Saddlebrook Resort - Oak/Cypress

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.

I’ve always enjoyed the layout. Unfortunately course is still stuck in 1986 and desperately needs more attention. Great value and great pace of play. Greens in good shape but slow. Bare spots throughout tee boxes, fairways and green side. Carts have no modern features so don’t expect glamour anywhere.

The course had been aerated so the fairways were not up to the usual standards

This course is pristine!! The check in process is a bit odd with valeting but it is so nice and staff is a 12/10!!!

The course was in great shape and the pace of play was excellent. I introduced the course to a buddy and he loves it.

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

It’s a nice course,But at the premium they’re charging to be competitive with other local high end golf courses isn’t justified. Saddle Brooke needs some updating. Note , if you decide to stop at the range Which is located by the entrance, before checking in, they will try to charge you an extra five dollars dock even though it range balls were included. Over all I would go back but nothing special to see here

Palmer course was in great shape. Stay in play and in short stuff. Greens ran nice. Saddlebrook course greens are f Ed. Wish this place was busier. Overall, great round.

The Palmer Course was in great shape, love the layout. Greens were fine running 8/9, not beat up. Challenging layout, rough will penalize you. Saddlebrook greens were really rough! Staff is always friendly

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

Fun course very challenging. Greens were nicely maintained. The rough was too deep!

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.
