Saddlebrook Resort
About Saddlebrook Resort
Since 1981, Saddlebrook Resort has been a go-to-destination for golfers, located just 30 miles north of Tampa International Airport. The resort's two original Arnold Palmer designs are being redesigned in 2025 into a 27-hole combination by Rees Jones. This entirely new playing experience will pair with a new 13-acre practice facility, home to a two-sided range, and golf school to engage golfers. A world-class tennis facility is another major attraction of this resort. A sweeping $92 million transformation will reimagine the 451-room resort from the ground up – positioning it among the nation’s premier leisure and sports resorts.Facts

Quality round
Tight little course. Bring lots of balls. Be patient. That's the key to success here. It is a bit crowded but the team does a great job to keep everybody moving. Great value for the money
Nice Round at Saddlebrook
Staff and ammenities were great... cold water on every cart, Hole by hole info on overhead screen, free valet parking, very friendly.. the course i played was in excellent condition (9 holes). Play a little slow, but okay. Despite hot weather everything went well. Will play again!
STUPID PROCEDURES
This is the most difficult course I have ever played just to get checked in and get a cart. Valet parking ONLY which is very far from check in at Pro shop and then to get a cart. The course was fun and most employees were very nice but because of the procedure to check in and get a cart, I will NEVER play there again!!!
Saddlebrook Resort - Pine/Oak
The course was in great condition. Had a strong, 10 minute downpour on the 2nd hole. Course handled the rain very well. The redesign to 3, 9-hole courses is fantastic. Have not played the Cypress yet but will be back!
Played Oak/Cypress, for first time since the re-design. The course is in excellent condition, other than most sand traps had not been worked on since the last rains. Of 5 bunker shots in our group, only 1 trap had a sandy texture; the rest were like playing on concrete. Greens were a little slower than expected, but very well maintained. Fairways and tee boxes were very good. A good golf outing!
Well Done Saddlebrook !
Honestly, gave up on this course two years ago and had taken it off our regular course considerations. The transformation is extensive and very impressive. Course layout and condition is on par with Lake Jovita. Driving paths between holes are long and confusing, but worth the drive for the new hole layouts. Hats off to the Saddlebrook team for the time, effort and money restoring this course.
Great course horrible staff
This course has so much potential. Great practice facility. The guys running it make you feel very uncomfortable if you’re not a member.
Couples
First time playing after reconstruction. Beautiful work!
Course redue looks great
Awesome updates to the course can’t wait until the greens are rolling faster!
Impressed
I had the opportunity to play the Pines-9 and Oaks-9, and what a fun round that was! The course is in very good shape - and when you consider our drought and how a lot of other courses in the area are handling it - Saddlebrook is doing everything right! Played the white tees, and had a lot of proper approach shots - used every club in the bag I think - not a driver/wedge course, for sure! Complimentary bottled water, complimentary valet parking - I felt like I was getting away with something. My only knocks would be that there was a twosome 2 groups ahead that held up our threesome for the entire 2nd nine, and some folks might think the greens were too slow, but we played late in the day and they were still rolling very true, just not extremely fast.
I’ll definitely be back, and will bring friends!
Great, but slow
Got a hot deal. Course was in amazing shape, really enjoyed the layout, have nothing to complain about there .The course was empty minus the 3 groups in front of me, no one came out ever to speed up play.. 5 hours is preposterous in mid June with the course empty.
One of the best in the area
Amazing golf course and such a friendly staff, specially Steve he checked on us twice and refilled our water and ice. I will recommend this course to anyone that looking to have a great golf round.
Great Redesign and fairways perfect
I recently played Sadddlebrook, because my brother recommended it. I was so happy I did. The last time I played there was two years ago. They have done a total redesign and added a new range and practice area. The staff was great, and after our round we used the on-site restaurant, which had plenty of TVs, and the food was excellent as well.
