Saddlebrook Golf Club

Every time we play here the pace is SO SLOW and never a ranger to check on things. We have gotten to the point that we will drive further out just to avoid the frustration.

There had not been rain in at least 6 days. Yet, there was standing water in a couple of bunkers. Also, the back 9 was very soggy and in very bad shape.

You can see the diamond that this once was, but the years have had a toll on the course and surroundings. Maybe because it is late in the year they have let it go for a bit, but that does not account for the sheds, fences and other surrounding areas of the course. For the money, West Chase or Eagle Creek is a better value.

Not a bad course, but not in good condition except the greens. Bunkers awful ant
D those not torn up looked as if they had never been raked.

Course has a nice layout and nice holes. Unfortunately for the price it fills up quick. Get out early to beat the hackers. One of my favorite public course especially for the price.

Play was too slow due to the number of players on the course.

Location is fine, course is good shape (minus the sand traps) great daily prices! Good deal all in all

I have played this course many times in the past and always enjoyed it. Got a Great Deal on GN. It had rained a lot this past week and #14 Tea Box took a beating. A couple of the greens are rough and some traps are being redone or removed but over all fairways were good.

Remember to always Fix Thy Divot

Played this on a Sunday morning after a huge rainstorm the night prior. While the course certainly took on a larger than expected amount of water, the drainage was somewhat lacking as there were a number of areas of standing water even by late in the morning.
I've played this course many times and recommend to always play early if you don't want the round to take 5 hours +

This would have been a much more positive review if this hadn't been the slowest round I've ever played. They apparently stacked up the tee times. Our twosome was stacked between three foursomes. We had to quit after it took 3 hours to play 9 holes. We sat at the tee for over 15 minutes at more than one hole. The weather was beautiful, the course condition was better than average, and the company was good. I would stay away from this course on weekends, I would not be surprised if they commonly stack the tee times.

Greens were awful and pace of play was awful. Also, most bunkers were being constructed on. Overall bad experience.

I signed up for 18 hours through golfnow. The course is generally in good shape, with the occasional bald spot here and there on the fairway.

The greens are in good shape and predictable. Some of the cart pathways are broken - requiring you to drive around the 3-4 large depressions. Not a show-stopper.

The Par 5's are not that hard, and Par 4 are average difficulty. Overall a great value for $30. I would go again to this course.

The bunkers are unplayable, like most courses around town. The greens were horrendous also. It's a tricky, tight layout I like, but I can't go back till I hear they've made an attempt to get the course in shape.

First time I played course. Short course that compensates by having water in play on most holes and a few tricky greens. Other than 2 greens on the back that were diseased, course was in good condition.

Fairly tough course, nothing extremely challenging but overall Saddlebrook will get my money again. Greens weren't great but weren't nearly as bad as some I've seen.

Greens are in bad shape, fairways are chewed up, maintenance is an overall issue. Staff were extremely friendly, but this doesn't make up for the mediocre conditions.

Nice layout and good condition for a public course

The greens and other areas used to be littered with goose feces, but the birds are not numerous so far this year.
A few tees, a few fairways, and a couple of greens are a bit spotty. The traffic lights for the tunnel under 56th St. have been fixed.

Very pretty, more dynamic holes than you can find aroud Indy for the price. The back nine plays through a neighborhood (a few holes on the front, too), which made for more nervous play - a party was going on, I was waiting to miss hit the ball into a child. But otherwise a great round!

I thought the course was interesting. There were quite a few holes that required thought and decision making and I enjoyed that aspect of it. The back nine is much tighter and more difficult than the front. Fairways were in good condition, tees were OK, greens were fairly slow and had a lot of little brown patches that made for some difficult putting.
