Nice place

Great value but a little wet but very well maintained. My wife and I played and other than a couple singles that had to play through us it was good.

I would go back.

Disappointed

First time here and will never play here again. Impossible trying to find the course inside the resort, no signs anywhere. You leave your clubs at resort entrance and walk 10 minutes through pool area to get to the clubhouse, it was bizarre. Get there early, you will need the extra time. The course was a mess, it looked like the grass wasn’t cut for a month then they mowed it. Clumps of grass clippings everywhere. Tee boxes and greens are totally neglected. The course has a nice layout but needs some TLC. Green fees were not expensive and the staff was great, but this was my first and last visit.

A Little Disappointed

First the guy told us the greens were in great shape and they just cut for smooth roll. This was not the case. The greens were sandy and okay. Wish someone told us that not 1 but 3 holes were in the middle of the fairway. Made it difficult to judge distance or even what we were doing. It was terrible. They have their sprinklers watering sidewalks and bunker. Misses the greens entirely. Grass was all over the fairways after they cut. If it wasnt for the coupon of $37 this would have been much lower rating. I just dont know why no one mentioned specific holes the green is in the fairway. Other than that enjoy the layout. Could use better amenities because the first 9 holes no cart person or water anywhere. Would play again. It is solid course just disappointing building it up to a friend to be let down.

Great course and great value late in day

4oclock tee time course was wide open and they said i was last tee time so i zipped around. course was a little brown but so plush, but to be expected with heat. Course was pure greens were rolling and it was a fun fair test. Overall worth it to play and see

Needs Work

I’ve been playing this course the better part of 20 years and this is by far the worst shape I’ve ever seen this course in. Weeds all over the fairways, tee boxes chewed up, greens with large areas of dead grass/replaced grass. Also the landscaping around the course that was pristine in the past has just been neglected. Golf staff was great as always. BOTH bev carts were broken down on the course and it sounded like they had been there for a couple days. Lastly, they only had one valet working so at the end of our round we had to wait quite a bit to get our car. Definitely won’t rush back until I hear changes have been made.

Don’t bother!!

I played the Saddlebrook course for the first time. The green we’re about a 7 on stint and 2 or 3 temp greens. The whole course was soggy and bunkers were horrible. I recommend going elsewhere.

STAY AWAY

Entered through the community gates and it took 15 minutes to find the golf parking lot…absolutely no directional signs.

From the parking lot, you have to walk 5-10 minutes to the pro shop. Then you have to get a cart and go back for your clubs.

We played the Palmer Courses. It was horrible. At 10:30 AM, there were massive (and I mean massive) grass clippings EVERYWHERE

Again, little to no direction signs. The greens, fairways & tee boxes were equally disgusting.

I highly advise to everyone to NEVER play this dogtrack
