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.

Excellent Bargain, Improved Course Conditions

Very pleased to see the improvements to the course since last summer when 2 of the par 5's were reduced to par 3's while work was done on those holes. Always enjoy the layout. Very playable. Fairways are generous and in good condition though some painted and thin on grass. Greens are quick and in very good condition. Bunkers are in much better condition due to added sand. With a reduced rate this course is one of the best bargains around. We paid $24. Also the maintenance staff have done an excellent job pruning trees and clearing out brush in washes. Kudos to them!

Complaints are the golf carts are gasoline powered and while new, it doesn't make sense to me not to invest in electric. Also carts have no ice chest, nor ball, club washer. While there are drinking water jugs on the course there is no hospitality cart so bring your own drinks/snacks.

Fun and playable course

It was cart path only which made the round take longer. Good conditions for the time of year. Good views of the mountains. I would definitely play it again!

Painted Fairways?

The tee boxes and greens were in fantastic shape but the fairways were dry and painted green. They looked good and rolled a long way too (for those who hit them).

Tee time blunder

We had a tee time for 2:30 but when arrived they said we would be going off at 3:45. This was because of a shot gun outing that happened earlier in the day. I was told they goofed and thought the outing would only take 4 hours! I’ve played in many shot gun outings and they always take between 5-6 hours. Needless to say we left disappointed. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I’ve learned if you don’t have a early tee time the -ace of -lay gets really slow. I will say the course overall is in great shape...just slow play.

P.S. Golf Now owes me my booking fee back.

The Ranch

I've played this course many times. It is almost always in great shape as it was today. The only issue I see is that the chipping area by the practice area is in horrible shape. First the green is extremely small giving the course has as a normal Sunday 150 players. Today there were 188 players. The GRASSY area around the greens is what is horrible. There is hardly any grass, and what is there is all clumpy. Other than that there course is again in great shape.

great greens

The greens were in great shape had good speed and rolled true.

A little weird is that some of the fairways did not get overseeded they just paint them. This course also has a marshal to keep the pace of play up so that is good .

always good

Found the course to be a little wet in places today but overall it was in very good shape. The practice putting green was a mess and we were not sure what to expect. Out on the course the greens were great and fast. The downhill putts were killers!

Played in just over four hours and then went for dinner at the on-site restaurant (Ranch House) and had a great meal at a very reasonable price. A great day had by all!
