Saddlebrook at Saddlebrook Golf & Tennis Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
The Saddlebrook Resort boasts 36 holes of championship golf designed by Arnold Palmer. The resort sprawls across 480 acres of lush, rolling hills covered with groves of tall cypress trees and swaying palms that weave through sparkling blue lagoons. The Saddlebrook Course is the tighter and flatter of the two courses at the resort but the layout offers a mix of wide and narrow fairways. Palmer equipped the layout with beautifully designed par 4s and par 5s framed with moss-draped cypresses. Water is a more prominent feature on this golf course with ponds and lakes coming into play on 14 holes. There are also more than 50 sand bunkers that are strategically placed along the greensides and near the landing zones on a few of the doglegs. The course has a memorable finish with a lengthy par 4 that doglegs right with water all along the right side.

Enjoyed the course
I enjoyed the course. This is the first time I’ve played the Saddle brooks course. Pace was great. I wish they had water on the course or 2 in the cart like some courses do. Other than that it’s a great course and a great deal. I’m playing the Palmer course next.
Fun Course
Saddlebrook is a fun course to play , finished in 4 hours on a fairly busy Saturday!
Valet only no bag drop.
Overall facilities were in good shape pace of play was good.
Unfortunately, someone had the brilliant idea of using the resort valet as the parking for the golf course so we sat for 15 minutes waiting to park you then stand to put your shoes on in the line while everyone behind you fumes and getting out was even worse 35 minutes to get our car after carrying our clubs a quarter of a mile to get there The kicker is also that they validate in the pro shop so there’s no point in doing this . Poor planning
Great conditions love the layout!
The course is in great shape , it rates as good as any of the best courses in the Tampa area!
Nice track
Staff at drop off area only helped when I asked where to go as it was my first time there, valets were there for the first day so unexperienced. Second green a ball bounced off our cart as we were walking to it. I also thought there would be better grassed fairways. After that all went great!
Sabblebrook
The course is in great shape and we could not have asked for better weather. I try to play Saddlebrook every 3 or 4 months, and this is the nicest it has been in years.
No answer
We couldn’t play because we must go to Alabama for business. I wrote two mails to the golfclub to asking if we could get our money back. No answer. So we paid 120 $ for nothing.
Beautiful Course
I passed this course often but had never played. I was able to get a good deal on GolfNow and decided to give it a go. The course gets progressively more challenging as you move through the holes. All in all, I had a great time playing this course.
Holiday
We played at 3pm each day for 3 days. Great pace until we caught up to thr earlier afternoon groups. Finhshed each round in 3.30h. Great value. Course good....greens were sanded. Most Tbox chewed up and burned. Faiiways good.
Great day on the course
Great weather, great conditions, staff was helpful and friendly, pace of play was good and everything fell together (except the greens were still recovering from being punched but were top-dressed well and still rolled pretty true). All in all it was a capital experience!
