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 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.
This course needs improvements.
The tees are in need of renovation. The fairways are in reasonable shape. The greens are in horrible shape.
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.
Saddlebrook Ranch
Greens are in dismal shape and understand they will replace them this spring , but will be using temp greens . Tees and fairways in ok shape.
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.
Course is not being maintained
Terrible greens - very little grass, bumpy, dead spots. Fairways were largely hard pan. Tee boxes were in good shape - yippee! Course ranger Paul was a real jerk - poor customer service.
Disappointing!!
Sad to see such bad shape for what has been great in the past. Fairway was dead and painted green. Greens were very bad with crabgrass potholes or perhaps a fungus and the staff tried to bully off the course with 3 holes to claiming we were not gonna be able to finish. This isn't the first time we've had poor customer service.
Saddle room Ranch
Greens worst I’ve played in AZ staff so so No on course beverage cart
Expected better conditions this time of year
The price we paid was probably reasonable for what we got. Even though it's March 1, still in the "high season" the greens were rouhg and patchy.
Looks Are deceiving
The condition of the course is the worst I have ever seen it. Grass is sparse to non-existent, some areas were painted to look green. The only part of the course that appeared to be cared for was near the club house and sales office. Other courses dealing with Covid are able to provide much better conditions without the bandaids this course has applied. A very sad experience.
The course has the potential to be very nice. But is in absolutely horrible condition. And, the developer is trying to sell houses! It was much better 10-years ago — the last time I played here.
Sadlebrook Ranch Review
The golf course was in horrible shape! The fairways were barren and the greens were in very bad shape!! We had to walk to our balls on most of the fairways since carts were not allowed!! I felt like I got robbed! They charged me over $50.00 for a terrible course. I will not got back!!! If they are not going to spend money on the golf course then they should just shut it down and build houses instead of having a golf course!!
