About
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.

Love this course - grounds crew does a great job. Slow play sometimes.
Be nice to put the ball washers back at tee boxes.
Another perfect Sunday!
3 and 1/2 Hour round on a Sunday morning! Course is in fantastic shape...as always!
Forgiving Course and Friendly Staff
Saddlebrooke Ranch is in the center of a very active community. Besides the golf course, there are many other activities that the residents enjoy such as: bocci, pickleball, tennis, and other community events and activities. Go for a good round of golf and see for yourself.
Ball Rolls Forever!
First time playing this course. Staff was very friendly. Practice/warm-up facilities are excellent. Course was in great shape. Greens were very fast, but not difficult to read. Course has wide open fairways and the ball rolls forever. Layout isn't bad, but not a lot of interesting features. Pretty flat. I was told by a regular that course conditions tend to be windy, which is what we experienced. I would play it again.
Great golf. Hole in one!
We signed up and joined a member's tee time for the day. Conditions were a little wet, but they had just opened after being closed 2 days from rains. The closure allowed the course to dry out in perfect shape without all the cart tracks and damage. There was virtually no wind but you could tell on windy days the course would play much harder. Greens were ~3 years old, very firm on the front 9 but still receptive and in great shape. They had a grain to them, not typical in the Tucson area, so reading greens was more complex. The experience got even better on #12 watching a great tee shot disappear into the cup. Finding the clubhouse after 18 is a distance and wasn't marked well, so we took the roads back. All in all a memorable golf day.

other player hat on backwards, shirt hanging out and little understanding of standard golf
procedures.
Staff
I've played all over the country, but when coming to the Ranch I need to check myself and make an effort to change my expectations until I'm on the course and away from the first tee.
Have never been to a course where the 'rules' are so unkindly forced down your throat in such a brutal unkind and unwelcoming way. From the pro shop to the cart person to the rules for approaching the first tee nothing welcoming takes place. Totally different experience from almost all courses we play.
It's like the atitude is you are lucky we even allow to play here. Sad.
On the course yesterday we had a totally unique and dangerous experience with a member of the grounds crew.
We had just gotten out of our carts to approach the tee box when your staff came by on his mower cutting the rough alongside the cart path where we were standing. He continued past us within 18 inches throwing stones and grass at our legs! NO EXAGGERATING! Unbelievable.Love the course with the forward tees for the ladies but how much aggravation is that really worth!
Chilly start...fantastic Sunday!
Course is in fantastic shape ...greens running quick and.pure. 3 and 1/2 hour pace of play on a Sunday morning. Awesome!
Good scenery and views.
Course was in good shape. the pace of play was acceptable. Friendly staff. Only negative was the snack-bar hours. Only opened for 4 hours. Would play again.
very good
