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.

The Reviews tell the story

The course is in pretty good shape. The greens look great and are rolling true, not to fast or slow. The tee boxes and fairways have some good and some rough spots. The bunkers are very soft like waking on the beach.

Staff was Very friendly. Still no water to drink due to Covid so bring plenty. Cart girl was out and we saw her twice in the first 13 holes.

EXCELLENT DAY & EXCELLENT COURSE

Today, I played an incredible course for the first time with three other friends.

We had a beautiful sunny day.

The course is Immaculate from the fairways to the greens.

I would give this course an A+ rating.

We all said we would return to play this course very soon.

The atmosphere was amazing all day long.

I would recommend this course to all who desire to play on an excellent course.

What made the day complete is that I ended up shooting a real good score.

Glad I Played

I only live 45 minutes from this course but had never played it or seen the entire property. I was very impressed by the overall experience. It definitely has that resort course feel. Not a long course so hitting driver isn't always best option. The greens are very sloped so all the pin placements were about 1-3 yards from the fringe so that was not my favorite but they have no other choice cause it would be an illegal pin placement.

Great golf resort. Course in wonderful shape. Fun track. Very challenging from back tees. Must have all parts of your game going well. Small greens for a resort course which makes it that much more challenging. Want to replay for sure.

Worth the drive

Despite 90 min drive, decided to play for the first time because of resort reputation, special price, and desire to get out of my area during this trying time.

Staff super helpful. Fairways in good condition. Greens also well maintained, but very fast.

One quirk- cannot drive to clubhouse. Must be picked up in parking lot by cart that comes by every few minutes. Otherwise a fairly long walk.

Great shape

Palmer course was awesome as always. Greens held good shots into them and putted true . Fairways were cut short enough for ball to run out yet enough height to keep the ball teed up nicely in the fairways. Most of the times the staff is super friendly. Walt must-have been having a bad day with this one man whom kept interrupting him as he was giving direction to the range. Cause he got short with his replys. But still friendly. Beverage cart gal was super friendly as she offered iced down beers for your enjoyment. Didn't have valet this day but I didn't mind at all. I've got another round booked already here.

Excellent As Always

Played with the covid-19 precautions in place. The course was in great shape with fast greens per usual. Pace of play was slower than normal but given covid-19 it is better than most places. Will definitely play again.

Challenging layout, Great condition

Enjoyable round. Tee times are currently spread out due to coronavirus, so pace of play was quick. Greens are in great shape, but difficult - lots of undulations. A few tee boxes are rough and bare, otherwise the course is in excellent condition.

Great Day

Had a 12:18 tee time but was able to go off about 20 minutes early

Pace was great 3 and a half hours we were a twosome.

Though because of covid all water stations were closed

So we played 18 with no water at all .

Wish I could say the same for my game but that’s another story.

Greens were in great shape but a little slow

We played the Palmer course

Great Place

I play here often so it goes without saying the course is in great shape and is a challenge from any tee box. The fairways and greens are in great condition.

This review is more about the (limited) staff. Kyle in the pro shop is top notch and is always friendly. Under the circumstances we are currently living they have one guy doing the work of several running between the cart barn and the driving range. They are all doing a fantastic job keeping everything clean and taking all the necessary precautions. So please keep that in mind and give the guy a nice tip. In case your wondering...no I don’t work here nor am I a member.

I’m looking forward to when all the employees come back because they’re all a bunch of great people.

Thank you guys!!!

Awesome Day

Beautiful throughout. Some challenges for a few tight fairways that will call you for placement over distance. Great shape everywhere. Loved it. Will most def be back.

Fun course, good condition

Greens were in great shape, pin positions were brutal. Only complaint was a few of the tee boxes in rough shape. Other than that, very much enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend.

Great Morning

Another great experience at Saddlebrook. I messed up when making my tee time and Neil in the Pro Shop was more than willing to help me out and help me avoid looking like a moron to my buddy...thanks Neil!!! As always the Palmer course was in great condition; the greens and fairways are fantastic. We had a few foursomes in front of the two of us and still completed 18 holes in under four hours.

My only complaint is with #5 and that’s not due to anything other than me and that hole don’t get along. I should probably just start skipping it and save myself the aggravation.

We usually like sitting down having a beer poolside after the round, unfortunately due to the current situation all the outside amenities are closed.

Again, thanks to the staff for another enjoyable morning.

Gorgeous. Great amenities

Fantastic shape. Greens were rather green and pretty true. Notice said 5 greens were under repair but I could not find one not in immaculate shape Fairways were green and not patchy at all, sand was beautiful white(Yes did find a trap or two). Fantastic layout for all skill levels I'd say. Full service place, valet parking amenities like none I've seen super friendly staff. Makes me want to move into this complex. Wow!!! will definitely play at least once next year when I come back. Wish I could give more than five stars
