Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa

We played Raptor Bay in the past and the redesign did not disappoint. The course is in stunning shape and the drink and lunch we had in the bar after was awesome. Staff was extremely welcoming and did a great job explaining the course layout ahead of our round.

I fear change and thus was apprehensive about Raptor Bay being renovated. Firstly this is for the most part an entirely different course. The holes previously used by Raptor play differently currently. For instance old number one is now three, still a par 5 however you play it backwards, from old green to old tee. The vast majority of Saltleaf is comprised of brand new, previously undeveloped, land. The course is beautiful, challenging, but fair. I appreciate and enjoyed the aesthetic of the grass berms utilized throughout the remodel. The only criticism i have pertains to the practice facilities. It is a netted hitting area and practice putting green. I was unable to garner much feedback from my swing in such a confined space. The old practice facilities at Raptor were far superior…alas it appears that area will become a tower. Overall the course is excellent, and stands out in an area replete with mundane courses. I recommend. Hopefully the practice facilities will be upgraded to match the quality of the course, particularly for the price.
