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.

Covid play

Course in good shape for this time of year. Each player had to have own cart. You kind of lose that feeling of playing as a group of friends. Not sure we need to go to these lengths. Too much in my opinion.

All in all, being on the golf course overcame the covid restrictions. Had fun and played well

Enjoyable round

Despite Covid19 restrictions we had a good time. The one negative was that there was no water or any other liquid available. It was a cool day, so not too much of a problem. However, when it's 100 + that could be an issue. That fact should be prominently displayed on both Golfnow and the course website.

Everything But Water

Overall course is good; moderately difficult; however, in Arizona hot/dry conditions require hydration....at the clubhouse was a water source but no cups; on the course there was no provision for water. by the end of the round, felt weak and dehydrated. The Ranch MUST address this ASAP.....the COVID issue is no excuse for not having an accommodation for water.

Excellent condition

From tee to green, course is green, moist and a pleasure to play on. One of the better courses around Oro Valley while others go through problems with greens or rebuilds of same.

Great deal for the money !!!!!!

This is a great course for seniors because it is easy to navigate, meaning that there are no big surprises on the course. You can see the problems ahead of you. The course is in very good condition with the best sand traps, in town. Greens and fairways are good and it is playable in 4 hours or less.. It is a great deal for the money !!!!!!

Decent course - poor staff

Played front 9 with a very nice couple Tom and Norma from Kansas City. Course was in good shape. Had a call to my girlfriend's mother had a medical issue so had to stop after 10 holes. Asked the guy behind the plexiglass for a 9 hole rain check he said no..we dont do that here.

Great course

Challenging enough. Same yardage as another difficult course I've played quite often in Tucson. Staff was pleasant and I enjoyed the other 3 players.

A decent course for the price

The clubhouse was understandably shut and the toilets as well. They are taking many necessary precautions to avoid spreading illness.

I felt the course was a rather uninteresting layout, with only one memorable hole (#10). The greens were in great shape, but the fairways were rather thin. The traps were excellent, unlike some I’ve played recently in Tucson.

There just aren’t many challenges on this course. Amber that’s on purpose, to make it more playable and enjoyable for the local residents. If so, that’s a good thing. But for an “outsider”, I just found it pretty easy.

I would go back, if I got another great price on golf now. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

Latest conditions

Course is in very good shape. Covid19 restrictions in place. No cart girl or amenities at the moment They need to set the hole restricters a little lower there were a few that the ball would not stay in the hole from any distance.

Checking in is done at a window at the back, takes a little longer than normal so plan for it. Bunkers have excellent sand, fairways are very good as are the greens, a good value for the money. In these trying times its good to be out in the sun paying golf on a fun course.

Nice experience

Good greens (a bit firm) bunkers and fairways nicely maintained. Like the layout (pick your proper tees).

exceptional course but ...

Love the course. very challenging with lots of water to swallow you ball. However, pace of play was extremely slow on a Sunday, with waits of five to 10 minutes on every tee box. (including the first hole.) Reluctant to play it again given these frustrating delays.
