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.

Nice Course conditions but come prepared
Course conditions were very good.
Fairways in very good condition.
Greens were in excellent shape.
Course layout is playable yet challenging.
Hole layouts 10, 11, and 12 leave a lot to be desired.
Only one bathroom facility on the course.
There was no water on the course, no cooler on the carts, and no ball washers. So come prepared.
Saddlebrook Ranch Golf Course
I enjoy golfing here. The staff is good and disciplined in the content of golf protocol. Since I do not live on campus I book my tee times thru GolfNow. Their posting of hot deals are very limited and I can’t seem to find the steady trend of their hot deal postings. Thank you.
Fun Course
Good golf course with plenty off the tee. The greens must be fairly new because they were the firmest greens I have EVER seen. Greens surrounds were soft and damp which made landing it short to run on a very tricky situation.
Great course, open fairways and short
This course is friendly and the greens were in great shape!
Friends love the course
Brought friends here for first time. They didn’t know there was a golf course up here. They loved it.
Took a friend.
Friend loved the course. Didn’t know it was about the ranch. Food at the turn was excellent and well priced. Played 18 in 3 hours. Teed off at 12:22.
Great value for the drive
This course is in excellent condition for the value. It is a nice layout, and the greens are playing firm and fast in the summertime heat. There are some spots with ground under repair around the greens, but I wouldn't recommending hitting it into those spots, much nicer to just land on th green.
Greens were interesting
The course was indecent shape for this time of year. The greens were re-constructed I believe last year. They run true, but they will not hold a pitch shot.

This is a great course for seniors and higher handicap players..The back nine is much more difficult than the front. They need to put more water on the course and get the sand traps raked. The sand is very good but, it is getting crusty. Overall, it is a good course with a good staff and good prices..
Cheap
I reserved on golf now for 2 people,supposed to include a cart, when I got there 2 singles were allowed to join us and they arrived before me, I reserved first, they wouldn’t give me a cart for my friend and I, said we had to share rides with 2 singles, I reserved 2 to play with my brother in law, don’t think I’ll play here again, real snotty attendants
Nice overall, worth a visit
Staff “businesslike” but efficient.
Teed off on time, played in 4 hours.
Conditions very good, fairways green, bunkers well maintained and fluffy. Greens pool table firm but are smooth, true, and reasonably quick. No ball marks here, and you have to adjust your approaches accordingly. Some my not like this situation but they putt so beautifully you may come to approve of this situation.
Only complaint is no drink cart (ever) and snack shack meant to replace said cart at the turn, always seems closed (1:00pm?). Post round may be satisfied at restaurant 100 yards away (high-end) but also with quirky hours.
I like the layout which is challenging enough with out being brutal, and great conditions allow for scoring, if you play it right. Green fees within reason as well.
New greens need attention
Greens were fast (OK by me) but VERY firm. Combine this with variable soft fringes and it's next to impossible to hit an approach shot close to the hole. You either plug in a fringe or bounce wildly over the green.
Generally good, very windy
Extremely windy which affected the ball even on the greens. The clubhouse was closed because of an issue with the ceiling.
Nice Surprise
I did not expect to find Saddlebrooke Ranch to be in the best condition of all the Saddlebrooke courses. The greens were terrific! On the fast side but beautifully true! The pace of play backs up a bit on the back nine because of several consecutive holes with washes, so golfers whose shot placement was off can spend too much time looking for their lost ball but the quality of the course makes up for any delay.
