One of the most beautiful courses in Tucson

So many holes had picturesque settings with the Catalina Mts providing the perfect backdrops. The winter grass was in now, so the contract between the very green fairways and the light brown rough was pleasant to the eye. The deer grazing on a few holes added to the appeal of this setting. The course offer plenty of challenge, but seemed fair on almost every hole. Having a yardage book would have been a good idea because I hit a few shots into places I didn't think I could reach, and one of them was a hazard. The only improvement I'd like to see is more sand in some greenside bunkers... a few had very hard packed sand. I definitely recommend this course and would certainly play it again.

My day at the preserve

The Preserve is attempting to water their grass into
health, but it isn't working. Yet? My ball plugged everywhere on a desert course. And what was once a really beautiful great course is now building perhaps a thousand houses on the back nine. I suppose this was inevitable, but has really ruined what was once great.

A Gem, tough but fair.

This is a gen in North Tucson. There are four sets of tees, unbelievably beautiful surroundings, tough but fair greens and a good value late in the afternoon.

So much potential, but...

Second and last time playing this course, for the same reason. Pace of play is horrible, round took 5+ hours and the course Marshal did nothing to speed things up. I understand that it may take a bit longer for our Seniors to play a round, but then the course shouldn't cram so many golfers into the schedule. Was also quite surprised that no beverage car (both times this has been the case) and the last time the snack bar / restaurant closed !

Preserve is a must.

Course and facilty was in great shape. Making the turn at apprx 12:50 no personnel at the club snackbar/restaurant....
Made the turn hungry & thirsty.
Although signs say no outside food/beverage, we should have brought something.

Wow! Spectacular holes.

Good design with a lot of elevated tees with great views. Greens were very slow due to recent overseeding. Cart paths only slowed down the pace of play. I understand it was the last day this fall.
Wide fairways and large greens make it a very friendly course. Good choices of tee boxes with suggestions on back of scorecard based on length of drive. Good idea.
I will play there again during my vacation.

Great golfing experince

Beautiful views of the Catalina Mountains on a
very challenging course. Course was in excellent
shape. Most of the fairways are banked either right or left. Course knowledge extremely important in
scoring well on this cource.

Love this course!

The course was in excellent shape, except for the connection between hole 15 and 16. Construction made it almost impossible to cross over.
Because of reseeding, it was cart path only. Tough, hilly course to "walk" from cart to ball and back.
Can't wait to play in "normal" conditions. Can't beat the views !!!!!!!!

Great scenic desert golf course

If you like target golf in the desert you will love this one. Several well designed tricky holes that require course knowledge. Two holes are borderline between great design and tricked up. It will challenge you to keep coming back if you like to think your way around. Very scenic against the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. When it's hot in Tucson play at this higher altitude where it is 4 to 5 degrees cooler. This is a hidden jewel that is a great value. The only downside is the gray haired snow birds tend to be snobby like they own the course and do not let faster players play through. Owe well, they pretty much do own it and have paid their dues.

Tough

Interesting holes, enough bunkers to challenge you and greens that have deceptive breaks.
Is that enough for you? The course plays longer than you think so choose your tee box wisely.
Never saw a beverage cart. The restaurant is not open for breakfast so play a little later and sit on their wonderful patio.
My wife says that the course is lady friendly

Try it once

OK it's a gorgeous course, and a plain gorgeous place to have a course..that said I didn't like it much. It's just one of those courses that doesn't suit me.
Very nice range and practice facility, carts were clean and perky.
The layout just seems too clever for its own good...blind tee shots, blind doglegs..too many holes where you really need to drive 150 yards before you tee off to really see what is needed. I'd probably like it if I played it 20 times and knew it well.

Very challenging, but fair.

This course provides a real challenge for the average golfer, but is rewarding to those who put 3,4, or5 good shots together.

Excellent Course with Beautiful views!!!

This is one of my favorite courses within the Tucson area! The course was in excellent shape; great fairways, wide enough for the average golfer, excellent greens although I prefer them to be faster. The surrounding mountains are everywhere and so beautiful. The club house is gorgeous and the patio area was the perfect place for a vodka tonic after our round.

Best of the publicly accessible courses at Saddlebrooke

Preserve was in the best condition compared to Mountainview and Saddlebrooke Ranch. Greens were a little slow, but I'm guessing that's due to the length of the grass for the summer. Great value through Golfnow.
