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.

Need to inform players of adverse conditions

I understand the damage the recent storms have created on all of the courses, however, the greens were in PERFECT condition, yet they created “winter greens” (basically a small short cut circle in the fairway with a flag in it), and failed to advertise that. I drove over an hour to play there, and was unaware of the adverse conditions until I the second hole. With that said, I would not pay $30 to play here during the week, in the summer, late morning/afternoon.

Saddlebrooke Ranch Golf Course

We have played this course several times and always enjoyed it, however, not so much today. We booked through Golf Now for a good rate but they neglected to state that the course has temporary greens. Was not until I paid for it and printed out the voucher and in small print said they were redoing their greens and we would be playing on temporary greens. Aside from that the course was not in good shape. Lots of bare spots. I think we were the only ones on the golf course playing. I think Golf Now should state the conditions before charging us for tee times.

Today., it was a very uncomfortable situation for me. First they did not have my reservation at their finger tips. Had to show them my confirmation t-time on my phone. No pre-time t-off call.I lined up on my own, no Marshall on the t-boxes and no one in front or back of me at 12:35 PM, my t-time 12:45 PM.I T-off’d. While driving to my ball, I was stop by Steve and was giving a lecture...on their protocol. I appreciated the info but did not need to be lectured on their protocol that they do not practice. I have golfed there many many times, (check your records). Steve proceeded to tell me that golf now & T-off do not pay them a cent & therefore I was golfing for nothing!!!. Please call me or respond to this review. I golfed with a good number of friends that live on their campus...thank you. Abe., oh by the way “some” of their workers need to call us by Mr.. Miss or Mrs...

Under construction

I recommend that people play this course when construction is done. Or they should charge $20. I was surprised that I was herded to a window to check in. Not even allowed to be in the pro shop??? I thought it was rude. They also complained about my wife’s shorts??? Another group behind us also were wearing normal golf attire, we’re they told something also??? Absurd. As an avid golfer I was perplexed of the service I received.

I think this course should be closed while they are undergoing major repairs. All the facts should have been stated on line when making reservation.

Fun

They have temporary greens and a very dry course, but virtually no one else was playing so we had a great time for very low fees.

All temporary greens. Poor fairway conditions. . Very geriatric entitled residents in hot rod carts. No starter or rangers. Disappointing at every level. Course needs significant improvements before we return.
