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 day for golf

The fairways were well manicured and maintained and overall the course was in excellent condition. The only issue was that the greens were a little irregular due to soms problems with the grass but I was told they were going to tear them out and put in new ones. It was a beautiful day for golf and it was a great value for the money. I look forward to playing there again

Wait till next year?

As many other reviews have indicated, Robson (SBR Developer) has lost this golf course. Don't know the reasons why, but sad to see this once very playable course in such bad shape. Greens will be redone this summer, but that's not the only problem.

Great Layout Greens are Riugh

This is a really nice golf course. Greta driving range and short game practice. This would be a top 5 course in Tucson if the greens were.better. Lots of POA blooms and dead spots. Ball was bouncing all over the place. They are nice greens just don’t know what happened. Looks like a northern course with winter kill.

Course is in horrible condition!

Don't waste your time until this course is overhauled. The current condition of this course is terrible. They have allowed to much play on dormant Bermuda grass. Never overseeded 16 of the holes this year. I doubt the dormant Bermuda will even come back because of the damage from overplay. The green's are also in really bad shape. This course needs a complete makeover.

Greens are in rough shape. Course is real easy but good for beginners or high handicap players. The amenities there are great for the residents there but the course needs some immediate attention

Nice course lousy greens

Greens are in really bad shape. I heard on May 1st they are tearing up the greens and replacing them. So I think it was over priced due to the conditions of the green. They had the temp fairway greens already marked.

Cart Path Only

I could not see any reason to make today cart path only on all holes. We should have been told at the time of booking if it was going to be cart path only! The course was dry and no over seading being done?

The greens were so rough the ball bounced in big hops and in any direction.

Overall impression

Impressive approach to the course and security check entering the resort. Attractive pro shop, with good putting area and driving range. Very windy which was cool, extra clothing recommended in winter. Course needed water but given COVID-19 ?..

Restaurant was packed so didn’t eat.
