What a Pleasure!

Got an amazing bargain $30 rate through Golfnow and couldn't wait to play. This course is in MUCH better condition than any other non-private course in the area. Greens were smooth and consistent. Some rough spots in the fairways, but they were few and far between. Highly recommended.

First Time Playing

Enjoyed the course

I enjoyed the course. This is the first time I’ve played the Saddle brooks course. Pace was great. I wish they had water on the course or 2 in the cart like some courses do. Other than that it’s a great course and a great deal. I’m playing the Palmer course next.

Very Average

They force you to valet, add $12 + tip there. Valet couldn't find my keys, ended up walking to my car and driving it back to the bag drop myself...

Course was in very mediocre shape, greens were full of bumps.

NO water on the course at all and charge you $5 per bottle of water ... your course is located in Florida, its June, have water for the people paying $75 to play an extremely mediocre course..

Valet only no bag drop.

Overall facilities were in good shape pace of play was good.

Unfortunately, someone had the brilliant idea of using the resort valet as the parking for the golf course so we sat for 15 minutes waiting to park you then stand to put your shoes on in the line while everyone behind you fumes and getting out was even worse 35 minutes to get our car after carrying our clubs a quarter of a mile to get there The kicker is also that they validate in the pro shop so there’s no point in doing this . Poor planning

One of the best value courses for the money in the area

A lot of prices have gone up recently and a lot of those courses don't live up to the price. I think Saddlebrook is right on par with what it offers. The course was in great shape, really nice greens, fairways were good, rough in some areas was patchy and my only real complaint is some tee boxes were bad. But for the money, excellent and will definitely be back.

Not worth the money

For a resort course it was very sub par, greens were great but that’s about it. Not worth more than $40 imo
