SaddleBrooke's best course

When it's cold, wet and windy in the NW, it's a bonus to be swinging a golf club in the desert in November. The Preserve GC presents great views and plenty of challenges for golfers of all levels. The course is in excellent condition after over-seeding. Tees, fairways and greens are consistently lush. Par 3s are the stars of this course. (Par 5s... not so much.) Hard to beat GolfNow pricing in early afternoon.

Nice design, except there are too many bunkers at driver distance. A couple is OK but every hole is hard to manage your game. Hard to play a course like this with no booklet or GPS for course info.

We did enjoy , nice selection of tee boxes.

Greens unacceptibly slow

This is a very good layout and is generally in good condition. The greens, however, are extremely slow. I would not recommend playing this course until I knew the speed of the greens had been dealt with.

This place is a little out there, don't expect full service, just the essentials.

Course is fun, it''s peaceful out there.

Really going the wrong way

We played behind a group of the women with to toddlers. To of the women wherein either Jean cut off shorts or gym shorts with tank top tee shirts. And to make it worse they were driving around with to kids under the age of 4 who they proceeded to bring out on every green and let them putt. Absolutely horrible round and definatwly not what we have co e to expect from The Preserve. We ended up skipping a hole to get around them so they decided to skip a hole to get right behind us and have the kids yell ,"hurry up".

Then on the 17hole as we're teeing off the rest of their clan came casually driving up the fairway to pass by to "find the women". I won't be back there for a while after this last round.

Saddlebrook Golf - The Preserve

Really enjoyed the course. Found it to be challenging but fair. Fairways and green in very good condition.

Only one complaint. We found the yardage markers to be insufficient if not lacking. With no GPS, finding proper yardage distance was difficult and time consuming. This may not be a problem for regulars, but it is a pain for visitors.

Better reception at the pro shop

For the first time of about six times the lady who provided the till service was very friendly, in the past the old boys always seemed grumpy. They liked are money but didn’t want us to play their course I guess
