Saddlebrook at Saddlebrook Golf & Tennis Resort

Worst experience I’ve ever had booking a round on Golf Now. No notice when booking that the course is going through renovations. Several holes had temporary tee boxes. Club carts would shut down to a crawl when transitioning to temporary holes giving notifications to return to the cart path. Voiced my displeasure with the Asst Pro on duty, who repeatedly told me that they are asking for patience and understanding while the course is being renovated. He just didn’t seem to “get it” that I’d never had booked there in the first place had I known the course was under renovation. Waste of time and money. Drove an hour from where I was staying in Ruskin specifically to play the course only to be very disappointed.

I live a couple miles away from this place so just play here out of convenience. For some reason they have a starter most of the time on the Palmer course but have never seen one on the Saddlebrook course. They’re just letting groups of any size go off. I finish hole 4 and drive past 1st tee while driving to hole 5 and a group of 6 are teeing off in 4 carts. Next hole I catch up to a five-some in 3 carts. Im parked behind them on 3 consecutive tee boxes and they don’t let me play through. I eventually just skip a 8 and go straight to 9. I also try calling the pro shop twice to see if there’s a ranger or why they’re letting groups of 5-6 go off and it’ll basically ring forever, no one answering. For the prices they charge it’s not enjoyable. I’d just save your money and go somewhere else.

Good pace, greens well maintained, and felt like only ones on the course.

Need Some more communication for us first timers there. Couldn't fund 1...lol...Driving around the pool was fun though. Had a blast. Fun course. Greens could be rolled.

An absolute gem! Phenomenal layout and incredible greens. Truly a slice of heaven! Am coming back again to play the Palmer TODAY (March 5th 2024). Almost too good to be true type of place. My brother from Massachusetts said the same thing!

The course is good could be a little bit better for the money you pay and for them having a true golf school. Definitely will go back and play again.

Course is in good shape. The numerous sand traps are well maintained. The greens are fair with reasonable speed. Course was busy on a Friday afternoon and we played in 4 hours.

played the saddlebrook course nice layout course in pretty good shape the greens are just ok wouldn't have minded paying the price if the greens were better at $75.00

The course was in excellent shape for this time of year. Greens were full but a little long. Fairways were in good condition also. It was as pleasure to play.

Greens were always good when I played previously. They ran about 7 stimp. Were inconsistent and brutal to put on. Fortunately got it on a hot deal so I don’t feel completely bad about it. Played the Palmer course last week and it was 100% better!

The day was very wet but the course was mostly playable. Cart path only. Fairways and greens good shape. Valet only is a little inconvenient.
