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. Good times

Had a nice time playing this course despite it having rained heavily the day before and it was cart path only. The pace of play was slow because of that. One group let us play through but then we got stuck behind another group that had an old timer who could barely walk. It took him 5 minutes to walk from the cart to his ball and back after hitting it 30 yards. We ended up skipping a hole to play through as they didn't bother offering to let us. Would like to come back and play again with better conditions.

Course was reasonably good greens were painfully slow

Greens were always good when I played previously. They ran about 7 stimp. Were inconsistent and brutal to put on. Fortunately got it on a hot deal so I don’t feel completely bad about it. Played the Palmer course last week and it was 100% better!

Good Again

The day was very wet but the course was mostly playable. Cart path only. Fairways and greens good shape. Valet only is a little inconvenient.

Great day of golfing

Saddlebrook Palmer course was in great shape and well worth the $50 deal we received. My only complaint is there’s isn’t enough signage or direction when you arrive. We had to valet, but was included in the price of golf. There was no direction to the club house which is a good 5 min walk from the front. Had to ask where to go.

Nice Course at a good price

This was a very nice day. From valet to the starter and everyone we went in between was extremely nice and friendly. It was our first time playing there and would recommend to everyone to play. The course is challenging yet fun for all types of players and we will be back to play again and again.

Weeds in Greens

Nice course, but greens need a lot of attention (weeds)! Fairways are average. Need to bring the course conditions up to the price we are paying!

Nice track

Tees re growing

fairways playable

greens grainy but medium speed i would guess 8.5 on stimp

Overall nice track cant wait to play again.

ONLY issue is long walk to pro shop if no shuttle which we didnt get after 10m mins.

Shot 36 on the back.

Staff went overboard to get us a tee time swapped us from a course that had a tourny to the better course Palmer, so for staff great...

Walk a mile in these Footjoys

If you can somehow find the main clubhouse area, you then have to ask for them to open gates to park, then you have to walk a mile to the pro shop, then take a cart across property to the range, then take the cart all the back across property to the first tee. By the time you tee off you’re praying the course is incredible. Luckily the layout was good and the conditions for December were acceptable. Would I suggest you play here? No. Was it still fun? Of course! It’s golf!
