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

Not please with the conditions
Resort is under a great deal of improvements. Didn't like the pro shop lay back situation and the range location is almost five minutes away.

Very good except. . .
Very good course. Nice tee boxes. Fairways good condition. Layout challenging but fun. Only complaint is speed of greens. Unusually slow. Only firm putts allowed! The slowest greens I’ve played.

Picked a bad day to play. Greens were overdressed with sand. Wish I had known that in advance. Closed a street near the driving range so you had to go all around the perimeter to get to it on a golf cart. No parking for a car there.

Saddleback experience A Must!
So worth the drive to have a Saddleback golf experience!
The layout is really fun, makes you use most clubs in your bag. The greens are protected by bunkers and undulation to make your shots into the green a great experience. You have opportunities to hit it in the water so pack a ball retriever and few extra balls. Really enjoyed the Saddleback experience. Get on-line and get a tee time on the Saddleback course. Assume the Palmer experience is equal!
