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.

Saddlebrooke ranch

Most of the fairways are not overseeded but the biggest issue are the greens. They are in terrible condition. Very bumpy. Some greens have areas of no grass. The greens were painted to cover up the dirt areas

First Time Playing

The course is in terrible shape.

I was excited to play this course for the first time, unfortunately, I was beyond disappointed. The starter was really unfriendly and didn’t seem to want to help me when I wasn’t notified about the frost delay. I was then asked to pay a n “observation fee” so my 9-year old could ride along with me, ridiculous! I wasn’t informed about the fee when I booked my tee time. The course was beyond awful as the greens were full of grass patches and sand in some areas, there wasn’t a single green that wasn’t bumpy. The fairways had no grass and were more like concrete painted with green paint. They were very hard to hit off of and to top it, we had to keep the carts on the path even though there was no grass to ruin. Overall I was disappointed with my first and probably only experience at Saddlebrook Ranch.

Course is in horrible condition!

Fairways in terrible condition and dyed green. Except for the two you can see from the main road. And the greens simply just need to be replaced. Most of them are beyond repair.

Course conditions have declined.

The practice green/chipping area have definitely been improved. However, between the painted fairways and greens that have bumpy, spotty growth issues; the golf experience has declined. Still a great value comparatively along with course layout and playability. You'll also need to be aware of extra ball roll related to the fairway conditions. I can live with the painted fairways but the greens need improvement.

A good course for seniors !!

This course used to be one of the better courses in Tucson. Management refuses to spend some money on rye grass seed for all 18 fairways so, they paint several fairways !!!! Top golf course people will tell you, not to scrape the old bermuda but, to leave a quarter inch of it above the ground. Planting a generous amount of rye will not damage the bermuda if it is cut short in late spring so that the bermuda can come up for the summer. Guess they have not figured it out, yet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
