Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa

Immaculate new layout! Was challenging, yet playable. Love the sod walls!! Pace was great, 4some played in under 3:50!!!

I was very disappointed in the new Salt Leaf design by Ray Floyd. The course has no real character except stacked sod hills on the sides of a few fairways. The course has the most non discernible par threes, mostly just mounded greens. He could have used some of the stacked sod look around the greens. Not a bunker on the course. The 4th hole a par four is the worst, it has a 20 yard wide landing area unless you fly the ball 240 yards. The course has many parallel fairways, looks like they saved all the extra land for Realestate sales. The courses practice facility has only a small netted range with matts and no chipping area. Good luck if you are selling memberships.

Signed disappointing

There was no one in front or behind us. Often felt like we were the only ones there. Found out later they don’t have a warning horn for lightening. It’s a play at your own risk! We often heard thunder in the distance. Plenty of opportunities for food and water. The dining inside was lovely. My husband’s birthday so I bought him a hat.

Very friendly staff. Excellent course conditions (perhaps the best conditioned greens I have ever played in my life). Fun risk/reward with drivable greens, dog legs. I found the green complexes a bit boring. Predominantly flat, really no bunkers around the greens.

1st time playing Saltleaf Preserve. The course is in excellent shape and is very enjoyable to play no matter what your handicap is. Great layout from start to finish not to mention you pass by the snack and beverage hut which was a big plus for our crew. Great food after our round in the clubhouse bar. Staff is great and we will definitely be back.

I played as the second group off. As such, it was at a discounted price. The course was in great shape and well maintained. The staff was very helpful. I read other reviews lamenting the fact that there was no practice range. I felt what was offered was a reasonable replacement. Land next to the Gulf is at a premium and the course itself did not skimp on space between holes and future development. Some courses are very claustrophobic, with water on one side condominiums on the other. Not so at this time! . It's a challenging course and look forward to playing again on my next visit.

A previous fan of Raptor Bay, but found Salt Leaf to be a major disappointment - no range, boring back nine, play interrupted by sprinklers mid round. A very poor value proposition, I doubt there will be a lot of repeat play at current rates. Sorry to be negative, but as noted, a major disappointment. On a positive note the playing surfaces were very good for a new facility.

Love the course and layout, the only issue I have is the practice area. Why couldn’t they repurpose the old range? Hitting into a 80yard yet is unacceptable for that price. I don’t know how this happened but multiple times the ball would go through the netting and end up on top of the net and come back. We saw one guy get hit on his head from a ball coming back and multiple others being caught by people at the “range”.

I’ll play again but in off season. $229 is a bit much when you can play Corkscrew for $185. Renovation was nicely done. Completely different from the old raptor bay. New holes, rerouted holes, etc. Nothing looks the same. Worth a play but I’ll wait til summer.

Raptor Bay was part of my 4-some's regular rotation. I really looked forward to playing there and I was very sorry to see it go. I was anxiously awaiting the opening of SaltLeaf and looking forward to this round, It is a completely different course. What I liked: The Staff is top notch and everyone here is professional and it shows. The pro shop is very well done and is well stocked, The restaurant has retained the chef and this place aways had one of my favorite cheeseburgers and I enjoyed a great burger, fries & cold beer on this day! The staff at the bar also top notch. The greens are excellent , fast, true and hard to hold. Speed was consistent on all 18 greens, Nice job here. The fairways are perfect , no bad lies on these fairways. Tee boxes all good. I did not like the driving range part of the practice area, Raptor had a really nice driving range and this was a disappointment. The putting area part of the practice range I really liked. It represented the green speed on the course very well. I found holes # 2 & # 3 to be confusing for the 1st timer and was fortunate that the starter took the time to advise on strategy & landing area. #11-17 were all fairly easy & I found the SL back nine less challenging than the old RB back nine. Overall I had a really nice day but miss Raptor Bay.

Very nice course but felt like it was underwhelming for the price I paid. Outstanding conditions but just felt cookie cutter.
