Palmer at Saddlebrook Golf & Tennis Resort

Played today. Staff very friendly! No water on the course at all. No bathrooms either. Prepare yourself accordingly in these exceptionally hot days! Most greens ok. Some greens had some big holes and crabgrass growing on them. Rough is extremely high and very hard to find your golf ball if you go off the fairway. Our group lost 10-15 golf balls in the rough. Just ridiculous! Not sure if we’ll be back anytime soon. Course needs water jugs set up on the course. Also, need restrooms.

Golf course is tough, but everything was in great conditions what made it very enjoyable.

I don't think this course is worth playing until the renovations have been completed. From taking a shuttle to get to the resort to the pro shop not having my reservation to the rough being unplayable to the large crabgrass patches on the greens, it was a disappointment. Not the resort course I remember

Played here with some friends who were in visiting. The course is in slightly rough shape and tee boxes are bad. Parking was horrible as it said valet was included, but then we were told we would need to go park in overflow parking and take a shuttle which took all of the time we allotted for the range to warm up. Asked staff where to go and it seemed as though we inconvenienced them. Cart guys were fantastic though and helped give us directions of where things were.

The course overall was in good condition, 1st issue was we had to walk from the valet to the pro shop. When we loaded the cart we were not told it was cart path only. Twice the cart shut off and we had to push it back to the path. There was no drink cart and the concession area after the ninth wasn't open. We got caught in a bad storm and there was no shelter.

The Staff is very friendly and helpful. Course is in very good condition , greens are rolling welll not lightning fast but they rolll true. Great layout.

Never having played here before, and I must admit I am not a good player, but I was very impressed with this course.
The conditions were fine considering it’s summer in Florida. Greens were fast, tee boxes could happen have been better, but hey…
Pace of play was terrible as group in front of us was very slow, hacking the ball all over the place, but that’s not on the course.
I really look forward to playing again in slightly cooler weather!
Plus this beautiful peacock on the 14th tee-

Didn’t live up to the hype for me. I was not overly impressed. Very confusing on where the clubhouse was exactly. People working there were great and friendly. Course was in good shape and condition. ( Palmer course). Just wasn’t a wow factor for supposedly being 1 of Tampa’s best courses.
Greens were excellent and super fast and rolling.
I will probably try the saddle brook course just for fun but won’t expect much.

Parking is a nightmare ... they need to figure it out.

Got an amazing bargain $30 rate through Golfnow and couldn't wait to play. This course is in MUCH better condition than any other non-private course in the area. Greens were smooth and consistent. Some rough spots in the fairways, but they were few and far between. Highly recommended.
