Saltleaf Golf Preserve - The Preserve

Course was in great shape love the new layout from raptor bay. Would recommend. You also get a hat and cup with your round.

Will be returning, great place, conditions and staff.

Too expensive. Course kind of boring. Par 3 holes very generic. Back 9 holes all see the same.

Newly redone course excellent staff and clubhouse very quick play had a 2 some and we finished in 3 hours. Course needs to grow out a little but nice layout
Fast greens got a deal time rate so was a good value but at regular prices not worth it yet

I played as the second group off. As such, it was at a discounted price. The course was in great shape and well maintained. The staff was very helpful. I read other reviews lamenting the fact that there was no practice range. I felt what was offered was a reasonable replacement. Land next to the Gulf is at a premium and the course itself did not skimp on space between holes and future development. Some courses are very claustrophobic, with water on one side condominiums on the other. Not so at this time! . It's a challenging course and look forward to playing again on my next visit.

Raptor Bay was part of my 4-some's regular rotation. I really looked forward to playing there and I was very sorry to see it go. I was anxiously awaiting the opening of SaltLeaf and looking forward to this round, It is a completely different course. What I liked: The Staff is top notch and everyone here is professional and it shows. The pro shop is very well done and is well stocked, The restaurant has retained the chef and this place aways had one of my favorite cheeseburgers and I enjoyed a great burger, fries & cold beer on this day! The staff at the bar also top notch. The greens are excellent , fast, true and hard to hold. Speed was consistent on all 18 greens, Nice job here. The fairways are perfect , no bad lies on these fairways. Tee boxes all good. I did not like the driving range part of the practice area, Raptor had a really nice driving range and this was a disappointment. The putting area part of the practice range I really liked. It represented the green speed on the course very well. I found holes # 2 & # 3 to be confusing for the 1st timer and was fortunate that the starter took the time to advise on strategy & landing area. #11-17 were all fairly easy & I found the SL back nine less challenging than the old RB back nine. Overall I had a really nice day but miss Raptor Bay.

Very nice course but felt like it was underwhelming for the price I paid. Outstanding conditions but just felt cookie cutter.

Beautiful track, remarkable shape for being week 3 of its existence. I will also say I’ve never met friendly staff at a golf course of this calibre.

The course is in fantastic shape and the greens rolled very nice. The bunkers definitely add a ton of character to the course. I am looking forward to playing in again now that I’ve played it once. The $220 greens fee is a bit aggressive, but if you ignore the price, it’s a fun day. There are no holes in the putting green which completely sucks. Also, the driving range is turf into a net. Not the best experience. The practice facility gets a C-. The course gets an A.

Could not give a 5 star as the cost is too steep. Not worth the 299 compared to other course you can play in that range. Staff was great, bar was great and the greens were great. Layout is boring and the par 3’s had no flare so if you’re a golfer the course itself is not worth the money. Not sure I will try it again unless the price drops in the summer. I recommend if you don’t care about value. This is 149- 175 course.

The course was beautiful and even though it’s fairly new, the greens and fairways played as though they were mature. The course is VERY forgiving. Fairways are very wide, there are no sand bunkers, just waste areas which are easy to hit off. Many of the waste areas are bordered by sod walls to knock the ball back onto the course. And the greens are the size of Texas. I scored pretty well considering I have never played the course before, but when I entered my score into GHIN, I realized that it was a terrible score given the slope and rating. If you want to shoot a low score and feel good, this is a place to do that. If you play here often, I suggest playing the course longer than you normally would or your handicap will end up going up.

Played in the wind and 50° cold so that did not help my impressions of the course. Pace of play was excellent since I was the only idiot on the course in these conditions. Staff is super friendly, the course is in immaculate shape but visually it is very bland. With little or no definition between fairway and greens and very little rough it is hard to pick out a spot to aim for since everything looks the same. Makes it tough to get comfortable with your distances. The waste areas are easily played out of and the revetted bunkering is a nice touch. Hitting off of matts in the truncated practice area is only good for a quick warm up. I understand that paying customers get a hat and mug possibly, I guess $150 didn't get me to that level. May try it again on a warmer day.

After a few tough beginning holes the course opens up and plays nicely. The waste bunkers weren’t really a problem. Greens were very firm since they were new by that is to be expected. The negative is that the greens fee of almost $240 is quite high.

i was a HUGE fan of Raptor Bay and expected this to stay up there with it but it blew it away completely. This is officially my favorite course in the area. I've never in my life looked a bunker and thought it was cool and this course feels like you're in England with how they designed them. Its absolutely, top to bottom, one of the coolest course I have ever played. cant wait to go back.
