SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club

Not our 1st round at Saddlebrook. Played with a couple of residents who were very friendly and welcoming. Although there has not been a lot of rain for a while, the staff are maintaining the course to nice playable conditions.

The course was in great shape, especially the greens. It is player friendly.

I had 39 putts on superfast greens, but they do hold on your approach shots longer than 60 yards. They do not break as much as you think, except when they break way more than you think.

The course is fair, wide spaces for your tee shot. The Fairways are painted green, I think, with close cut, hibernating summer grass. Ball was green by the end and it would not come off. Rolls a long way, tho.

Didn't land in a bunker, but playing partner did ok from them and didn't complain. If you don'tknow Tucson, it's kinda rare to find decent bunkers here. Course mgmt usually to cheap to either buy sand or pay staff to work the bunkers. I'm sure they can point to some philosophical positive to explain it away. Many people just take a free drop from the bunkers now.

The staff was rude,pompous,and unfriendly.

Who do they think they are ? No wonder they are losing money.The fairways were green but were cut too short and like playing on dead grass.The greens were sanded and still too fast.All this because they don’t water the course adequately.I didn’t see any sprinklers come on at night.To top it all off some clerk told me I had to have the cart back by 5:30 because there were no lights on the cart.I have never repeat never had any clubhouse character tell me that before.Then he was waiting for me at his car when I returned it.Who would want to golf at a course like this ? No ball washers, no GPS, no fairway distance markers. Don’t worry guys soon there will be no golfers and you can shut it down.

Staff and marshals are rude and too condescending, people at the course act like they own it, if you don’t live there they don’t want you there, will not be returning

Very nice course! The only issue the the proximity of homes.

My only critique is that the fairways were very thin. Thicker grass on the fairways would have been nice and more forgiving. I know we are going into winter and conditions are changing.

Everything else was great!

I have played this course a few times in the past and find it to be a good value and a very nice course. There are a couple of tricky holes with washes in them, but overall a fun time!

4 hour 18 hole round pace of play 1:15 tee time 4some

Greens rolling a 12

Fairways and tee boxes in great condition

Range balls extra $ (not included)

No beverage cart

Great mountain views

Well managed and thorough/professional staff

Well done to all involved!

I had a great time playing the course. It would be nice if the fairways were over seeded. The dormant grass makes it difficult to have a nice lie.

Greens and Tee Boxes are phenomenal. Rest of course was in good shape too but the greens are just so pure right now.

The ball washers were removed during Covid and not replaced. Staff said it was a corporate decision not to replace. There are no beverage carts and water is available in only 1 place on back 9. Today's round was cart path only for all holes - given recent rains many areas were wet so that was justified.
