SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club
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.

Satisfied Player
Good experience overall. Foursome behind us was annoying though. We had to wait for foursome in front of us but a most of the course. The pace was good though, so didn’t know what their problem was!

Nice course, quite isolated
This is a nice course, pretty and a nice layout. We happened to get it on a gorgeous day, sunny and very pleasant. The fairways are very tight and the greens were VERY hard to read. We had a heck of a time trying to figure the breaks.
The resort has FANTASTIC amenities and the food in the grille was excellent. Would definitely want to play it again.
Very nice course well maintained. Would be better if the hot dog house at the turn would stay open a little later.
Flat course
Flat course, nice greens. Two dumb holes though…10 and 12. Two washes on these holes which slows down play.
If you like a wide-open fairways, or you can hit it anywhere in relatively flat greens and slow play that’s the place to go
Cart return time not mentioned prior
Course was in very good shape. Weather ideal. On check in staff was very friendly and professional. Was told cart number I was joining and met round-mate.
On hole 5 traveling ranger came by and informed us that we needed to have our carts back in by 6:45. Official sunset was 6:53. This was the first time we had heard about a return time for carts. Not on check-in or in round description
I understand this but at least let us know before hand! One in our group had heard a PA announcement for a tee-time call for a 6-some, about 5 groups in front of us. Please don’t put a 6-some in front of us and expect us to finish the round fast. We had to skip hole 18 to get the cart back in time with plenty of daylight available to have played it if allowed.
Communicate this limitation better. Preferably in notes for tee-time signup.
Thank you.
Beat the heat
Worth getting up early for with temps headed into the 90s. The course is in very good condition. New greens are firm, but not necessarily fast. Tight lies around greens and off fairways. Good POP and well-stocked pro shop.
Overall was awesome and perfect weather! Greens were little too firm otherwise 👍🏼
Looks forward to booking again soon!
Thx...
Keep the food shack open
Course was fair, grass was very short for hard tight lies but great roll 😂 Biggest complaint was we transitioned from front to back slightly after 2 and the only food and beverage option was already closed. Not sure what they expect folks to do except to bring their own food and beverage!!
Never coming back
I was a single and met my playing partners on the first tee five minutes later. one in one cart and two in another cart. they told me that they play there frequently but had bad experiences with the staff. I didn't think much of it until the fifth hole when a marshall beat the point to death that we were not supposed to have three carts. The others said that I was already on the first tee when they checked in which was true. When the marshall was finally finished he ended with telling us that we could only have two carts on the fairway. We got the same lecture several holes later from a different marshal and he said "carts have to be in by 6:30... don't make me come get you" He also said that we were "getting a break (about the three cart situation) because I am the nice one" meaning nice marshal of the group. I think he is implying that the rest are a little tough. i thought he was even worse. I really wish I had his name. I work as a caddie and have been playing over 50 years. I play 100 rounds a year.
This is only the second time I have ever written a review. I really hope the manager reads this. I have never been treated like this. It was so bad that it made me wonder if they knew my playing partners since they mentioned that they had issues prior to this day. I try very hard to write this review objectively. The first six holes were extremely uninteresting and got significantly better from there. Despite other aspects of the round being fine I have to give it the lowest rating based on the "staff friendliness" one of the five worst experiences in thousands of rounds
