Golf Renovations in Full Swing

Exciting changes are on the horizon for golf at Saddlebrook Resort. This spring, we began the next phase of our extensive golf course renovations—now in full swing. These enhancements include a state-of-the-art irrigation system designed to optimize course conditions, a complete reconstruction of all greens using the USGA method to enhance playability and character, revitalized fairway bunkers with improved drainage and fresh sand, and rebuilt, laser-leveled tee surfaces for a pristine playing experience.

These improvements build upon our first major milestone in the resort’s comprehensive revitalization plan—the unveiling of our brand-new 13-acre driving range, a state-of-the-art practice facility designed by renowned golf course architect Rees Jones in collaboration with associate Bryce Swanson. Featuring a double-sided range, two TifEagle™ bermudagrass putting greens, and three short game areas with greenside bunkers, this premier facility is designed to elevate the golf experience for players of all levels.

These renovations mark the beginning of Jones' transformative work at Saddlebrook, which will continue with the reconfiguration of the resort’s two existing 18-hole courses into three interchangeable nine-hole courses.

Please see our 2025 Course Closure and Renovation Schedule for more updates on course availability.

We can't wait to welcome you to the re-imagined Saddlebrook Resort!
