If you’re looking to hit any balls prior to your round at Saltleaf you should go to another driving range because theirs is a total joke.

Good course but expensive

Course has an interesting layout with no bunkers.

Has waste areas with sodden walls.

15 of 18 holes were good but 3 had odd layouts.

Green fee is at high end.

Worth playing once.

Course was Raptor Bay, but was redesigned under new ownership. The front 9 was particularly challenging due to the narrowness of the fairways. Also they were berms on the edges whereby the golf ball might roll much further into hazard areas Th at might cause more penalty drops . Needed to be highly accurate with your tee shot or fairway shot.

Great course!

This is a newer course in Bonita Springs. It is wonderful. Feels like it’s been there for a long time - not 1 year now old. Staff was terrific. Holes were challenging - yet fair.

We were pleasantly surprised the course was very nice, but it takes getting used to a little bit, not having sand traps. The cart pass are real wide and seashells which you really can’t hit out of or you’re gonna screw up your club. Other than that really like the course.
