Saltleaf Golf PreserveEstero / Bonita Springs

Saltleaf Golf Preserve is the rebranded and redeveloped successor to Raptor Bay Golf Club - Raymond Floyd's original design on the Coconut Point corridor in Estero, now restored and relaunched under the Saltleaf identity. The 6,993-yard par-72 layout preserves the natural Florida landscaping and strategic challenge of the Floyd design while benefiting from the infrastructure refresh. One of the best public-access options in the Bonita Springs / Estero market.

Floyd designed the original Raptor Bay course in 2001 and returned to rebuild it in 2022, after which it reopened under the Saltleaf name with Troon managing it.

Raymond Floyd's original Raptor Bay layout from 2001, which he returned to rebuild in 2022 before the course reopened under the Saltleaf name. The rebuild put in water-efficient modern turf -- Tif-Eagle and Bimini Bermuda -- and kept Floyd's habit of offering a decision rather than a dictated line: the 2nd is a drivable par 4 and the course's signature. It is paired with a par-3 short course on the same site, which is unusual in southwest Florida.

Ranked sixth in Florida in 2023. Raymond Floyd rebuilt his own Raptor Bay course in 2022 and it reopened as Saltleaf, with a drivable par-4 2nd as its signature and a par-3 short course steps away -- a pairing nothing else in southwest Florida offers.
