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.

Sucks they only have the back 9 of the saddlebrook course open (cypress) but they are pretty well maintained & challenging greens and well placed bunkers make it fun. Great practice facility with free balls too

No Practice

Driving range is closed -- under construction. Practice green/chipping green was closed when I went (not sure if that's permanent). So unfortunately, I had to warm up on the course. Played the 9 hole cypress course. It was pretty well maintained. Greens were in good shape. Some holes had a fairly difficult layout but nothing crazy. Other holes were very straightforward. A decent variation of bunkers, water hazards, trees, etc. Wasn't your typical Florida course where you're hitting between two sets of tightly spaced homes. Overall I enjoyed it, especially for the value, and will be back.

Could be better

Greens were great. Very challenging and in good condition. Staff was very friendly. Other than that, course was average and was very dry. Desperately needs water. I only remember one healthy tee box the whole 18. Would not pay full price to play this course.

Layout of the course was very poor! They’re doing construction and I got lost 4 times. Not much signage to tell you where you’re going.

Amazing course! Everything else ok

What you may reads in reviews is not wrong. I’m sure the pace of play can be slow and the course layout is funky since Saddlebrook switched to 3 9-hole courses. But this course is amazing, truly.

The security guard in the booth out by the main road was zero help and should be fired. He seemed hung over and completely disinterested in giving proper directions to the pro shop which led to 10 minutes of driving around looking.

Valet is the only parking options and you have to then be transported by shuttle to the pro shop. This whole experience is a bit of a hassle.

The guy in the pro shop was very friendly, as was the ranger. So the whole check in process was somewhat rough and dysfunctional.

Also, the course is cut up weird now and you’ll find yourself driving in the main road far too frequently.

However, the condition of the course more than made up for these setbacks. The setting is beautiful and every green, tee box, and fairway was pristine.

In spite of the stressful early process, I will definitely be back!

Course Changes

The layout of the course is really bad. They are trying to update the course layout after taking out 9 holes. They still don't have the correct answer. Wait to play here.

👎

For some some reason they have decided to take two excellent 18 hole courses and chop them up into three nine hole courses….they have “yard sale” type signage directing you to the next hole, sometimes as much as a quarter mile away! The GPS systems on the carts have issues, some don’t even work. What a cluster 😩

Would play again

Visited the area and used Golf Now app. Found a hot deal on this course and booked it. Beautiful course, good layout. My driver wasn't working so I shot 108, however you can go low on this course if you play smart.

Greens are awesome! Rolled very true, with enough speed to make a downhill slider slip quick on you.

Played with my 73 year old father from the back tees, and he kicked my butt. Water is all over the course, but not really in play.

Would 100% play again!

Dated but still has teeth

Enjoyable course with some challenging water holes, would play again.

But the whole resort layout is odd, valet parking is over the top, hard to find the pro shop and even the first tee. But once squared away, a fun diversion.

All the people I met were courteous and helpful.
