Saltleaf Golf Preserve - The Preserve

Raptor Bay reborn as a bunkerless, flat, upscale daily-fee course by Estero Bay. Easy-going and pricey in season; good for mixed-ability groups, less so for players who want a stern test or a proper range.

Before you book

Access	Daily-fee public course; book on the club's TeeItUp pages (also sold on GolfNow). Troon-managed (per stays research). Built on the site of Raptor Bay Golf Club, long the golf course of the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point; the current Saltleaf site does not mention any Hyatt guest arrangement, so do not count on resort rates.

Designer	Raymond Floyd (original 2001 Raptor Bay and 2022-23 rebuild; GolfLink also credits Harry Bowers)
Opened	2001
Style	Flat, bunkerless coastal-preserve layout by Estero Bay: elevated greens, native rough and wetlands, sod-wall waste areas instead of sand. Friendly upscale resort-style golf.
Carts	Cart golf (resort-style; not confirmed whether walking is allowed on the 18).
Practice	Large multi-station warm-up net (the old range was removed), putting green; the 9-hole Leaf par-3 next door.

Local knowledge

Still called Raptor Bay on many listings and maps; the course is now Saltleaf and the routing changed (holes 11-17 are new).
No sand bunkers at all: the defence is elevated greens, native areas and wind off Estero Bay.
There is no full range, only warm-up nets: arrive expecting to hit into a net.
Add the walking-only Leaf par-3 nine after the round (GolfPass cited $30 for players already on the 18).
