Keep a Close Eye on your Belongings

Overview: Green fee cost was good. The valet staff and the guys in the clubhouse were friendly. The course was in decent shape--75% of the holes were in really good shape. But it's critical that you keep an eye on your belongings.

Pros: Great rate for a decent, albeit dated resort course (look at all of the facilities and you'll suddenly feel like your back in the late 1970s).

Cons: The drink cart that they said would be on the course never once came by us.... Getting a ride from a valet to the clubhouse is a delay (and a tip expense) you should plan for... Getting a hold of anyone at this resort through their phone system is really a pain and they don't return phone messages.

Really Big Con: My laser rangefinder was magnetically attached to the golf cart. It was there when we finished our round (we used it on the last hole). I ran inside the clubhouse as we finished our round and when I came out someone else had taken my clubs off of the cart and loaded them onto the valet cart for the ride to our car. Unfortunately, they didn't grab my rangefinder and I didn't notice. When I noticed it was missing the next day, it took forever to get through to someone who made an attempt to go look for my rangefinder. He didn't find it and transferred me to security so I could file a lost and found report. What bothers me is there's no way anyone but an employee of Saddlebrook could've "found" the rangefinder. The cart was in their hands from the moment we got back to the clubhouse until we left and there weren't any other people around. So I'm out an additional $250 thanks to no one being able to "find" it. I'm sure I'll see it on EBay if I keep an eye out there, though...

Good Round

Course is in decent shape. It was a fun round. Staff was friendly. Having said that, I could’ve lived without the starter wanting to talk politics. Needs to leave his red hat at home. I’m not at the golf course on a Saturday so I can hear about his thoughts on the world.

Nice Executive Course

Nice course. Good layout for an executive course. Back nine was kinda tough on a few holes when the wind started gusting. Staff was very friendly.

Nice course...still a little wet...

Course as ravaged by rain a few weeks ago. It’s still got quite a few spots that need to dry up. It’s still a great course, though. Highly recommend it.

Not the best condition...

The course is in bad shape. I'd blame the rain because most of the course was soaking wet, but the greens were very spotty and coarse. Not sure you can blame the rain for that... $32 was too much for this condition...I'm glad I didn't pay $40 or I'd really feel ripped off.

Rough Day to play a nice course

The wind was awful and it made any hole into the wind a big challenge. But it's a nice course and the staff was mostly very friendly and accommodating. The pace was really slow, but one marshal met us on the 5th hole and basically warned us of the pace and we really appreciated him taking the time to do that. Also...thanks to the guy in the pro shop who came out to run the snack bar when the lady in there was overwhelmed with orders. He definitely saved the day.

Great course, friendly staff

Brought my 2 adult sons to Celebration for an 0830 tee time. Played the silver tees because both of them are higher handicapper's. We had a great time. The course (especially the greens) was in great shape and the pace of play was good. The staff was friendly and was handing out coupons for merchandise and future rounds of golf. Definitely got the feeling they were happy to have us and wanted us back. The only negative was the lack of drinking water on the course. Thank goodness a guy came around in a golf cart with a giant thermos of water, because it was HOT.

It's what I expected...

Really nice layout. It's too bad the course has been in terrible shape every time I've played it. Staff was great and the price was really good, so I can't complain too much. Had to play 4 par 3's on the front nine due to repair activities, by the way...

The greens were just overseeded when you played, we were not mowing them to let them get established. You will find them much nicer now on 01/05/16. Hope to see you soon.

Too much rain...

Let this course dry out before you play it.
1. Two or three holes were almost unplayable because of the muddy fairways.
2. Cart path only in the moist Florida heat is exhausting.

Definitely not a "country club"... This place is a muni... Staff was very friendly and the course wasn't in terrible shape...but it could've been lots better.

Exactly what I expected...

It's a course with a municipal feel to it. Bare bones pro shop and bare bones snack bar, but it was perfect for me and my college age sons who don't play much golf. If they fix a few of the greens, I'd say the course was pretty challenging. Overall a fun round of golf.
