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.

Bad Greens

The greens and collar and surrounding areas were soaked. The greens were in terrible shape. Dead spots, low spots and grass clumps. Also the greens had been painted to cover some of this up. Didn’t work.

Fun course

The usual winds were light, so the course played easier than usual. The greens have areas of this grass, but otherwise rolled fairly well.

Horrible greens

The greens are in terrible condition. For being prime season they are well below average. Bare spots on every green. The fairways are decent but several of them have been painted green. There are no amenities at the course. No cart service. The bar and grill that is near the course is great. Fantastic beers and great prices. But on the course it’s fend for yourself.

Poor conditions

Course is in terrible shape. Was like hitting off a range matt all day. Many greens in poor shape. Closing for overseeding a waste of time. The fairways are painted green. I am a resident here but will not play here again until they improve the conditions. Very disappointed.

Never seen saddle brook ranch in this bad of shape

Tee boxes hard. Fairways rough. Greens in bad shape, nothing like the practice green. Golf shop worker rude. Overall bad experience. Residents are embarrassed of course conditions. This summer it was in better shape. Won’t go back for a while.

Staff and management need an attitude adjustment.

The staff and management are ageist against anyone who looks under 60. Makes me and friends feel less then from check in to check out. Showed up for a 2pm tee time at 1:58 and was held back till 3. Reason was we where "late". Never seen a golf course do this. We tried to ask and think of a solution like skipping the first hole but was turned down in a rude manner. Was hard to watch the people we were going to be paired with tee off while we are practicing putting knowing we should be on the tee box with them. Pace of play is slow and got yelled at for passing. Meanwhile an older couple did the same with no repercussions. I could maybe expect this from a world class course but not one who dyes their fairways to make them green. Mike Jahaske you are an embarrassment to the golf world.

Used cart

Not sure what has happen to this great course but the fairways are painted and the greens are in a sorry state. Also my golf cart died on the course. When the replacement cart arrived the attendant was rude and down right not customer friendly. Will not be spending one penny on play at your course in the future.

Terrible Condition AGAIN

They seem to think Painting the fairways and greens is the way to go. The past 3 years this course has been a disaster. Save your money,. Go anywhere else.

A good course for seniors !!

Living in Catalina, the course is very convenient. The cost, through Golfnow, is very reasonable. The course, itself, is in pretty good shape. Sand traps are the best in town. They, actually, have sand in them. Tee boxes are good, fairways are ok and the greens are ok. The greens need more rye grass because there are bare spots and, there could be some mold on them. They do putt ok and, in fact, are pretty fast. I do know that they spray disinfectant on the carts, every night. Overall rating is GOOD !!!!!!

You wait around a lot

The course is nice but in winter they pair u up and cram a lot people on the course and residents cut into the game at the 10th hole, and u never finish 18 holes , it’s a logistical mess, need another bathroom station, don’t have time to take bathroom break at the 9th hole or u lose ur place, also got shamed for my attire, who does that to women these days in 100 deg heat ! But overall it’s ok
