Golf course switched us

We were suppose to play Palmer Course but were told by starter we had to play other course as they had shotgun on Palmer.

We didn't get to play course I reserved. Bad greens brought fairways

Nice course...still a little wet...

Course as ravaged by rain a few weeks ago. It’s still got quite a few spots that need to dry up. It’s still a great course, though. Highly recommend it.

Still a bit soggy

Course is usually in great shape, but the rains over the last few weeks have kept the course saturated. Greens have a few bad spots, but generally roll well.

No rakes in bunkers which is pretty routine these pandemic days, but bunkers were in good shape. Need some sand in the carts to repair divot holes. I'd be happy to bring my own cup / scoop.

A forgiving but challenging course

Not long but challenging with generous fairways and testy greens. Unfortunately we dealt with a week of rain which made the course very wet. We will definitely be back!

Wet. Wet. Wet.

Courses was wet and muddy. Lost three balls in fairway in first five holes. Great course except during rainy season. I’ll return when it dries.

Golf Now Failed

I prepaid for a "Hot Deal" from Golf Now a week in advance of playing the Palmer Course at Saddlebrook Golf Course. When we arrived there was a junior tournament in progress and the pro shop told us that they had contacted Golf Now weeks ago about the tournament and to not book tee times for that weekend(Sept 12-13, 2020).

Did Golf Now contact me to let me know that they made a mistake and will refund me my $211 for four rounds of golf? No and there seems to be no way to speak to a human and their live "chat now" function doesn't work.

I hope to finally get a refund. I had to write this review to actually get to tell Golf Now about my issue.

Excellent course, on the short side

First time playing this course. Under 6300 yards from the back tees, so on the short side but the course is still challenging enough. Not very many flat fairways, rolling with plenty of traps and water. Pace was right on through 12 holes, then it got backed up a bit. I guess that will happen with a par 3 18. Finished in 4 hours though, Pace on this course should be about 3.5 hours. Course was in excellent condition.
