About this course

The Palmer Course is one of two 18-hole golf courses at Saddlebrook Resort in Wesley Chapel, Florida. It was designed by Arnold Palmer and sits centrally on the resort property, near the main clubhouse.

The course is hilly for the region, with firm, contoured fairways that resemble a rolling New England layout, small elevated greens guarded by bunkers and ponds, and Bermuda rough around the greens. It plays to a par of 71 across 18 holes, measuring 6,641 yards from the back tees.

The Palmer Course is part of the resort's golf operation, available to resort guests and members, with tee times booked through the golf shop alongside the resort's second course, the Saddlebrook Course.

Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club

Dade City, FL · 9.5 mi away

Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club in Dade City features two 18-hole courses, North and South, built on unusually hilly terrain for central Florida, about 30 minutes north of Tampa. The layouts are part of a private, master-planned residential community anchored by a large clubhouse overlooking finishing holes on both courses. The elevation changes and rolling fairways distinguish the property from the flatter courses typical of the region. Golf here has drawn attention for its terrain rather than coastal or resort styling common elsewhere in Florida.
