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.

Great Place to Play

Saddlebrook Ranch provides a great option just north of Tucson. The positives include a great layout, great practice area, good post round options for food, and the greens are in great shape! The only negative is that the course did not overseed. The course itself is still in pretty good condition although there are some tough spots in the fairways and around the greens. Overall, it's still a lot of fun to play and we'll be back....

Fast and forgiving

Most of the fairways are wide and forgiving. Even the roughs are well groomed. The greens are fast. Very fast. But once you catch on to how far your ball will roll, you can play it to your advantage. Fun course to play.

Much improved

The course has greatly improved. A couple of years ago it was almost unplayable. It appears they have worked hard to get it back in its former condition.

Worth playing

Saddlebrook Ranch was in great condition and is always worth playing if it's not windy. Off season pricing is hard to beat

Ranch twilight

Greens were flawless! Beautiful day with sunset on 18th hole made it very memorable. Much better than a couple of years ago when last played this course. All amenities closed at 2:00 and nearby restaurant on site closed on Monday so low score for that. Great twilight bargain of however many holes you can get in .

Staff

Steve was at the pro shop. He was pretty short and rude when I called about club rentals. When we arrived, he questioned if we had one bag for each player. I told him we did and we needed to rent three bags. He told me he wanted to see the three bags we brought. I explained that they were still in the car. He said he still wanted to see them. I have never been harassed about seeing. How many bags we had. Regardless, I assured him we had a bag for each player. And he still insisted to see how many bags we had. This was ridiculous.

Much improved

I have played Saddlebrook Ranch many times. But this is the best condition the course has been in! Fairways and greens are green with good grass. The bunkers may be the best in the area. The greens are hard and don’t leave ball marks but they are smooth and roll true. Keep up the good work on the course!
