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.

Range upgrade needed

Salt leaf is a very nice golf course. Friendly staff great course layout greens are in great shape. They just need to have a full grass driving range.

Country Club Condition

A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Excellent facility with the best course conditions I’ve played this winter on a public course. Staff is very friendly and the lunch in the bar area was excellent. Highly recommend playing here.

Salt Leaf March 2026

Very nice course and in good condition. Green fees around $200 for 2pm in season. Good mix of shorter par 4 and some very lengthy par 4.

Overall very good.

Very nice course!

Only complaint was the practice range, but it works. The course was I. Great shape. The clubhouse was very nice and accommodating. Greens were not slow. Took lots of pics. Saw no gators.
