Great way to celebrate my birthday

Really enjoyed my first visit to Salt Leaf Preserve. Every staff member I came into contact with was outstanding. From the bag drop, through the clubhouse, to the starter, to the bag staff when I finished - all made me feel very welcome and appreciative that I played their course.

The practice area was awesome.

If you haven’t played Salt Leaf, you need to add it to your play list.

Not memorable

I played raptor for over 15 years. Loved the course!

I was disappointed with flat fairway and for the most part straight fairways. II played for $100 and I didn’t feel like it was worth the money. I know for sure I will never pay $350 a round in season.. The stacked grass was nice but had really no. Effect on the play. I had the impression you would have traps with stacked grass. How uneventful is your 18th hole.

Sorry but I would rather play raptor bay.

Excellent Course

Great Layout and the course is challenging but offers a excellent round. It’s a newer course so some areas are still being perfected. It’s a great opportunity to visit now because I’m sure this course will be very busy in the high season in Naples.

Nice course but not memorable.

Enjoyable quick round! As a twosome completed 18 holes in about 2:45. Course in great shape, specially less than a week after tropical storm. Very large true rolling greens. Wide fairways. Forgiving course for average players. Course meanders through preserve rather than housing developments which is a huge plus. No unique or outstanding signature holes so not very memorable. Played off season in August through Golf Now for $75 which is reasonable but was told in season was $275! That’s just nuts!
