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 Course, Rough Staff/Members

As far as the course goes, I have nothing bad to say about it. The course is well maintained and has a nice layout with pretty views. Pretty straightforward design that lends itself to a variety of skill levels.

However, the staff and people that were playing this course were hands down the most unpleasant people I have encountered on a golf course. Very old school golf club stuck up vibe. Woman in the pro shop seemed upset before we got in and had no problem taking it out on us. Our group shook it off and went over to the range. At the range a fellow golfer took issue with us teeing up and hitting driver. Maybe unspoken rule about that, but no signs stating “irons only.” Guy made it very clear that this is “his club.”

Overall, if you can shake off some glares and snide remarks, would 100% recommend the course for the quality, but fair warning you won’t be making any friends here.

Surprise!

Nothing wrong with the course, but because of an overnight thunderstorm the entire round was cart path only. I only found out about this after I arrived at 1:00 pm. Because of recent surgery I am presently slightly disabled and have a handicap flag on my golf cart at my home course. Having to walk EVERYWHERE made the round somewhat unpleasant and difficult. Maybe there should be an email from either the course or Golfnow the morning of the round when there are unforeseen condition changes?

Great course, great value, don’t stop at the turn

Really great course regardless of the price but that is great too. Driving range a little less than expected but the 18 hole putting green makes up for that. Only negative experience in 2 rounds is the hot dog stand at the turn, 35 minutes for my requested “what ever is fast”! Retirement community, no one seems to be in a hurry at that hot dog stand, but course marshal kept the pace of play up.

Being compromised with my health I was forced to use a card with someone I didn't know. I could not get a cart of my own. As a result I took a big chance playing golf with someone who might have had the virus. I just don't understand why I could not use my own car on the course given the circumstances with the covert virus being as it is. I shall not play this course again until I can use the card on my own without playing with a stranger. I played dozens of times at this course and loved it, but not anymore.

Nice Course Rude Staff

Round didn’t start off well with a very rude staff and poor customer service. The greens were in good shape but the fairways were in mediocre shape with some areas being extremely dry and some way too wet and muddy. Pace of play was horrible as we waited on every hole for 2 groups in front of us. There are no water stations set up anywhere in the course which is disappointing given the summer heat. This was our 2nd time playing this course with staff being rude both times. Last time we felt that since the course was in great condition we would overlook the poor treatment and maybe it was a one time incident, but after this last visit we won’t be returning.

Fun round

Had a fun round playing in less than four hours! Several of the fairways had recently been aerated and some of the areas along the fairways were in the same condition. The course is getting ready for the cooler fall weather by performing required summertime tasks.
