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.

Best Public Course In The Area?

Saddlebrook is a resort and has two courses as well as other amenities you wouldn't see at most other courses. The Palmer is well maintained and is easily one of my favorites. Every time I play this course it is in great shape. This summer has been dry and some fairways were showing signs of burnt grass but that is about the worst thing I can say. The greens are perfect and there is a lot to offer after your round. For the price, this is the best non-private course in the area.

Great course conditions and challenging

Wasn’t very busy for a noon tee time and they let the other twosome tee off early so we had time to ourselves. The course was in great condition, challenging greens and a lot of water. The Palmer course is the “more forgiving” course. Those par 5s were brutal! Bring enough balls. Arrive early- the practice facilities are open but spread out.

This course is worth the heat!

Upon arriving, check in was well orchestrated. We promptly set out for a 4 minute cart ride to hit free range balls. All staff members were courteous and very pleasant. Tee time was spot on, no wait. The course was in superb shape. The fairways had excellent turf to hit off. The greens were a little slow, but each pin placement was challenging. All and all, a great day with money well spent.

Intermediate and above will enjoy this course.

Course was in great condition and I enjoyed the challenge. Players who are lower than intermediate level may find it more difficult than they are use to.

Hidden Gem

I've been wanting to play this course for a long time. Drove almost an hr from lakeland for the visit. Great layout on the course, greens were rolling great. Faiways & tees were nice as well. Definitely going to play there again!!

I expected more

This resort has a great reputation and I thought the course and overall resort would be excellent. I was disappointed. For this price, I would play other courses instead.

Great shape

Fairways and greens all in excellent shape. A few tee boxes are getting thin and sparse. Rough is fairly thick, not the place to be.

Course is in Great Shape

I have played this course many times in the past. The course conditions are very good for this time of year in Florida . I would like the greens to be faster but because of the undulations and design they are very challenging.

Had a great time despite the coronavirus challenges .

Apologize to the person who cuts the pins

Course was great. The weather was good... Whoever made the person that cut the pins mad please apologize. 3-foot putts easily turned into a 10-footers coming back on some holes. But greens were in great shape.
