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

Saddlebrook Experience a 10!
An absolute gem! Phenomenal layout and incredible greens. Truly a slice of heaven! Am coming back again to play the Palmer TODAY (March 5th 2024). Almost too good to be true type of place. My brother from Massachusetts said the same thing!

The course is a good course
The course is good could be a little bit better for the money you pay and for them having a true golf school. Definitely will go back and play again.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL track! Mint condition!
What a gem! Worth the 50 minute drive from
Westchase area I was visiting in Tampa. Planning on coming back again for sure! Greens were
Incredible. I lost quite a few golf balls, but that’s on me!🙂

Play elsewhere
The Palmer course is in terrible shape.
They are letting the front nine to go fallow as we were told they will be tearing it up in April for a new practice range. Good thing as the range is bad as well.
Find another venue.,,.

Good course
Course is in good shape. The numerous sand traps are well maintained. The greens are fair with reasonable speed. Course was busy on a Friday afternoon and we played in 4 hours.
