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.

Hard to get on since residents growing in number

On my round the pace of play was good. Course condition was good. It is getting harder to get tee times at this course because the number of residents can keep the course busy most of the time. The course layout is fairly open, and forgiving.

Decent layout, slow play , indifferent staff

We had a frost delay and didn't tee off until 1:15. No rangers , and the group in front of us fell far behind on the back nine (2 1/2 hours), they were residents and didn't seem to care that there were two other groups waiting for them on every hole (worse yet, they were only a threesome). Course is fairly easy, flat,but have the fastest greens we have ever played on. The course difficulty is all on the greens. Three putting appears common and 4 putting not rare. I would only go back for the price we paid $42/person.

Greens Like Putting on Marble

Nice layout. Fairways and greens dormant. Fairway grass cut too short. Easier to hit from rough. Greens fastest

I ever played. Very difficult to judge speed.

Painfully Slow pace of play

Needed the Marshall to stay on top of the group in front of ours. We had groups on our heels the entire round with an open hole in front of the group ahead of us and the Marshall wouldn’t move them along. Disappointing!

Challenges

Several tee boxes for all levels. I think the slope ratings are tougher than they say. Greens are a touch sandy, but that may have been from the rains we had the days before..I think the course is challenging and yet there is enough room on most holes for the higher hanicappers.

Super fast greens...great conditions!

Typically windy morning but overall conditions of this course are excellent! Greens are rolling really quick and nice and firm which is what they should be this time of year. Practice area is awesome... staff was fantastic.
