Saddlebrook Resort – Oaks Nine

Oak Course represents the first major step in Saddlebrook Resort’s modern golf transformation, reimagined under the direction of renowned architect Rees Jones and associate Bryce Swanson. Built from the framework of the resort’s historic Arnold Palmer-designed layouts, the course blends classic Florida resort golf with contemporary shaping, upgraded bunkering, and refined green complexes. Rolling fairways weave through mature oak trees, cypress wetlands, and palm-lined corridors, creating a visually striking yet playable championship experience. The redesign emphasizes strategic shot-making, improved conditioning, and multiple playing angles that appeal to both resort golfers and competitive players. As part of Saddlebrook Resort’s evolving golf program, Oak Course can be combined with Pine and Cypress to create interchangeable 18-hole experiences, adding flexibility and variety for returning guests. Beyond golf, Saddlebrook offers luxury accommodations, spa facilities, tennis academies, dining venues, and extensive practice facilities in a tranquil Florida setting near Tampa Bay. Oak Course reflects the resort’s effort to modernize its golf identity while preserving the natural beauty and sporting heritage that made Saddlebrook famous for decades.
