Good course, good value

It’s in good shape from tee to green and the pace of play was great on a weekday afternoon. A fun course to play and will go there again.

A good comeback!

I played Saddlebrook when it first opened years ago. It served as a great course for my two sons as they began to play when they were 9-12 years old. However, over the years, the course became mismanaged or under kept probably due to budget constraints.
I played it for the first time in 20+ years on 9-25-24.
I was pleasantly surprised that the greens & fairways were excellent in spite of the recent draught.
I was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff too!
It was an enjoyable round of golf on a beautiful day before Helene rolled in town.

Hot Deals and Happy Hour

The course is in desperate need of water on the Tee Boxes. The pin placement was like Sunday at the Masters and the Tee Boxes were horrible. I play this course almost every Monday for $25 and that is a good deal or Hot Deal on GolfNow but would never pay the normal fee way to high. I will continue to utilize the deals for the remainder of the season.

Nice value course!

I remember when this course first opened. Very nice back then. Unfortunately, this course fell into extreme decline. Guessing there is maybe 1 guy, part-time, at best attending to the course itself. Tee boxes were horrific. Greens not too bad especially in comparison to The Fort that I played a week ago.

Guessing this place is hurting revenue-wise as the most basic upkeep could revitalize this course back into what it once was. Rooting for this course to inject $$$ to just get the greenskeeper some much needed help/assistance to do the most mundane tasks in cleaning up the course.

“Sand” bunkers? No need to rake them as they are as hard as asphalt with a light dusting of sand granules on the surface. :(

Won’t go back

I will never play this course again. The pace of play was terrible. There would be 4 carts regularly ahead of us at each hole.

After 10 holes, I went to the pro shop asking for a rain check to come back to play when it’s not as busy. The shop denied my request.

As such, I will never play this course again

Amazing Value

Played here while visiting Indianapolis and it was great. The greens and fairways are in great shape, though the sand in the bunkers was very hard. Golf carts are also super slow and I wish they had spread out the par 3’s a bit more as they are heavy on the first nine. Other than that it was perfect to me. Overall it’s a beautiful property and an amazing deal for only $36.

Rock hard

The course is not bad, but it is not very well maintained. I couldn’t get a tee into the driving range because it was so hard. The same thing happened at several of the tee boxes. The fairways were OK. The course was challenging but fair. The price was really good, so I can’t complain overall.
