Saddlebrook Resort

This place is so dated. It looks old and worn down.

Course was in terrible shape. Greens have patches on them and are extremely slow.

A ball in the fairway was like a ball in the rough. Did not cut the fairways at all.

They should be ashamed of themselves for letting people play on those conditions and charging them money.

It is certainly not a resort course.

It gets a one star from me because I cannot submit this review without giving it at least one star.

We were told upon check in that the property was officially being sold the next day. The entire resort looked like its best days were well behind it and in desperate need of a renovation; same could be said for the golf course. It’s a really good layout with a ton of potential if better kept. Carts definitely need GPS as well because there are trouble spots all over the place that are blind and reachable off the tee we had no clue were there.

All in all if Troon can restore and improve the turf conditions and amenities this could be a special place again.

Very disappointed, no reason that the greens were in such poor conditions ... made it difficult to enjoy the round - very frustrating !

Greens needed cut (very slow), and fairways needed cut, almost like they may have been over-seeded.

Tee boxes were pretty chewed up.

If course conditions are iffy in prime Florida golf season in February, I hate to see what they may be when the weather turns hot and wet.

One the plus side, I have been playing this course for years, and the staff here is among the most friendly and helpful of anywhere I play. I don't doubt for a minute that they are doing the best they can with the resources they have at their disposal. By all means, come and play, but don't expect conditions from Saddlebrook's heyday.

Great course. A definite challenge with lots of water, narrow fairways and well trap greens. A few greens were being repaired, but really good turf, grass around the greens and good traps. You have to park a distance away but are “ferried” to the clubhouse. Will play again

This was my first time playing the course. It was in good condition for the time of year. The course is challenging with plenty of water and traps to get in your way. The course is not extremely long but you better be accurate with your tee shots. If you're not a fairly good player I wouldn't play it unless you enjoy losing a lot of balls.

Noon tee time. Our foursome was second on the tee. Pace of play was good. Course conditions were typical of the dry weather Florida has been experiencing.

Greens rolled well, all in all a good experience and would gladly go back.

Fantastic day at Saddlebrooke. Golf course in terrific shape throughout. Only issue, golf carts are deplorable.
