Saddlebrook Resort - Cypress/Pine

Didn’t live up to the hype for me. I was not overly impressed. Very confusing on where the clubhouse was exactly. People working there were great and friendly. Course was in good shape and condition. ( Palmer course). Just wasn’t a wow factor for supposedly being 1 of Tampa’s best courses.

Greens were excellent and super fast and rolling.

I will probably try the saddle brook course just for fun but won’t expect much.

Parking is a nightmare ... they need to figure it out.

Got an amazing bargain $30 rate through Golfnow and couldn't wait to play. This course is in MUCH better condition than any other non-private course in the area. Greens were smooth and consistent. Some rough spots in the fairways, but they were few and far between. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the course. This is the first time I’ve played the Saddle brooks course. Pace was great. I wish they had water on the course or 2 in the cart like some courses do. Other than that it’s a great course and a great deal. I’m playing the Palmer course next.

They force you to valet, add $12 + tip there. Valet couldn't find my keys, ended up walking to my car and driving it back to the bag drop myself...

Course was in very mediocre shape, greens were full of bumps.

NO water on the course at all and charge you $5 per bottle of water ... your course is located in Florida, its June, have water for the people paying $75 to play an extremely mediocre course..

Saddlebrook is a fun course to play , finished in 4 hours on a fairly busy Saturday!

No services on golf course

Watering low, greens burnt

No golf cart food &beverage

All washers not filled with water

No water fountains

Course was in okay shape. Some fairways were better than others. It was a hot day, however there were no cart services extended to golfers on the course.

Overall facilities were in good shape pace of play was good.

Unfortunately, someone had the brilliant idea of using the resort valet as the parking for the golf course so we sat for 15 minutes waiting to park you then stand to put your shoes on in the line while everyone behind you fumes and getting out was even worse 35 minutes to get our car after carrying our clubs a quarter of a mile to get there The kicker is also that they validate in the pro shop so there’s no point in doing this . Poor planning

A lot of prices have gone up recently and a lot of those courses don't live up to the price. I think Saddlebrook is right on par with what it offers. The course was in great shape, really nice greens, fairways were good, rough in some areas was patchy and my only real complaint is some tee boxes were bad. But for the money, excellent and will definitely be back.
