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.

Resort Course

So not so challenging, and you can expect slow round. VERY difficult to find 1st on Palmer! Some nice holes, but over-all not bad, but not great. Fairly short. Probably will not return, but value and staff were excellent.

Palmer Course disappointing

First time in 2 years we had been out to the Palmer 18 at Saddlebrook. What was immediately obvious was that they had not cut the fairways in several days. It was like playing out of straggly rough. The greens were OK, but you could see where some had damage. The bunkers were actually in the best condition I had seen them. Plenty of sand and it was not packed down or wet.

The halfway house was open for the first time in 12 years. Hooked up with a single about 12 holes into the round. He said that normally the fairways were good, but the greens were "hairy" . It looks like they may have a money issue. Didn't see any maintenance workers out there.

Palmer Course - Nice layout

Wide fairways, greens in decent shape. Course amenities and facilities were in disrepair and very dated.

Rough Shape

Frustrating that the course upkeep is so inconsistent. Tee box grass was as long as the rough, greens had burned out patches. Played a month ago and the course was manicured beautifully?
