Saddlebrook Resort - Cypress/Pine

The course was not well taken care of. Patchwork greens. Mud everywhere. Drainage problems. Sand traps not upkept. And they said it was busy but we didn’t see another group of golfers the entire day! That last part was the only positive aspect of playing here.

palmer was closed, we were given a rain check for future date, course is still closed

Course was in excellent shape. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Played this course several times and have always enjoyed playing it. Live the layout. Stay in the fairway when playing here. It’s called the rough for a reason. Can make for a long day if you’re consistently hitting out of it. Greens we’re in great condition with the exception of 1. Will definitely play again.

showed up after paying in advance to play the palmer course and told they scheduled a outing with a shotgun start, they would get me off the back but it would be close to 6 hour round. sent me off the saddle brooke course. most of the greens are covered in bumpy dry dirt spots. a few of the fairways look like they haven’t been mowed for weeks. they should close till they can get the course in decent shape. looks like it was a great course, but complete waste of time and money now.

Terrible kept course. Staff was super friendly which was the only thing that made coming here bearable. Pictures of the course were beautiful but the course itself was one of the worst courses I've played on.

The fact they charge $70 to play this course is laughable.

15 of 18 greens were destroyed. No advanced warning. Couldn’t even putt them. Take your two and on to the next tee. It’s like they did a bunch of repairs and they never finished them completely.

Saddlebrook course was an absolute dump. Plugged balls in the center of the fairway? Joke.

I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone.

Sorry guys, this course should not be open. We booked thru golf now and read the reviews which were written within the last month. Unfortunately the area has had 12" of rain over the last week and the fairways were more swamp area than a playable golf course. Cart path only was the rule of the day but not all golfers on the course abided by the rule. The rough was so long that you would struggle to recover a ball within a foot of the Fairway. I would not recommend this course based on my experience today.

The course was not fit for play. The course was soaked- and the first cut was unplayable as it hasn’t been cut. See pics- balls were 3 inches apart- fairway and first cut.

How it should be in the off season! Less than three hours to play a round, pretty slow around there for Monday. Greens are in good shape, staff was friendly as always.

I played this course twice this summer.

Round 1. The starter joked and said to watch out for the rough because the grass was not cut. Ok fine, it's the summer, we shall deal with it.

Round 2 (1 month later). The grass is still NOT cut. I lost my ball on the 3rd hole and it was probably 3 ft off the fairway. Try chipping when your ball is completely hidden with grass. Bump & Run? No chance... Greenside chip shot... Good luck. Miss a fairway... you're screwed. Your ball disappears immediately off the fairway and off the green... It's unfortunate because the staff is super friendly but unless you are a scratch golfer (which you're not)... the course is no fun :(

For the money I spent I was hoping the course would have been in a bit better condition. Just seemed a bit run down.
