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.

Well worth the cost

The course was in great shape. Tees were clean and greens were looking great and rolling great. The staff greeted me with respect to social distancing and wore a mask. One bummer was that valet was not available, obviously for safety reasons. Cart staff even chase me down while I was walking away to let me know that I left my drink mug on the cart. Saddlebrook Palmer course is one of my favorite courses in the Tampa Bay Area.

Best in Area

I’ve played 10-12 different courses this summer, and this is the best golf I found. Great greens, fun Palmer layout, excellent golf. This is my new favorite in Tampa Bay.

Nice Course

I’m a 11 handicapper. Course is in good overall condition. It’s really hot today so there’s a lot of grass on the greens, therefore they’re running a little bit slow. . It’s a great course for $45 or less. I would not play it for $75. Traditional golf course, but if you strike the ball solid it’s not that difficult to score here.

Course is in great condition for this area.

I play on June 26, this course maybe one of the best shape courses in the Tampa area. The greens were in great shape. They putted a little slow, but that is because they didn't cut them supper tight because of the heat. We are in a heat wave this week.

The fairways were in good condition and tee boxes were ok.

I purchased my round on Golfnow, which made a great round for the price.

Resort Style Course

The course was in nice shape, greens a touch slow but this time of year the speed at which grass grows and also the amount of rainfall, it’s expected. The course is fun, but not very interesting. Certainly a resort style course where they sell the ambiance of playing Florida golf.

After Father's Day gift

My wife and I really enjoyed playing this course. The layout is good with both traditional holes and challenging/tricky holes. The greens were in excellent shape. The grass was a little sparse in some approach areas and some tee boxes, but the fairways were primarily in great shape. The staff in the golf shop, on the shuttle carts, and on the beverage cart were all friendly and eager to please. I certainly intend to play this course again.

Terrible pace of play

Group in front decided to play the tips and took at least 25 min a hole. Reached out to the pro shop twice and said they would do their best. No ranger to be found. Overall the track was in good condition. I would look for a hot deal on golf now, other than that it’s not worth it.

Outstanding

My first time here and I will be back. The course was in great shape. The front nine was pristine. The speed of the greens was just right. I was able to go out alone and did not have to wait very long between shots. Just under 4 hours to play on a Saturday morning. The staff was top notch from the valet girl driving me to my car all the way through. Excellent day.

Fun and a challenge

Enjoy this course, greens have a lot of undulations. They’re a little slow but roll true. Fairways in good condition with some bare spots but not a big problem because mostly good shape. Played in under 4 hrs so pace of play was excellent. Would like to play again because course knowledge would’ve made for a better round.

In Good Shape

The Palmer course at Saddlebrook has always been very hit and miss for me. Either it is too slow, or it is too wet, or something holds me back from loving the course. This time was different. From tee to green the course was in phenomenal shape. We played a round in 3 hours. Weather was nice. It was really a pleasant day. One thing to note is the greens are tough and if you're going to score well you need to be on with the flat-stick.

Course crowded, had 3 groups with same t-time. Way too pricy for conditions and pace of play.
