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.

Course conditions
The course layout is so nice, but the fairways should have better grass ,should be over seeded, chipping around the greens would have better lies if you had some grass. Bunkers are like concrete. I’m not a member but if I was I would be disappointed.
Poorly manicured
This course use to be one of my favorite courses to play. But in the last few years has gone down hill to me. The fairways , ruff and around the greens are scalped. Seems like you are always hitting off of hard pan and very tight lie"s. Greens are fast, which is not a bad thing, but are hard and not very receptive. A lot of times, you don"t even leave a divot. It seems every time I've gone to play or just use their driving range for practice, they have you hitting off of mats. My opinion is that the management of the course and course conditions are being handle very poorly.
Wonderful Views
This is a well-tended course with great mountain backdrops. There are some quirky holes where our familiarity with the course helped a lot. Places where desert role can change your club distances and create great tee shots or balls lost in cacti filled washouts. Greens are fast & created for beaks. Not sure there is a single “flat” green on the course. Clubhouse staff were helpful. Only downside is a very small driving range & cramped chipping/bunker practice area. We will definitely golf SaddleBrooke Ranch again.
Dry and hard
Course has no grass under your ball in the fairway. Greens below average.
Grumpy
No ball washers at the holes. No refreshment cart services. No map of the course on the cart.
No water hazards that were ever seen as possible problem.
Overall the course is super forgiving.
But the lack of basics noted above I won’t be playing this course again.
Ed Robson would be ashamed!
Worth your time to play
Beautiful golf course in good condition with great views and interesting holes. You will not be disappointed. Worth the drive up to the Saddlebrooke area. Staff very friendly.
Great Experience
Love this course, well maintained and good food and drink with fair prices. Not overseeded but fairways were still impressive, greens in great condition. Awsome views of surrounding mountains. Rest rooms were clean and well supplied.
For the love of golf...
Soggy sand traps from overnight rain, constant wind and temps in the mid-40s made for a challenging round. Wishing the carts had seat-warmers, but still better than a day at the office.
