Saddlebrook’s $92M Blueprint for Resort Transformation
An exciting new chapter is underway at Saddlebrook Resort, the iconic 480-acre destination in Wesley Chapel, Fla., known for world-class golf, tennis, leisure and group getaways. The sweeping $92 million transformation now in motion is reimagining the 451-room resort from the ground up – positioning it among the nation’s premier leisure and sports resorts.
The renovations – led by architecture and design firm EoA Group – touch nearly every facet of the guest experience, from the lobby, accommodations, and restaurants to the event spaces, outdoor areas, and multiple swimming pools. Golf course architect Rees Jones will undertake a redesign of Saddlebrook’s courses, an integral piece of the resort’s expansive sports offerings that already include a digital golf learning studio, indoor hitting bay, BalanceLab and SAM PuttLab for advanced golf play analysis, 43 tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a fitness center for cardio and strength training, a spa, plus a planned multi-court padel area, and more. Saddlebrook is also home to the famed Saddlebrook Golf Academy, Hopman Tennis Program, and Saddlebrook Prep, long time training grounds for international sports legends.
“This renovation represents more than just an investment in Saddlebrook—it’s a commitment to restoring and elevating a legacy destination that has long been recognized as a premier setting for group travel, athletic training, and leisure,” said Camilo Miguel Jr., Founder & CEO of Mast Capital, the real estate and investment firm that owns Saddlebrook Resort in partnership with Amzak Capital. “Our goal was to thoughtfully enhance the resort’s offerings, blending tradition with innovation to create a destination where golf, tennis and relaxation thrive.”
“Our partnership with Mast Capital is rooted in a shared commitment to preserving Saddlebrook’s unique heritage while reinvigorating its role as a dynamic destination,” said Michael Kazma, President of Amzak Capital Management. “This renovation reflects our long-term vision to modernize the property and enhance its value for guests, the local community, and the broader Wesley Chapel area.”
Guided by a vision that honors Saddlebrook’s more than 40-year legacy while embracing the future, the resort is evolving into a vibrant retreat for today’s travelers, athletes, and groups. Guests can experience this new iteration of Saddlebrook as early as summer 2025, with the golf course renovations debuting in fall 2025.
“Our renovation is enhancing the guest experience with a blend of modern comfort and rich history,” said Raj Mohan, Managing Director of Saddlebrook Resort. “From updated guest rooms and dining options to revamped event spaces and recreational areas, every detail has been designed for relaxation and enjoyment. Whether guests are looking to lounge by the pool, spend a day on the green or courts, or host a productive corporate retreat, we’re creating an inviting environment that offers something for everyone.”
