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.

Course was in good condition. To be fair we were rained out on hole 14 as a squall with lightening came through.

Very nice course. Gorgeous views.

Wide fairways. Good pace of play. Staff was friendly. Weather gorgeous and views to match.

All restaurants were closed when we got done so that was a shame as we were starving.no food past 4 pm on Sundays.

We had nobody in front or behind us so pace of play this Sunday afternoon was good.

Wonderful course, strange cart rule

The course is very well maintained and a fun layout. If you’re a single, be prepared to ride with another single or player from the threesome you’re joining. They don’t give you your own cart.

Golf Course With No Character

I'm 60 years old and have played a bunch of different golf courses in my life, but this course is easily the most forgettable and characterless designed courses I've played. Most of the problem is that the course is located in the flat part of northern Tucson and there are virtually no trees on the course. Also, the land is flat and boring, so there just isn't much to look at while you play. On the positive side, the golf course is in good condition and the greens roll fairly well. Plz know that I don't enjoy being so critical here, but I would never choose to play here again.

Excellent Course

The only cons I have are that there were no ball washers on the course or cart as well as no coolers on the cart. Small potatoes for a nice course. Great round and experience overall!

85° day, no water on course, no beverage cart, 9-hole station was closed at 200 (our tee-time was 107) Ranger on #7 told us to call in food & beverage requests on #8 to be ready at the turn and it was closed apparently unbeknownst to the ranger, so absolutely nothing available to eat or drink WHICH THEY COULD HAVE TOLD US WHEN WE STARTED/CHECKED IN for $270+ fees

Great track.

Some of the best courses are in Tucson/Oro Valley. We live in the Southern part of the east valley and they are all within 1hr and 20 min. And get this they don't gouge you like Phoenix west. 90 bucks and worth every penny. Give it a go and don't forget to try Ed's dogs. Absolutely phenomenal.

Poor Course Management

While conditions were just ok, it’s pretty dry (fairways are a bit hard and many balls rolled off the back of the greens), the real issue was pace of play. It turned into a 5.25 hour round because the rangers/marshals don’t do anything to speed up slow players. There was one hole on the front nine where 4 groups were on the same hole. They need to better mange pace of play, it ruined our rhythm and it will be a long time before I go back.
