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.

Great course, but...

It’s a resort style course. With its being in season there where definitely a lot of people on the course. Course conditions were fairly well. A couple of the greens had some repairs done to them recently. With it being in season a lot of people are walking around the greens where the main pool is at. 18 had a lot of people walking up and down the cart path leading up to the green and no one seemed to care that they were on the course.

Great Day at Saddlebrook Golf Club

This is the first time that we’ve played the Arnold Palmer course at Saddlebrook. The greens were fast and the fairways were in good shape except for hole number 1, which had a muddy patch. That was the only hole that we experienced that. The course is challenging and it’s important that you place the ball in the fairway so that you set yourself up for a good 2nd shot. The greens are just as challenging if you haven’t place your ball near the pin.

Good time, but slow play and extremely wet

Course was good, just very wet considering no rain in a few days - lots of mud balls! Once of play an issue with no Marshall. Front 9 in 1:20, back in 2:25 due to three some 3 groups ahead. Only real negative of the day

How were the practice facilities there? On the range could you hit off turf, or only mats?

Great Outing

Relatives came to town and was able to get out and play Saddlebrook, got a great rate on Golfnow. Course was in very good shape, greens were a bit slow. Pace of play was excellent, played the round in less than four hours.

Palmer Course, Saddlebrook

Played this course today for the first time. Absolutely loved it. The greens were a little slow but other than that it was awesome. Logan in the pro shop was very friendly & professional. Can’t wait to go back.

Great course, but condition could be better

I actually like the layout of the Saddlbrook course better than the Palmer. Tee boxes and fairways were in excellent condition, but greens are pretty rough. Rained all night and part of the way through my round so course was a bit soggy. Although, not as bad as I expected. Proshop guy offered for me to play the Palmer course for the lower price of the Saddlbrook, but I was set to try it out and happy I did.

Resort Course

Such a fun layout... but you better know where and when to hit driver. Bunkers, tee boxes and fairways were good. Greens need some work, but didn’t effect putts that I had. Really hit some juicy wedges in close and only 3 putted “if I needed to.” I owned the par 3’s today. The post round cigar and Hamburger tasted oh so good after a 6 net 5 on 18 after bailing out on a hybrid and dumping it into the pond in front of 18. Cart girls are cool here. I’ll be back next time I’m in Pasco County.
