SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club

The only reason I knew they were working on the course was my brother who lives at the Ranch forwarded a email saying the first fairway was closed for repairs and it would play as a par three instead of a par five. When I got there I also found out the sixth hole was completely closed. What nobody told me was that most of the fairways were all dirt and no grass. This course is so poor right now that they should pay us to golf there! I gave it a single star only because a lower rating was not an option.

If you hit your drive in the fairway, know that it will be brown dead grass with barely a green blade to be found. The ‘rough’ is butchered down to about 3/4 inch while the fairways are butchered down to the roots. Maybe they don’t know you don’t cut grass super short when it is hot out? I dunno. But $20 was about $19 more than it is worth. Need someone that understands the area as this is the second year in a row it looks like dead barren landscape.

The fairways have all beeen scalped {excessivelyt} in anticipation of the arrival of the Monsoon. The frst fairway {apar 5} is being redone so now plays as a par 3 giving the course a rating of 70 vs 72.

We teed off at 7, the first tee time of the day, but sadly the proshop sent a bunch of folks off on the back nine instead of the front and we ran into a wall of bozo's starting on 11. We managed to play throough several groups and after waiting quite a while broke through the nonsense and managed to finish our round but the delays were ridiculous and totally unnecessary.... Arrrg!

They will start redoing 23 of the sandtraps later this week and this will dramatically impact the playability of this course for at least a couple of weeks.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks the course will get back to playable but for now {sadly} it is not worth the effort. This time of year course conditions are absurd but once the Monsoon kicks in and repairs are finally made it may get back to playable... well, maybe... sigh.

Just enough challenges to make it interesting and enjoyable. The grill/bar/ restaurant is very nice and the food was outstanding. Great view in all directions.

had a great time it's out of book ranch The layout is perfect The course is in great shape Dave at the desk and the pro shop was excellent Hannah and the gals in the clubhouse is great beer with cold food was great The golf course experience was excellent love this place

4th time I have played this course this year. Great value and course is set up to allow under 4 hour pace of play.. Summer is here and the course is browning out and fairways are tight. Greens are very large so practice your lag putts before teeing off.

No cart girl but an outstanding grill and brews clubhouse across the street.

Can't wait to go back.

We play this coarse many times and right now the coarse is in great shape even after the greens have been plugged and sanded.

When golf is too HOT in Tucson, we always play the SB Ranch as it is cooler.

Despite being well into June we continue to see prime time spring rates. The fairways have all been excessively scalped and absent the start of the Monsoon they are overwatering to try and revcover the growth they mowed into oblivion. Soggy, muddy fairways do not play well.

The greens have recently been aerated and are horribly slow and bumpy - no warning of these conditions on the Golf Now site like they used to post {What's up with that GN?}

Pace of play was awesome being the first Tee time {0700} of the day. No services are available on the course. No Marshalls are to be found, no drinks or snacks are available and if you have a problem {we did not} you are on your own.

Hopefully this course will get it together and recover the level of a quality golf experience they used to have but for now, not so much... sigh.

Very nice day of golf. The Ranch is an enjoyable course .

The greens were punched the past few days and are sanded well. They will be great again when they fill in.

Played with a very nice couple from California. Charlene and Hal were good golfers and nice to talk with!

Finished our round in 3hr 25min.

Great bargain. Greens in terrific condition, fairways thin but to be expected in June. Always windy in afternoons this time of year so play in am if want to avoid breezy conditions

Enjoyable day of golf! Never been disappointed with this course!

Great course. Spread out. Well taken care of. Last 3 out of 4 times no food/drink cart. Could use a beverage when playing like other courses. Overall fun course though. A little over priced but it's close to home.
