Palmer Course

Like the Saddlebrook Course, the Palmer Course is centrally located, with the first tee box right next to the  heart of the resort. Don’t be misled by the 6,641 yardage on this wide open, undulating, par 71 Arnold Palmer golf course. While many of the holes provide generous driving areas, the course is hilly and the firm green fairways are contoured to resemble a rolling New England course. Facing the green from the slanting fairways, the small elevated emerald islands are framed by white-faced bunkers, azure ponds and gently swaying palm trees. The Tif-eagle greens are firm, fast and undulating, allowing only a crisply struck shot to hold their surface. Several holes require length; all reward finesse.

Par 71 | 6,243 Yards

Don’t be misled by the 6,641 yardage on this par 71 Arnold Palmer golf course. While many of the holes provide generous driving areas, level ground is rare and the firm green fairways are contoured to resemble a rolling New England course. Facing the green from the slanting fairways, the small elevated emerald islands are framed by white-faced bunkers, azure ponds and gently swaying palm trees. Hilly lies and sweeping Florida breezes make it challenging to attain the accuracy needed to find these targets. The Tif-eagle greens are firm, fast and undulating, allowing only a crisply struck shot to hold their surface. Surrounding the greens, the thick, gnarly Bermuda rough tangles around the club and complicates the soft touch needed to play short pitch shots. Miss the green, and you face a difficult par. Several holes require length; all reward finesse.

TESTIMONIALS

“First time playing the Saddlebrook Palmer Course. Course conditions were very good. Pace on the day I played was excellent. Course layout is suitable for the average golfer, though the greens are consistently guarded (bunkers, etc.) and quite undulating. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would look forward to playing the course again.” Previous Next

TESTIMONIALS

“Fun, Old World resort golf. I really like the Palmer course because it’s the closest course to Tampa with rolling hills. I’m a big fan of resort golf and Saddlebrook has all the amenities to provide a country club-style round without being an exclusive member. The pool bar is a nice place to relax before calling it a day.” Previous Next

TESTIMONIALS

“Traveled 50 miles from the Orlando area to play the Palmer Course and was not disappointed. This is a really nice layout with some lovely holes with just enough water to play to keep players on their toes. Course was in great shape, including the greens, which were sloped, true and fast enough. Highly recommend.” Previous Next
