Great Course But Pricey

Course was in great shape with a very friendly staff. A little pricey for mid-April. They should offer a FL residence discount…

Nice course but overpriced

Played this course when it was Raptor Bay. Really love RB. Salt Leaf is a nice layout, but IMHO about $75 to $100 too much. I would play it again, but when the green fees are a better "value." Staff was very friendly.

How not to serve your customers

No help unloading bags from car - or reloading. Rushed out and forced to start on hole #7, disregarding our reserved tee time. No explanation from Pro shop. Stuck to play in between some outing!

First time but wont be the last

We had an outstanding experience at SaltLeaf Preserve Golf Course. The course was in fantastic condition—the fairways were beautifully maintained, and the greens were absolutely pristine. You can tell a lot of care goes into keeping this course top-notch.

What really made the day even better was the staff. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, especially Tony the starter and Tia the cart lady. They both went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

This is definitely a course we’ll be coming back to—planning to make it a yearly trip!

Pristine confitions

This course is kept in pristine condition. Beautiful fairways and greens. Some challenging holes especially #2 if you’re a high handicap short off the tee like I am. Very friendly staff. Attentive cart girl. Only criticism is lack of direction to next hole. Very pretty course, you see very few homes. Even better than Shell Point only because it’s more scenic.
