Great Course and Friendly Staff
Beautiful course and will play again when I am in the area!
Golfnow does not give credit on cancellation
Be careful of Foldnow. I cancelled a foursome within time and my account was not credited. AND there is no was to call them. Beware!
Expensive
An expensive course for the condition and layout Staff very friendly and cooperative from front desk to cart guys especially starter/ranger. But this is not a $300 course. More like $150-200 max.
Overpriced
Salt leaf is an average golf course. Generally in good condition.
Definitely NOT worth the price tag.
No one was at the bag drop when we got there so we had to unload our own clubs - not a big deal but again for the price I would have expected better service.
Was looking forward to Saltleaf. Nice new clubhouse, all staff were great esp. in the pro shop. 5 star before teed off. Course was ok, not worth it if playing full price. Par 3’s pretty basic. Had a pace of play problem for the course layout. Got backed up behind a slow foursome in an outing with zero etiquette. At least a hole behind, waited on every shot. Ranger should have managed this.
Tight Driving Course
While the course was in decent shape the course didn’t fit my eye for a pleasurable experience. Many of the fairways were pinched tight for drivers. No sand traps on the course only coarse waste bunkers. Didn’t see the value for the money.
Solid but Overpriced
Played with a 9 AM tee time this morning. I knew it was expensive when I booked it, but $300-ish per person was steep. On vacation, I was ok with it thinking that I would get a classic, high-end Florida golf experience. As the holes went by, I was waiting to be impressed by the layout and the conditions. The conditions were definitely very good, but for that price tag, seeing divots left unfilled and ball marks on the green was a little disappointing. All in all, it was a nice round, but I have played courses just as nice and exciting as Saltleaf that are $150 cheaper. I think they get away with charging what they do because it’s located right next to a Hyatt and Ritz, but still, I wouldn’t rush over here again unless the price dropped dramatically simply due to the fact that the course lacks a uniqueness and the conditions were very good, but not quite enough to justify the price tag.
Recommend for anyone in the area
Hard to find great public courses in the area. This one checks that box. Had 7:40am tee time and flew through the course. Layout is great and course conditions were superb. Staff was awesome and friendly. Highly recommend for anyone in the area to play.
Warm up area is not a full driving range, but fills the need to get warmed up before a round. The price is a tad high (but that’s normal around here). Recommend waiting for a deal to play.
