Saddlebrook Resort
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.Facts

Course conditions currently is not playable
The course is currently not in a playable condition as drainage seems inadequate and there is significant water and muck across the fairways. Under normal conditions I have always enjoyed the course.
Swamp
It was a little tricky cuz you had to start on the back nine and then make a long trip to the front nine because of the weather conditions. It has been raining a lot lately so it was unexpectable but it was a swamp. Overall the course is laid out really nice and I really enjoyed the rolling the hills
We loved this golf course
They are in the process of making some changes so it was a little confusing finding the golf shop. But the attendants were extremely helpful and very friendly. We fully enjoyed our visit.
Update this app
I booked a hot deal last minute made the drive. I arrived at the gate 40 minutes before my tee time and the guard didn't tell me not to follow GPS and that took me to the tennis courts. By the time I found my way around the resort to the valet, and got a shuttle to the the clubhouse I lost 20 minutes. Then as I'm checking in they tell me that not only is there no longer 2 18 hole courses but of the 27 holes left only 9 are playable. Slightly annoyed I have to play the same 9 twice I went to get a cart and go. I find out it's a 5 minute cart drive to the range and and other 5 minute cart ride to the course. So I rushed to the range to hit a half a dozen quick balls before rushing to the tee box as to not be late. After getting there 40 minutes early. The 9th hole had 20 landscapers resodding the fairway so it was shortened to a 100 yard par 3. So effectively only 8.5 playable holes. That said I would absolutely play the course again once they sort out whatever they're doing. Would have been great to know before booking that the course was not as advertised. Not worth the hour drive for a 9 hole course. Nice property and great staff. Someone needs to update on here
Nice course
Friendly staff and nice amenities with a resort like feel !
Course looks good considering all the rain we have been having..the layout is a bit weird but overall a good course would recommend definitely going again
Great experience!
Great Golf course, sometimes layout was confusing and orientation was tricky, but otherwise it is a nice course!
3/5
Staff was awesome, pace was fantastic. The course scenery is beautiful, aesthetically pleasing. Course conditions weren’t the best. Soggy fairways, slow choppy greens.
BRING EXTRA BALLS. Thin fairways, accuracy is absolutely paramount. If you’re newer/beginner… good luck. If you miss the fairways it’s either hitting water or in the woods. “Good” or playable shots at other courses are a death sentence here. No bar cart. Bathroom was locked midway through 9, had to wait till the turn.
Overall 3/5. We may come back when renovations are done, and when we both get our pro cards.
Temporary holes
1st time playing this course and there were al least 5 temporary holes, the course was in ok shape as a lot of rain had fallen in the last few days. The course was supposed to be one of the good ones in the area, guess we had a bit of bad luck.
Course under construction and in terrible condition.
Save your money. Course under massive construction with 2 or 3 holes improvised on the front. Soggy fairways, terrible greens.
Great value
The course is still being renovated so gps apps won’t work and their scorecard is still off, but the tees, fairways, and greens are in great shape. Staff is excellent too!
