Saddlebrook Palmer Open
The Palmer Course @ Saddlebrook Resort-Wesley Chapel, FL
18-hole stroke play championship
11/16/19
EVENT OVERVIEW
Don't be misled by the 6,273 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.
Your entry fee includes: greens fee, golf cart, range balls, trophy's, prize pool, closest to the pin competition, and a post round sandwich with beverage.
