Saddlebrook Resort - Cypress/Pine

The Palmer course is in terrible shape.

They are letting the front nine to go fallow as we were told they will be tearing it up in April for a new practice range. Good thing as the range is bad as well.

Find another venue.,,.

Course is in good shape. The numerous sand traps are well maintained. The greens are fair with reasonable speed. Course was busy on a Friday afternoon and we played in 4 hours.

played the saddlebrook course nice layout course in pretty good shape the greens are just ok wouldn't have minded paying the price if the greens were better at $75.00

This course is inside a resort that you have to drive over two miles, once you get into the resort, to get to the front of the resort hotel,. You then have to valet your vehicle. You pull up to the front of the hotel entrance drop off your car to a valet, put your golf shoes on in the entrance, and then have to carry your clubs at least 400 yards to the golf shop. You then have to drive your golf cart all through the resort to get to the first tee. This course has a lot of blind tee shots and trouble in front of you. The carts are equipped with much needed gps, especially playing the course the first time. It's impossible to know how far to hit it on some occasions or where to hit it on others. After being told our gps would work once we got to the course, again driving forever through the resort to get to the first tee, our gps wouldn't work. At this point we couldn't drive back to the pro shop because people were stacking up behind us. We call the pro shop, no answer. We called during the whole round, no answer. We finally called the hotel and got a really nice person who actually got a hold of someone in the golf shop, after a long wait on hold, who said they would bring us a new cart. They never did. We called back, having to go through the resort hotel operator again who got us in touch with Raj, the golf manager. He didn't do anything. No apologies, no percentage off our next round, nothing. Nobody but the receptionist for the resort acted like they really cared. The funny thing is, I read where the resort and hotel were closed before, we went. They are open but should be closed for lack of caring and the goofy set up they have to actually get to the golf course once you arrive.

Course is in good shape. Pace of play right at 4 hours. Will definitely play here again

The course was in excellent shape for this time of year. Greens were full but a little long. Fairways were in good condition also. It was as pleasure to play.
