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

Good course. Good value
I personally liked the old setup better with the Palmer and Saddlebrook courses. The new 27 hole format has removed some very good holes from the course. Overall the course was still good and greens were very good.
Very friendly staff. Kyle was very helpful! Had a very enjoyable day and look forward to playing again.
Great course
Play the course weekly staff knows me
By name great crew and grounds!
Amazing Green and layout
The course was so pretty and well-maintained. The first 9 holes were a bit behind, but since the team in front only played the first half, I enjoyed the second 9 holes leisurely. The greens were somewhat challenging and fast enough to be difficult to lie on. The course was pretty and difficult, with many ponds. It's a course I want to go to again.
Won't be back
Very disappointed with the visit. Course was in tough shape, routines were confusing and no GPS. Required valet and inconvenient check in experience seemed meant to extract tips.
Course was in marginal condition.
Still recovering
Hurricanes have raised havoc with course. Still in recovery, multiple trees still down, traditional layout of 36 holes no longer, reconfigured 27 holes, must follow signs for rerouting of holes. Greens decent, one green had fresh sand spread with clumps on top. Rest stop on Cyprus 9 was negelected and unsanitary.
Absolute delight. Phenomenal layout. Great greens. Some tough carries on some holes. Elevated greens guarded by bunkers. Always take one more iron tha
Had a blast. Some tough carries! Learned to take one or two more irons than I thought due to elevated greens.
Greens were fabulous.
Course layout confusing. Valet parking is not my preference.
Under re-design
The course appears to be under a major redesign. The current setup is literally all over the place. Due to this, the GPS on the carts are shut off and the course is not well marked. I would not play this course in this condition for any price.
Much Improved
The course has changed from the original Palmer and Saddlebrook but has kept the challenge they offered.
Arrive early to take advantage of the included driving range before heading to the course.
Fairways and greens are in tip top shape except where they are rebuilding a new tee box
My only concern was the GPS system in the carts which was not updated to reflect the new course layout.
just hard to find
no clear sign to practice and the layout has changed
