Awesome course!
Immaculate new layout! Was challenging, yet playable. Love the sod walls!! Pace was great, 4some played in under 3:50!!!
Absolutely AMAZING
I think this might be my favorite course in SWFL! The course is in amazing shape, the greens are pretty accurate, the fairways are perfect and they built the course to crisscross around the drinks and food so you can always grab something every few holes
Get Course SWFL
This was the first time I've played this course. I loved raptor bay but this new course is absolutely amazing.
Elite Course
Can’t say enough good things about this course. The conditions and greens were perfect. Staff was fantastic and the pace of play was great. Worth every penny.
Would recommend
Course was in great shape love the new layout from raptor bay. Would recommend. You also get a hat and cup with your round.
Nice Redo
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.
The Raptor Preserve
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.
Good but not outstanding
Very nice course but felt like it was underwhelming for the price I paid. Outstanding conditions but just felt cookie cutter.
Great course, better people
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.
Solid Track
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.
Nice course but….
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.
