Saddlebrook Golf Resort

With a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, 45 tennis courts, basketball and grass/sand volleyball courts, Saddlebrook Resort is a sports enthusiast’s dream getaway. The rooms feature subtle tropical accents and offer private balconies or patios with scenic views of the courses or the resort.

Golf Courses

Having undergone renovations throughout 2025 and finishing in 2026, the golfing facilities at Saddlebrook are some of the best in Florida. The Arnold Palmer designed golf course onsite at Saddlebrook Resort, the Saddlebrook Golf Course, works its way through the natural landscape, incorporating areas full of cypress, pine and palm trees.

This 27-hole course is laid out in 3 sets of 9 holes, The Pine, The Oak and The Cypress.

Accommodation

Following expansive renovations completed in late 2025, Saddlebrook Resort features 540 rooms and suites, ranging in size from a deluxe guestroom that is 400 sq. ft. in size to two-bedroom suites that are 950 sq. ft. All rooms come with tropical décor, marble bathrooms, comfortable bedding, a large screen TV, coffeemaker, and private balcony or patio. The suites offer full kitchens and seating areas to provide some home-away-from-home comforts.

The buildings are laid out around nine courtyards with gardens and lush landscaping in the middle. Rooms offer scenic views of the golf course, pools, or nature preserve.
