Disappointed

The condition of the course was terrible, it's really gone down hill and you shouldn't be paying $51 for a course in this condition. The Tee boxes look like someone took an ice cream scoop to them . Patrons don't respect he course, by not replacing fairway divots. The greens are in bad shape and the patrons don't repair ball divots. What a shame it used to a nice golf course. I never play there again.

Horribleness Abounds Everywhere

Burned out and weedy fairways. Tee boxes are a broken down mess. Greens..ugh. Burned out dead spots and TONS of unrepaired divots. And the goose poop!! I get you’ll have it in fairways at times. But the tee boxes and greens are loaded. And it’s not all fresh! Does anyone clean up? Does anyone repair the divots? Does anyone at this course give a rats rear? Short answer…NO.
This really could be a nice course but it’ll take 1-2 years of real effort to get this course back on track. $45 for 9 holes at this course was a huge ripoff.
This course looks like the Sigma Chi house from Animal House! Not only is it in extreme disrepair but the people who play it, abuse it. And clearly not a thing is done about it.
Thoroughly disappointed. Until someone cares about Saddlebrook, spend less of your money somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Short and Satisfying

Decent course and a great value. Several short par 4’s. A couple danger spots with uneven pavement on the cart path.

Why I'll never play saddlebrook again

Saddlebrook first off has no guidelines for their cart usage. I paid for a cart, and in 16 years old. every other course lets a 16 year old drive. not saddlebrook. it has 18 year old limit. it did not say anything about this, this would have surely affected my decision. there was also geese everywhere. all on the course everywhere. goose poop everywhere. horrible conditions. finally the driving range was not open for an inexplicable reason. the pace of play was also very slow. will never play again.
