Nice value course!

I remember when this course first opened. Very nice back then. Unfortunately, this course fell into extreme decline. Guessing there is maybe 1 guy, part-time, at best attending to the course itself. Tee boxes were horrific. Greens not too bad especially in comparison to The Fort that I played a week ago.

Guessing this place is hurting revenue-wise as the most basic upkeep could revitalize this course back into what it once was. Rooting for this course to inject $$$ to just get the greenskeeper some much needed help/assistance to do the most mundane tasks in cleaning up the course.

“Sand” bunkers? No need to rake them as they are as hard as asphalt with a light dusting of sand granules on the surface. :(

Won’t go back

I will never play this course again. The pace of play was terrible. There would be 4 carts regularly ahead of us at each hole.

After 10 holes, I went to the pro shop asking for a rain check to come back to play when it’s not as busy. The shop denied my request.

As such, I will never play this course again

Amazing Value

Played here while visiting Indianapolis and it was great. The greens and fairways are in great shape, though the sand in the bunkers was very hard. Golf carts are also super slow and I wish they had spread out the par 3’s a bit more as they are heavy on the first nine. Other than that it was perfect to me. Overall it’s a beautiful property and an amazing deal for only $36.

Rock hard

The course is not bad, but it is not very well maintained. I couldn’t get a tee into the driving range because it was so hard. The same thing happened at several of the tee boxes. The fairways were OK. The course was challenging but fair. The price was really good, so I can’t complain overall.

Must Play - Great Shape & Economical

The fairways and greens were in great shape. This course is in better shape than most premium courses in Virginia. Although it is short, the hazards and layout make it challenging and fun.

Not bad

Greens in excellent shape. Tee boxes totally destroyed. Fairways were pretty good but plenty of divots that weren’t filled. Greens had lots of ball marks-clearly not the courses fault, but the public’s. Good course for the money if you don’t expect too much. Staff great.

Don’t waste your time at Saddlebrook

Terrible course conditions tee to green. 12” or larger PVC drainage hole off back of 18 green not marked and wife fell in, no apologies, no are you okay, no sense of urgency etc.

All of the golfing tee time apps should drop this course to save their brand.

Tee box conditions are extremely bad, no grass and on some it was standing water where they put the markers.
