Course was outstanding
The course was in excellent condition. Pace of play was fast, however we had a twosome behind us pushing us on every shot, yet we played the 18 holes in 4 hrs. We let them go through, but then as we knew would happen we started waiting on them every shot. Seems they were moving fast just to get ahead of us then slowed their games down. I wish the course would have grouped more players together. We had at least two twosome’s playing behind us after letting one twosome through. The other twosomes never caught us until we started waiting on the twosome in front of us which they were starting to wait on foursomes in front of them. Greens were hard and extremely fast to the point of being too fast. Hard to even lag putt. Scenery and course were beautiful. Club house excellent along with on course amenities.
Gem
This course is awesome. The layout, the condition and the people were all great. The greens were unbelievable. I would definitely recommend. This has to be the best public course around.
Saltleaf Review
Course conditions and layout is immaculate. However at a premium price, there has to be great practice facilities. There is a 160 yard enclosed diving range and no chipping area which is odd for a course that is spread over 150 acres. Water is available at the snack bar at the 1/10 tee but no where else on the course and it does get hot in southern Florida.
Not Easy
The course plays harder then its rating. Not alot of room if you miss the fairways. Greens are fast and true and in unbelievably great shape.
Had a great experience.
Perfect
As good a course you will ever play. The greens were smooth and rolling but would hold. Manicured fairways . Just in phenomenal shape. Took a shot. Not from here. Just played Doral last week and if o had to pick, I’d pick Saltleaf.
Very pristine
Great layout, gorgeous greens and fairways. Kind of hard to locate due to construction.
Must play
Beautiful natural beauty with no houses or roads. Not cheap but worth it. Course is in pristine condition. Love playing here.
Starter and cart guys were awesome
Great experience, loved the greens, firm and fast. The cart guys were prompt and the starter seems to love his job, he took the time to explain the course and was really pleasant and efficient.
Fun Resort Course
Fairways and Greens are in good condition. Greens roll pretty fast and have subtle and somewhat deceptive breaks. Recommend rolling many practice putts before the round. The team from the bag drop to the shop are all hospitable and kind. There are some fun short holes that are of the risk/reward type. The course favors a fade off the tee box with plenty of safe areas on right side should you need it. Check where the water is when teeing off. The water can come into play if you are 250+ off the blue tee boxes. Fun course, will play again next time I’m in town.
Great time
From Canada here for weekend golf. Paid $300cad for afternoon tee time and I’d say it was well worth it. Greens are so fast and pure. Lush fairways and great layout. Carts have GPS. The range is only a large net 85yrds away. try to get an afternoon time for cheaper
This course is absolutely beautiful
Very challenging course and it will punish you very quick. Absolutely beautiful all the way around. The staff does an amazing job. I would play it everyday if I had the opportunity.
Great fun!
Came as a single and got hook up with 3 guys from Long Island, fun group mad for a pleasant experience! Course itself was great condition and great value for the money spent!
Saltleaf Golf Preserve
Great course and gem in southwestern Florida. Rare course in Florida with no housing around. Beautifully kept and in tremendous condition. Well worth the money and will certainly be back next time visiting the area.
