Saddlebrook
Greens were awful and pace of play was awful. Also, most bunkers were being constructed on. Overall bad experience.
Good course, and good value, overall
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.
disappointed
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.
Good value
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.
Good Course
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.
Cheap
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.
Fewer Geese
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.
Great course
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!
Interesting course
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.
Nice short course
Nice easy short course. Great average golfer golf course, everything was in good condition but most of the holes were pretty short. Not a great course for the long range drivers. Fun course, nice layout, good speed of play, overall good time.
Great Staff, good course
I booked the round on Golf Now for 8:24 the morning after I arrived. My clubs did not arrive on the flight with me. Called the club that morning at 7:00 and asked for a later tee time as I needed to go buy shoes. The pro was very gracious and accommodating. The first impression when I drove up was not great but the course was in great shape and challenging. The pro was even gracious enough loan me his towel as the rental set was just the basics.. I look forward to my next trip to Indy so I can take on this course with my clubs.
Perfect weather
This was the perfect day for golf and the course was in great shape. After a very slow twosome was passed, we moved at a great pace without any issues. Both front and back 9's offer some fun challenges and opportunities for birdies.
Saddlebrook
I really liked the course. Lots of water / sand. Play was at our pace. Greens have a lot of levels.
Car paths need some attention. No yard makers. Makes approach shots difficult !!
Overall, I would recommend the course. Got the green fee on line (golf now) for $26.00.
Local course
This course is close , convenient and really very affordable (especially with deals from golfnow). There is also a good mix of challenges on the course, some holes are open and require you to hit a long driver, others will require more thought that would require a long iron. The holes are nicely laid out and present unique challenges. The biggest drawback to this course is the condition that the course is in. Bunkers are mostly unplayable, poor turf condition, uneven tee boxes, the list goes on. I know the staff does everything they can but this course gets so much traffic and so many people dont respect the course that having the course in this condition is inevitible.
Saddlebrooke Great course for afternoon play
Decent course helped me score back to back birdies for first time in 2014
Great value
I'm not sure what the regular green fees are for Saddlebrook, but booking it on Golfnow was certainly a great value. Granted it was a Monday, but being able to play 18 w/cart for around $20 is right up my alley. That price did not reflect the quality of the course which was for the most part in really good shape. The bunkers needed some work, but maybe if I stayed out of them it would not have mattered. Golfnow has made it possible for me to play more golf and not put a strain on finances, get the app, use it...Go. Play.
Speed up play
This is a nice course with an interesting layout. It is in decent shape, but the pace of play was ridiculous. 6 groups were waiting to tee off at the same time (8:30 am). Eventually, everyone spread out, but one group held everyone up. No ranger was to be found. Two groups caught up with our group and quit after waiting to tee off for 15 minutes. 5 1/2 hours to play this course is unnecessary.
Bunkers in disarray
Was pleasantly surprised by how great of shape the greens and fairways are this year. Played this course many times and have always disliked the overall quality of most fairways, greens, and tee boxes, but today the fairways and greens were as nice as any top public course. Bunkers were awful and unplayable, with the hard clumps of sand and rock everywhere. Tee boxes were in mediocre shape. Can't beat $18 twilight. N
