions were very good. I thought Palmer designed courses had large greens. Not here. Small, and undulating which led to too many 3 putts. A fun layout that with more familiarity, or gps on the carts, would have changed my club selection. A great value with the Golfnow rate, even with the drive required from Bradenton. If i lived closer I would golf there many times.

First time playing the Saddlebrook Palmer Course. Course conditions were very good. Pace on the day I played was excellent. Course layout is suitable for the average golfer, though the greens are consistently guarded (bunkers, etc.) and quite undulating. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would look forward to playing the course again.

Played in the cold and wind which made for a tough round but was a lot of fun. Cold conditions scares away most the golfers so had the course to myself most the day. Several of the greens had patches but outside that the course was excellent. Will definitely go back.
