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.

Pass on the Ranch this Summer

Let me start by saying that I really enjoy this course, when it's in decent shape. All 18 greens are being redone, so all holes are using temporary greens. Lots of construction. Some tee boxes have been stripped of grass. The course will be great once all the work is done and the new grass and greens grow in, but for summer of 2021? Not much fun, so I suggest you find another place to play.

A Terrible Golf Course

I have played on this golf course since 2007 and have never seen such a course that needs MAJOR work. First all of the greens are under repair so temporary greens were constructed which were not very good. There was a hole that was shut down because the hole was unplayable. The fairways are very poor. It was like hitting a ball off of concrete. When I first played on this course it was in pristine condition . Since then, it has gotten worse and worse so I believe it is almost unplayable. This is because Robson will not put any money into this course because he only wants to sell houses.

Greens need work!

Fairways and tee boxes are in very nice shape, however the greens were very brown and had very little grass on them. Quite surprised at this. They were lightning fast and the ball did not roll true

The course is terrible!!! Greens look like concrete pads. Two holes were closed and pro shop did not notify us when we arrived. Temporary tee box and the fairways are dead grass. It’s been downhill since then. We played, yet I was charged a no show fee. Our golf club will never play here again. All others be aware of this course as it’s poorly managed and the staff is rude as well!

Greens, What greens.

I have been here many times. I will always return, However, we were not informed that the greens had been poisoned to dry out so they can redo all the greens with a new grass. I would have appreciated that before coming out. Also because the greens are being dried out it was amazingly fast on those puts.

They are getting ready to redo the greens and had them all dried up. They had two holes closed and still charged us the full rate. We will not be going back for some time.
