I Recommend This Course
Best umin SW Florida
Saltleaf is easily as good as courses like Tiburon and Bear Paw, only difference being that you don't need to remortgage your house or sell a kidney just to pay for a round.

Greens dusted with Sand - no real stand out holes
For my $99 2pm tee rate -was left bored and disappointed with this Floyd design - I know it's a relative new layout but golf without green side bunkers takes away the vista

First time for me
I enjoyed the course. Great condition with a couple of memorable short par 4s. Great that it was on Golf Now as many area courses are not.
A course you need to play more than once because we made mistakes a few times because we didn't understand the cart picture of the hole

Saltleaf
I played this location a few years ago when it was Raptor Bay. The course has a completely different layout from then. The course is in great condition and the greens were fast. The staff was very friendly and the starter was very helpful with tips about the course.

1st time playing this since it changed
Always liked Raptor Bay, didn’t love it, but thought it was fine. I was super impressed with this new layout of Saltleaf Preserve. Used GolfNow and prepaid $86.99 which was a great deal. I’d play this place a lot at that price even up to $150. Heard it was way higher in season which wouldn’t get me to play but I really liked it. Staff and starters were exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was fabulous. Can’t wait to play it again.

Beautiful Course
Very nice course, one of the best I’ve played. If I could read greens properly would have shot a better score. Bring your green reading eyes these are some tough ones to read. Great course and everyone is very welcoming. Thank you for a great round.

Course was lots of fun and a good challenge. Beware hole 4 is no joke when they tell to to beware heed their warning. Play and you’ll see.
