Saddlebrook Resort - Cypress/Pine

Wasn’t very busy for a noon tee time and they let the other twosome tee off early so we had time to ourselves. The course was in great condition, challenging greens and a lot of water. The Palmer course is the “more forgiving” course. Those par 5s were brutal! Bring enough balls. Arrive early- the practice facilities are open but spread out.

Upon arriving, check in was well orchestrated. We promptly set out for a 4 minute cart ride to hit free range balls. All staff members were courteous and very pleasant. Tee time was spot on, no wait. The course was in superb shape. The fairways had excellent turf to hit off. The greens were a little slow, but each pin placement was challenging. All and all, a great day with money well spent.

Course was in great condition and I enjoyed the challenge. Players who are lower than intermediate level may find it more difficult than they are use to.

I've been wanting to play this course for a long time. Drove almost an hr from lakeland for the visit. Great layout on the course, greens were rolling great. Faiways & tees were nice as well. Definitely going to play there again!!

This resort has a great reputation and I thought the course and overall resort would be excellent. I was disappointed. For this price, I would play other courses instead.

This course is in great shape. Staff was friendly and helpful. Greens are fun and challenging. What an experience.

Course was challenging. A true shot placement course, the greens were perfect, fast, and true ... outstanding shape. I would definitely recommend this course.

2 Courses both fantastic.Saddlebrook is tighter and more challenging for me.

Great staff,resort atmosphere,and surrounded by beautiful homes.

First class range.We try to play there every week.

Fairways and greens all in excellent shape. A few tee boxes are getting thin and sparse. Rough is fairly thick, not the place to be.

I have played this course many times in the past. The course conditions are very good for this time of year in Florida . I would like the greens to be faster but because of the undulations and design they are very challenging.

Had a great time despite the coronavirus challenges .

I was very pleased with the layout and the playing condition of this course. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Plan to go back very soon.

Course is in great shape and greens are nice and smooth.

Course was great. The weather was good... Whoever made the person that cut the pins mad please apologize. 3-foot putts easily turned into a 10-footers coming back on some holes. But greens were in great shape.

Absolutely incredible course. Have never played a course this well maintained and pure. Great staff, beautiful track cannot believe the price $27-$33. This is well over a $100 course.

The course was in great shape. Tees were clean and greens were looking great and rolling great. The staff greeted me with respect to social distancing and wore a mask. One bummer was that valet was not available, obviously for safety reasons. Cart staff even chase me down while I was walking away to let me know that I left my drink mug on the cart. Saddlebrook Palmer course is one of my favorite courses in the Tampa Bay Area.

I’ve played 10-12 different courses this summer, and this is the best golf I found. Great greens, fun Palmer layout, excellent golf. This is my new favorite in Tampa Bay.
