Challenging Layout in great shape
The greens were very undulating and difficult. They rolled very good. Almost all tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. The layout was a challenge having not played before, but we will be back!

The only problem was my playing. My drives were good 70% of the time. However my chipping and putting were not. The greens were very tough.

Course was nice
I liked the layout it is challenging and a lot of variety. Getting to and from the parking lot to the golf course is poorly set up you need to get a ride in a curtisey cart to get around.

GREAT EXPERIENCE
Played the Palmer course today with my two boys. The course was in GREAT shape. That's saying something given the time of year. The staff was amazing!!! Craig was extremely helpful. As if that wasn't enough, it was extremely cold...too cold to golf. We could only play nine. Although they didn't have to, the pro shop gave us a rain check. First-class.

Very enjoyable time at Saddlebrook. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Greens were nice lots of breaks so ball position is important, but they rolled very true and are in excellent condition, with only a few minor blemishes. Fairways nice and pretty wide open. Overall a very nice course and will be back. Also we were lucky enough to get put out on the Palmer course, without asking for upgrade.

Course is in fair condition. Fairways are a bit thin, but playable. Greens are nice, not overly fast, hold approach shots well. Beverage cart came by on front nine, but we were disappointed that she was not around at all on the back nine.
