Saltleaf Golf Preserve - The Leaf

Very pleasantly surprised. This part three course opened in May 2023. There is also a regular 18 hole course that used to be called raptor Bay that has been transformed into Salt Leaf..
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Ken, the starter was very outgoing. The par three executive course has only nine holes, and we enjoyed playing those holes twice for a total of 18
Also enjoyed lunch after our round at the salt leaf grill. The same development is where the Ritz Carlton residences. Estero Bay are being constructed.

Bring you irons and your putter and enjoy walking this par 3 executive course. Not one dent or mark on any of the putting greens.

If you are looking for a great course to work on your game from 150 yards in, this is it. Great unique concept they have. All tee boxes are excellent because they’re made with the top quality artificial turf, not the low quality stuff used on range mats. They move the hole cup everyday, the greens roll great and are true. There are sand traps and water to add some difficulty, and it’s extremely well kept. You get a great walk, and a pull cart for your clubs is provided. Staff is top shelf. I’ve played it twice and was very enjoyable and a change of pace from and 18 hole round. We played in 1 hour and 15 minutes. I’ll play it again. Fun.

We really enjoyed our round. A wonderful experience. Thank you

….,to work on short game, or for beginners to start playing. Has monster greens, and artificial turf tees. Even has practice net at first tee box, and practice green. Took an hour to walk it.

Fun little course that is in great shape, especially greens. Tees are synthetic turf- not a big deal. Good for short game. Staff super nice.

I thought I would try this as it kept coming up on Golf Now. The staff was Excellent, from the bag drop, pro shop, starter and golf cart drink attendant. All friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The course fairways and greens are in excellent shape. A nice layout for a beginner golfer or a seasoned pro. A great way to practice your short irons. Hitting off a mat using my A wedge to 7 iron. A short easy walk.

It is great for taking someone who doesn’t golf or go with a small group of skilled golfers and play your favorite side game. I recommend it!

Great walking course, immaculate greens. The only dislike was maybe hitting off the large mat tee boxes. Had fun and would play again if I’m in the area.

The staff here is great. Friendly and helpful. For a 9 hole executive course, it has a lot going for it. First, the distance from tee to pin is updated daily depending on pin placement. Yardage can be found on a post at the tee box. Course is challenging for a par 3 course. There are no carts. You either carry your bag or use a pull cart ( they supply them). Great way to tune up your iron play and/or putting. Everything is in great shape and the location is beautiful with abundant wildlife to take your mind off any poor shots. Tee boxes are mats, which is off-putting at first. But you use real tees, so in fact they’re a plus — because you can tee up anywhere in the box without having any concerns about the condition. Good value, especially with a Golf Now Hot Deal.

If you want work on your short game, this is a nice little course to practice. At roughly a 1000 yds.it makes for an easy walk, that will take about an hour. Like most golf courses S/w Florida during high season it's a bit pricey but sometimes you can find discounts. Kudos to the staff! All very accommodating and professional. Everyone with a smile! It made my day!

You have to hit off each hole on mats with short tees.

Would recommend you play 9 holes on the 18 hole course verses playing on this course. It is not for regular golfers but for families.

Enjoyed playing this. Yes, it’s overpriced, but everything is this time of year.
