Dissappointment

The course was in terrible shape. The bunkers had not been raked in days; the greens were rough and uncut and the condition of the fairways was sad.

Otherwise, the day was beautiful

Slow Playing and Poorly Manicured Greens

I wouldn't recommend. They didn't have a starter and people came and went as they pleased. They also put people off the front and back despite the fact the course was full. 5+ hour round.

Excellent Staff

This was my first time coming to Saddlebrook and I can honestly say I really enjoyed this course. The course was in great shape even with all the rain we have had. Major props to the employees. I also really enjoyed talking to the course manager Matt he is a great guy. From the course rangers to the snack bar crew everyone was extremely friendly. I will continue to come back just because of the great employees they have working here.

Long round for an average track

The course needs better management of tee times and a marshal to monitor pace of play. The course is too short to have 5 hour rounds. The layout of the course is below average and has too many par 3'a on the front 9 contributing to the pace of play issues. If you're a decent golfer this is a drive, wedge and putt course. There was a food discount if you play 18.

One of the nicest public courses in Indy!!!

I have played Saddlebrook many times. This is a great course for any golfer, amateur to pro. The course is not as long as some links course, but each hole is unique. There are tons of hazards/traps, which make each hole challenging and fun.

Worst course in Indiana

Staff is a bunch of inexperienced kids who have terrible attitudes. The course is torn to pieces, the tee-boxs are basically dirt and very uneven. The fairways have divots the size of a prime rib and the greens are slow and filled with divots as well. Residents around the course have no courtesy, shouting and trying to distract you from your game. Pace of play was absolutely pitiful. Waited 15 min at every tee-box.

Played the same day and had the same kind of experience. I had enjoyed playing this course before but because of how horrible the staff and course were that day I dont think Ill ever be returning.

This course need work....

I have always liked the layout, location and staff at Saddlebrook. The course has drainage issues with the bunkers; most of the bunkers were full of water. Some areas of the course are in need of repair.

Needs some work

Water hazards are atrocious. Sand traps need work. Course needs a lot of maintenance. Condition didn't really affect play. Just went around. The cours is beautiful. Would like to see it in top notch condition.

This course needs work.

Lots of potential but this course needs a facelift. There were lots of areas all over the course that need maintenance work. Some fairways had major low spots with standing water and mud. The sand traps had standing water on several holes. If they get these issues worked out it can be a really nice course. More than one green had muddy spots. Tee boxes were often littered with broken tees.

Saddle brook first time

This course had several water holes and narrow fairways. It has older trees that have a very solid sound when hit by your ball, The course was very interesting and we had a great day at this hidden gem.

Poorly Managed

5 hour round of golf due to extremely slow pace and, even after calling to pro shop to complain numerous times, the ranger still never did anything about it. Not sure if they even have a ranger. There is a sign on the door to the pro shop seeking maintenance help and the course shows it.

Good Value

Nice course and great price!
Was a great day but beware if you book on line at the outstanding price so are lots of other golfers. All good unless someone is in a hurry. Almost 5 hour round is a little long but everyone that was stacked up was cool about it and were there to have a good time.
Would recommend to friends!

Score!

White tee box is short and still requires some strategy, short hitters can score on most par 4s and par 5s. Some excellent long drives can actually bring the water hazards into play. Check your yardage to the hazards!

Good public track in Indy

First time playing here. Course was in good shape. Definitely would recommend playing early in the morning or twilight if you are worried about pace of play on weekends (tends to be slightly slower than most places). Liked the facilities and felt like it was a reasonably challenging track (almost all holes punish you for going long).

Not the same coarse

Lets start by saying that I got a GREAT DEAL on deal caddy, If I would have paid full price for this round i would not be happy.
I understand that fall/autumn gold can be somewhat difficult at time, however the greens and bunkers were in terrible shape, looked like they hadn't been tended in sometime.
I play city coarse 3-5 days a week and they are in considerably betterr shape than SB.
I had a good time with friends, but the coarse was NOT UP TO SNUFF!! At this time I would not recommend to a friend, but I do understand it is late in the season.
