Saltleaf Golf Preserve (formerly known as Raptor Bay Golf Club) plays home to a well-rated tree-lined and open parkland layout located on the edge of the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve, about a 30-minute drive south of Fort Myers. The onsite Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa provides a full range of resort accommodations and activities at this Florida Stay&Play venue.
Hallmarks of this absorbing Raymond Floyd design include naturally exposed sandy waste areas, no formal bunkers, minimally altered terrain, abundant lakes, and rolling terrain.

Saltleaf Golf Preserve (formerly Raptor Bay GC) was laid out by Raymond "Ray" Floyd, who enjoyed a highly successful professional golf career. With over 65 wins worldwide, he is a four-time major championship winner, who just missed out on securing a "career slam" of all four majors. Chasing the Open Championship title on the Old Course, St Andrews in 1978, he tied for second-place with Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw and Simon Owen, two shots behind the winner Jack Nicklaus.
The golf course and facilities at Saltleaf Preserve are operated by Troon Golf, one of the world's leading upscale golf course management and development companies.
