Saddlebrook has long been synonymous with excellence in golf and racquet sports, and members can gain full access to the courts, courses and professional coaches that have shaped iconic athletes. Based on their tier of membership, members can play across 27 holes of championship golf, including two newly redesigned courses by world-renowned architect Rees Jones – the Oak and Pine Courses – offering interchangeable nine-hole layouts for a versatile experience. Golfers can hone their swing on the new 13-acre driving range and with expert instruction through the Saddlebrook Golf Academy, which has trained pros like Aline Krauter and Karl Vilips.
For tennis and racquet enthusiasts, Saddlebrook offers 41 tennis courts with all Grand Slam surfaces, and eight pickleball courts, along with private lessons, clinics and open play. Members can elevate their game at the legendary Harry Hopman Tennis Academy, which counts champions like Jim Courier, Pete Sampras, Martina Hingis, Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish, James Blake, and John Isner among its alumni. As the homebase of the Professional Tennis and Professional Pickleball Registries, Saddlebrook members can also access a hub of certified coaches to up their game on the courts.

Beyond the courts and fairways, Saddlebrook members can immerse themselves in a vibrant resort lifestyle that blends relaxation, connection, and culinary creativity. The resort’s transformation introduces new ways to unwind — from the 500,000-gallon Super Pool, framed by lush landscaping and private cabanas, to the members-only Serenity Pool (21+) and a state-of-the-art fitness center offering advanced equipment and group classes.
Members can gather and celebrate at each of Saddlebrook’s new culinary destinations. From refined coastal cuisine and bold cocktails at RARE 1981 to artisanal coffee and all-day bites at BREW, each concept reflects the resort’s signature warmth and sense of community. Poolside, Palmhaus brings a taste of tropical leisure with light fare and frozen cocktails, while the soon-to-open sports tavern will channel Saddlebrook’s competitive spirit into a lively social hub.
