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.

Way Over priced

Very bad condition for the money, very disappointed.

$90 fee and you can even play the right golf course , we played 6 holes in one course then you need to play the other 12 holes in a different course. I could not set my score in my app. What a mess.

Nice course, but very confusing layout.

I enjoyed playing the course, except for the 3 1/2 holes playing behind the slowest twosome ever. My gps took me to the driving range next to the highway instead of to the clubhouse, so I drove around the complex for about 10 minutes trying to figure out where I was supposed to go. The check-in process was kind of mixed up, too. The course layout is clearly not as originally designed and, despite some efforts at signage, it's very easy to get lost finding the way from one hole to the next. Then there's the half mile drive from the proshop to the 10th hole with no signage whatsoever. The cart guy had me enter the intersection on my gps! Anyway, I thought it was worthwhile to try once, but not sure I'll be back.

Nice but changed!

Will have to play again to see how the changes pan out as they’ve closed a few holes due to construction of practice facilities we were told. They’re reconfiguring the holes so it was a bit different than how it was before when we played it! Will be back to see how it goes!

Overall okay

The course layout doesn’t match gps. The back 9 carts were set to cpo even though it was 90 degrees. Could be nice when they are done.

Course conditions currently is not playable

The course is currently not in a playable condition as drainage seems inadequate and there is significant water and muck across the fairways. Under normal conditions I have always enjoyed the course.

Swamp

It was a little tricky cuz you had to start on the back nine and then make a long trip to the front nine because of the weather conditions. It has been raining a lot lately so it was unexpectable but it was a swamp. Overall the course is laid out really nice and I really enjoyed the rolling the hills

We loved this golf course

They are in the process of making some changes so it was a little confusing finding the golf shop. But the attendants were extremely helpful and very friendly. We fully enjoyed our visit.

Update this app

I booked a hot deal last minute made the drive. I arrived at the gate 40 minutes before my tee time and the guard didn't tell me not to follow GPS and that took me to the tennis courts. By the time I found my way around the resort to the valet, and got a shuttle to the the clubhouse I lost 20 minutes. Then as I'm checking in they tell me that not only is there no longer 2 18 hole courses but of the 27 holes left only 9 are playable. Slightly annoyed I have to play the same 9 twice I went to get a cart and go. I find out it's a 5 minute cart drive to the range and and other 5 minute cart ride to the course. So I rushed to the range to hit a half a dozen quick balls before rushing to the tee box as to not be late. After getting there 40 minutes early. The 9th hole had 20 landscapers resodding the fairway so it was shortened to a 100 yard par 3. So effectively only 8.5 playable holes. That said I would absolutely play the course again once they sort out whatever they're doing. Would have been great to know before booking that the course was not as advertised. Not worth the hour drive for a 9 hole course. Nice property and great staff. Someone needs to update on here
