SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club
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.

We love Saddlebrooke Ranch G C
We love playing the Ranch. The first and tenth holes were shortened to Par 3's kind of a bummer, but otherwise the course was great.
Arrogant staff - dishonest offer
There is no friendly welcome at this course. Today I was told they shouldn't really check us in. When I asked why he said we were too early and they didn't allow carts out more than 45 minutes before the tee time. There were probably 30 carts outside AND we were exactly 45 minutes before our tee time. Pure arrogance!
On top of that two par 5's were shortened to 100 yard par 3's. The tempory tee box looked like they had been used for some time without any adjustment. Most courses put a notice on Golfnow when there is unusual situations like airation. Not Saddlebrook Ranch., they didn't even mention it at checkin.
We like the course but it is a last resort choice.
Course being redesigned
I have played this course a few times and have always enjoyed playing it. Some of the holes are being redesigned this year making playing a full par 72 course into a "I don't know a par 68" I will say the greens are in great shape and I love putting on them.
The Ranch is maturing into a true gem
I’ve been playing Saddle Brook Ranch from the time it was servicing folks out of a trailer. It’s truly maturing into a great little track and definitely worth driving 20 minutes north of Tucson. The staff is always friendly, and the amenities are plentiful including a bar and grill that is modern, great bar, and truly great food. Would love to play a stroke event here.
Good track
Play there regularly. Due to repairs #1 & 10 shortened from par 5's to 100yd par 3's. Course in good shape, greens role nice. Wide fairways. Unfortunately, pro shop staff need an attitude adjustment and there is no on course refreshment cart.
Saddlebrook 16 and 2 halfs
Course was in good shape.... except for number 1 and 10. Did not allow for proper play. Both par 5 holes turned into par 3 for work on them. Would have been nice to know.
Coming back!
Course is in pretty good shape, greens are excellent fairways mostly good. Playing 1 and 10 as 100 yard par threes until the overseed so it plays to a par 68. Bunker work is done. Lot of fun to play.
Defer playing Saddlebrooke Ranch for awhile
Fairways are in rough shape. Lots of restored turf around the greens, that's not fully established. Greens are fine. 2 par 5s converted to par 3s while they restore fairways. Wait for a few months to play here, by then course should be in good shape. They're working on it, plenty of groundskeepers in evidence.
Could be better
Didn't get off to a good start first with the staffer when checking in then the first hole under repair wasn't good either. However I was paired with three other players which were great and made the day enjoyable despite the early disappointment. Once the maintenance work is completed the course will very good and will look forward to playing here again, I hold no hope for the staffer.
It was cartpath only. They have lost a lot of their fairways lotta brown areas in the fairways. Sorry

Course was undergoing bunker sodding and bunker drainage work and fairway Burmuda fairway promotion practices. Pro shop should have advised 2 holes were closed. Now not a good value. Generally layout is good. Marshall was courteous, pace of play good and beautiful clubhouse but course not in good condition! Wait till the fall to play!
Golf course is usually i pristien condition but it is in terrible shape dont know what happened
17 holes
Course is in poor condition, fairways are dead.
They are doing bunker renovations so during the week they close one hole ,plus #1 is playing as 100 yard par 3.
Almost makes it a 16 hole golf course.
On a positive note the greens are in fine shape.
Because of the other issues I would play elsewhere until they get a handle on their fairways and have 18 holes.
Saddle Brooke Ranch
Course was in terrible shape just done aerating and scalped the fairways and wet because trying to get the grass back. Half the sand traps under repair!! Was told that one hole was unplayable and then #1 was reduced from a par5 to a 100 yard. Par3!!!! Nobody at Golf Now said anything about how bad it was!!! Will not go back!
