Preserve Golf Course

Played at 1pm on a hot day so Had the course to ourselves at a great price! Maybe I shouldn't say, but it wasn't bad as the course is not all down in valley with no air flow. Had great breezes that kept us comfortable and the course offers plenty of places for ice and water refills.

Some dry spots on course but ground screw taking care of that.

Amazing views and wildlife to enjoy along the way! Challenging holes to keep iur attention for many rounds to come

The course took 3" of rain the night before. Still, very nice experience. Beautiful layout. The setting is amazing.

This course is near absolutely nothing. However, it is a beautiful layout. You are surrounded by majestic mountains and hawks. The club house is a part of a country club.

The greens were in fine shape ( a little slow). The course itself requires that you place each shot. There are only ( perhaps) three holes that require you just let loose with a driver. It is worth the trip (at least once). I don't think I saw even one water cooler. There is one bathroom located at a key intersection--with an ice machine that didn't work.

In brief--the course is fine. I am sure I will be back. Play the course and then have a cold drink on the shaded deck that has cold mist.

A course you will remember and really enjoy

The course was fantastic with incredible views of the Catalina Mountains.

The only negative was the pro shop guy was extremely unfriendly. He acted annoyed that we were there to play a round of golf.

One of AZ best. Greens could have been faster but overall a great experience.

My wife and I have golfed on this course about a dozen times. Most of the time the pace of play is great. The views are spectacular. The course is one of the most challenging in Tucson and is always in great condition. The club house/country club is first rate.

I would like to recommend this course to friends but, none of them are single digit golfers. It is an extremely difficult course. No mistakes allowed. I shot an 83 and felt lucky to do so well. Narrow fairways, lots of washes, hilly and very slow greens. Course is in excellent shape except for the slow greens

Very challenging course, not for causal golf. Too many technical shots. Even a good hit is often penalized. Would be more enjoyable if played a few times, but slow play is ok here, therefore tough to get rythm going. Only flat hole is 18. Most landing areas and greens are not visible from tee; par threes required carries over ravines. Mentally grueling.

For a first time player it would not be a good experience. At least half the holes have ditches, or washes, that cross the fairways, and many of them are blind. A first-timer would have no idea what he/she is hitting into. Yardage information at each tee box would tell the golfers how much club to use. As for not recommending it to a friend, let me qualify that. If you're playing it for the first time, bring your old balls. That way it won't hurt so much when you get to a hidden hazard and can't find your ball.

First time on this track ... a map/guide would've be helpful ... the course is beautifully maintained and the scenery/views are captivating ... slopes, elevation changes, fairway bunkers and undulating greens with some aggressive pin placements made this course my favorite to date ... eerily quiet out there ... somewhat surprised they have gas carts ... the dining facility serves class and cuisine.

Virtually every hole is very interesting and offers some fun challenges. Many different ways to play a hole, with good risk/reward opportunities. Hidden waste/gully areas, big traps, fairways with lots of elevation changes and side slopes. Spend $2 and get a yardage booklet, because there are many hidden obstacles that can cause problems. If you don't hit it straight, bring lots of balls. I played the combo platinum/gold tees (about 6000 yds). Gorgeous views. My wife and I both really enjoyed this course and hope to return soon.

The Preserve at Saddlebrook is a challenging layout especially for first time. You need to know the shape of fairways and the location of ditches that cross many fairways. Nothing on card gives one a clue how to play. Found out when we arrived that restaurants/patio closed on Mon/Tues. Not good when hosting out of town guests as we were.

Probably would enjoy more second time.

if you enjoy a 5 hour round where the pro shop doesn't give a rat's butt about pace of play then this is the course for you. "we don't want to offend anyone by telling them to pick up their pace". the #1 problem in golf: pace of play. these guys don't care.

The course was in very good condition. A couple of hole are tricky you can't see the dangers off the tee box and there was no course map. Greens we in excellent condition, just a little slow.

Beautiful course and weather. Course was in good condition. Greens are surprisingly slow despite being firm and looking fast.

Improvements would be maps of hole layout on scorecard or t-box signage. Also - proshop and restaurant are closed by 3 pm at least on Monday. We were not told that carts had to be in by sunset so missed playing the last 2 holes despite remaining light.

Overall however, we would play here again and probably score better with more knowledge of the hole configuration.

Another nice day at the Preserve. Nice layout and good conditions except the slowish greens. Too bad the restaurant is closed on Mon & Tues as nice place to enjoy lunch before the round and enjoy the great views from the deck.

the course is in great shape except for a lot of water has been put on it and left the bunkers in so/so shape,not raked it looked like but had sand in them,but the greens are really good to putt on and kinda hard to read,must take into account the big mountain range "behind"the course and where tucson is located if you have not played the course before some blind areas that will come into play nice par 3s and the course sits at about 3400 feet so the ball will travel a bit further..it is fun to play,tokens used on the range so get more than one

to warm up

One of the best courses I have ever played.

One of my favorite courses in the area. Definitely would play again.
