Nice play but very pricey

Not real exciting layout. Green are hard and a little slow. Very much of a country club feel. Great pace played in less than 4 hours. Love all the revetted bunkers. Going back to play again tomorrow.

Great condition

Enjoyed this course very much

Greens were in excellent condition but I found them slow probably a 9 at best on the stimp

Beautiful surroundings and no homes on course felt surreal

No sand bunkers which looked quite different!

Don’t be fooled by the slope rating it’s a lot more challenging than rating

Not worth the money

Paid $300, nice layout but will not be back to pay $300 for this course. The course was empty on a Sunday morning, I can only assume because of the $300 price tag. Greens were sticky, should roll much better for a $300 course. The property was nice, lots of space.

Quality Public Course north of Naples

Overall a very good experience, greens are in good shape, friendly staff and good pace of play during the week the two times I played. Pricey but below Tiburon and Lely. I will return when back in Naples.

Annual Golf Trip

Went to Naples area for annual guys golf trip this year, and Saltleaf was our first of three rounds in 2 days. Beautiful course in good condition. While this is subjective, $300 for round of golf on a public course is excessive however. Would definitely keep this course at the top of our list to try again should their prices come down a little bit.

It's still too bad they haven't worked out a deal with the Hyatt on costs. The Ritz players would expect more.

didn't know how to enter my Troon number.

If you’re looking to hit any balls prior to your round at Saltleaf you should go to another driving range because theirs is a total joke.

Good course but expensive

Course has an interesting layout with no bunkers.

Has waste areas with sodden walls.

15 of 18 holes were good but 3 had odd layouts.

Green fee is at high end.

Worth playing once.

Course was Raptor Bay, but was redesigned under new ownership. The front 9 was particularly challenging due to the narrowness of the fairways. Also they were berms on the edges whereby the golf ball might roll much further into hazard areas Th at might cause more penalty drops . Needed to be highly accurate with your tee shot or fairway shot.
