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

Must play
Pick the Palmer course. In my opinion, the better of the two. Always love playing here. Tough from the blues, no pushover from the whites, either!

Great challenging course
The only real issue that I have with the course is that a few of the greens we’re patchwork from repairs other than that the greens were great fairways were great. Nice course

Always like both of Saddlebrooks courses
We played the saddlebrook course this time I believe they were letting some of the greens grow to let some spots heal up. It left some inconsistencies in the speeds from hole to hole but the course was in great shape overall.
