Great everything

I can’t brag about this course enough. Fantastic, helpful, and friendly staff. Course was in near perfect condition, the course layout was user-friendly, ensuring you never go more than 3 holes without ice/water/restroom access.

The re-design of the course is superb. I played it when it was Raptor Bay, and it was meh. The course can be very challenging if you don’t hit is straight or lag putt well…but if you keep it in the fairways, the birdie opportunities are abundant. Can’t wait to play at Saltleaf again!

Course solid - Restaurant and staff there simply amazing!

Had a great 4.5 hour round - it’s a Saturday and we’re where we want to be.. so, perhaps a little slow, but pleasant nonetheless. A little disappointed with the integrated cart speaker system - seems some golfers simply don’t want to enjoy, particularly let other golfers, south Florida’s natural sounds..

The restaurant, and our bartender/waitress Carolina - simply outstanding. The best Turkey Rueben ever.. and the service.. awesome!

Will definitely be back for golf and of course for a meal!!

A day of golf

Haven’t played this course in a couple of years since they changed it a bit and gave it a new name but conditions were excellent and course was challenging What I didn’t understand was the rating of it I thought the course deserved a lot higher slope and stroke rating than they gave it It was a lot tougher track than its rating

Saltleaf review

Course is mildly difficult. The layout is great. Amenities are perfect A+ The only complaint with round was a good fairway drive left you on hardpan fairway many time. Needs some water

Overall very good and will go again

Bad timing

The greens had just been aerated and were in horrible conditions. Unable to putt chip and did not enjoy. Waste of money and the fact they don’t tell you of the conditions is like stealing your money. Call first!!!!!!

Brand new course, with great features and wonderful staff.

Frontline is very unforgiving so be prepared for that. Back Nein is more forgiving. Awesome staff very well maintained absolutely beautiful course.
