Saltleaf Golf Preserve is a public, daily-fee golf facility in Bonita Springs, Florida, built on the site of the former Raptor Bay Golf Club. Four-time major champion Raymond Floyd reimagined the property, and it opened to the public in January 2024 under Troon management. The main course, The Preserve, is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring 7,075 yards from the back tees, with four sets of tees.
Its defining feature is the absence of formal bunkers: in their place are naturally exposed sandy areas that fit the native setting. The property sits next to a 144-acre Florida uplands preserve bordering Estero Bay, Florida's first aquatic preserve, and the course is planted with water-smart grasses including TifEagle and Bimini Bermuda. The signature second hole is a driveable par 4.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,469m (7,075 yards). The course was designed by Raymond Floyd. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Golf Shop, Short Course, Practice Facilities.
The site was originally home to Raptor Bay Golf Club, a resort-associated course near the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs.
Raymond Floyd's plan, announced in 2022, reimagined the course without bunkers, using natural sandy areas, water-smart grasses and a routing that sits alongside a 144-acre uplands preserve on Estero Bay. Four sets of tees and a driveable par-4 second hole are features of the layout.
The Raptor Bay course was redeveloped under the Saltleaf name and opened to the public in January 2024 as a Troon-managed daily-fee facility. The redevelopment also added The Leaf, a nine-hole par-3 short course.
Saltleaf Golf Preserve operates The Preserve (18 holes, par 72) and The Leaf (9-hole par-3 course) as a public daily-fee destination.
