Located in the North Tucson area, SaddleBrook Ranch Golf Club borders the Santa Catalina Mountains. The course meanders through the high Sonoran desert, incorporating natural washes into the design and providing stunning mountain views from almost every hole. Abundant desert flora and fauna further enhance the rugged, gently rolling terrain. The golf course offers a mix of challenging holes and player-friendly features, resulting in a layout with several interesting risk-reward opportunities that will appeal to low and high handicappers equally. The player-friendly fairways are generous, allowing beginners to feel comfortable with ample room off the tees and rewarding thoughtful play. There are also carefully placed mounds, hollows, and bunkers along the large, receptive greens that provide opportunities to recover an errant shot. The golf course is made even more versatile with five different sets of tees.

Greens make 3-putt the norm

It has been a few years since playing SBR. It may be a few more years again.

Though low on the rate, the attitude towards non-members was obvious at check in. First exposure to this for me from any course. Pace of play was good. Bunkers were great with actual sand, not desert dirt - there is a difference. I'm am an above average putter with <34 putts per round however the uneven-ness of the greens did not provide me a chance to even putt well. It was enjoyable to play this course again. Maybe I should see if The Preserve & Mountainview are just more of the same.

Skip It!

Though the Hot Deal rate was very reasonable and the greens putted very true I would not recommend teeing it up here. The fairways were cut so tight and "turf" so hard, it required perfect contact to hit a quality shot. Was better hitting out of the rough where there was at least grass under the ball. I was told by one of the guys in my group, it's because the roll out on low flying drives, fairway woods is significant which appeals to retired members. Regardless, it made hitting approach shots, chipping extremely difficult. Second, there was no refreshment cart on the course, no drinking fountain until #14 hole and the halfway refreshment stand was closed. (Was told it closes at 2pm). The fact the wind was blowing at 30mph didn't make things any easier, though that's not a fault of the golf course. Too bad, because the course layout is fun and the greens, although like cement putted very true.
