I fear change and thus was apprehensive about Raptor Bay being renovated. Firstly this is for the most part an entirely different course. The holes previously used by Raptor play differently currently. For instance old number one is now three, still a par 5 however you play it backwards, from old green to old tee. The vast majority of Saltleaf is comprised of brand new, previously undeveloped, land. The course is beautiful, challenging, but fair. I appreciate and enjoyed the aesthetic of the grass berms utilized throughout the remodel. The only criticism i have pertains to the practice facilities. It is a netted hitting area and practice putting green. I was unable to garner much feedback from my swing in such a confined space. The old practice facilities at Raptor were far superior…alas it appears that area will become a tower. Overall the course is excellent, and stands out in an area replete with mundane courses. I recommend. Hopefully the practice facilities will be upgraded to match the quality of the course, particularly for the price.

Impeccable course conditions, brisk pace of play, and a friendly staff made for a flawless experience. Thank you Naples Lakes members and staff for allowing limited public play.

All around perfect day on the course. Conditions were impeccable, pace of play was brisk, and the staff was polite and professional. Couldn’t ask for a better experience...thank you Naples Lakes members for sharing the experience of this Arnold Palmer design course, and thank you to the staff for maintaining the course so well.

Back nine is quite tight, and will attempt to bait you into making poor decisions. Always in excellent shape and professionally administered.

solid play for <$50. quickly being developed with homes.

played over seventy courses in Collier county, this course is solidly in my top ten.

one of my favorites in collier county. always an enjoyable experience.

gorgeous course. i enjoyed it even more than jack's talon course at twin eagles, although found scoring more difficult here. greens rolled consistent and fast.

course was in great condition. greens rolled fast and true. pace of play was slow, however i expected it to be busy as it was an unbelievably gorgeous day.

wide open fairways with plenty of room to miss. nice resort style course. would compare the difficulty, in the naples area, to either panther run or lely mustang. there are no facilities/amenities yet as the entire community is under construction.

good value relative to what i am accustomed to in naples, fl. not quite as difficult as i expected, however enjoyable non-the less.

challenging yet enjoyable trek through neighborhoods of lely resort. best public course in south naples/marco island area.
