Saltleaf Golf Preserve - The Preserve

The only thing this is missing is a practice facility that reflects the quality of the course. Hitting into a net of 50 yards on mats is brutal. Everything else is great.

Excellent course but like all Naples public golf...well overpriced.

This course used to be Raptor Bay. Was good then. Much improved now with new ownership. The holes are now much different and the greens are firm and run well. They have a short term range in place which is adequate. Good putting greens. Clubhouse has a good place for food and drinks after to round out the experience.

Naples does not have enough highly ranked, premium courses to a visitor that is not joined to a local private course.

Most other destinations have public top end courses to play. This js a nice addition to the Npales area.

Course was in great shape love the new layout from raptor bay. Would recommend. You also get a hat and cup with your round.

I was excited to play this course for the first time. Surprised the range is off matts into a net with no plan to install one. Some holes are unique and some are straight with no character. Landscaping is colorless and boring. No bunkers on the course but there are sandy waste areas. The stacked sod bordering the waste areas creates a bumper on some shots which is really strange.

Greens are humongous so a GIR can easily lead to a 3 putt.

Bottom line: interesting course, but severely overpriced.

For a resort-style course it was superb. Used to playing difficult courses in FL that are not resort-style. Very wide open course. Difficulty is in not knowing where the water comes into the course.

Normal price point is too high. Only value is if you a get discount:

I was a fan of the old Raptor Bay course - but - I am an even bigger fan of the new Saltleaf. From the moment you hand over your bags at the bag drop to the beverage afterward - the experience was like being a 'member for a day'. The course redesign was creative yet not overwhelming. My wife is a new player and never once felt over-challenged. My advice to anyone would be to give it a try.

The 18 holes at Saltleaf were exceptional and the course conditions were excellent. Greens were fast and true. The new holes were just that new, but can certainly expect them to stand the test. Great course redesign and I will miss Raptor Bay, but Saltleaf is a very welcoming replacement.

The course conditions were excellent. Fast smooth grees, but not uncontrollably fast.
