Saddlebrook

This is a very nice course, well designed and appealing to the eye. The valet service was different than I had ever encountered before, not saying good or bad but if going there for the first time you should be prepared for this. Take some extra golf balls if you aren't a "down the middle" hitter, there are lots of water holes.

What's not to love!

Great layout combined with great conditions. The only retractor was the merged layouts was a little off putting.

Will definitely be back after things have been put back together.

Great course

Had some temporary hole locations but they were still fun to play. The course was playing really well for how much rain we’ve been getting

Great deal from TeeOff

Great course and the pace was great. Every time I see the course on TeeOff hot deals I will be playing here. Just a FYI they are changing the two courses into 3 nine hole courses. But should be nice when it’s completed.

Great Value

Even though there is course remolding going on at this time, the 18 holes we played were in really good condition. There is actual grass to hit off of in the fairways. Always a pleasure playing Saddlebrook even during course renovations.

Will be back…course under renovations, new ownership

First time here at the course/resort. Got a little lost on the way in…it’s about 2 miles in from the gate to get to the hotel check-in/valet desk. You still have to go around the pools to get to the course, but they will shuttle you there. The course is under renovation/construction currently and as can be expected, a bit chaotic as they are blending in 3 Nines from a 36-hole layout. We got lost a couple times but didn’t hold up play at all. We’ll be back to see how it is when it’s renovated and completed.

Under renovations, no notice, disrespectful Asst. Pro

Worst experience I’ve ever had booking a round on Golf Now. No notice when booking that the course is going through renovations. Several holes had temporary tee boxes. Club carts would shut down to a crawl when transitioning to temporary holes giving notifications to return to the cart path. Voiced my displeasure with the Asst Pro on duty, who repeatedly told me that they are asking for patience and understanding while the course is being renovated. He just didn’t seem to “get it” that I’d never had booked there in the first place had I known the course was under renovation. Waste of time and money. Drove an hour from where I was staying in Ruskin specifically to play the course only to be very disappointed.
