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.

Enjoyable Afternoon
Course was in excellent condition for this time of year. Greens rolled nice. Paired with a great threesome. Had a very enjoyable round.
Windy at the ranch
Saddlebrook Ranch is often windy as it sets in the plateau. On windy days its location exacerbates that challenge and it seems longer. The greens were fast and true and in excellent condition. The course was in very good condition. Staff is friendly and pre round range and putting were in great shape. After two o’clock the food at crossover closes so we barely squeaked in to get a hot dog to go between nines. Big sale in pro shop until 7th so visit right away.
Bring food and drink
They removed water to drink from the course and no cart girl. They say all the members bring their own stuff but dont say that for you when making t time
ok
Course just closed for a week - fairways and
greens aerated bumpy sandy - should have waited another week
no ball washers at tee boxes
Aerification Alert
It would have been nice to know ahead of time that the entire course, fairways and greens, had been aerified and sanded the week before.
Saddle Brook Ranch
Front nine was wide-open, great pace. Back nine, not so much. Course is starting to look a bit "haggard" due to the heat (areas dying, patching in turf, lots of mushy areas due to extreme watering). All damage noted was in the approach areas/fairways, greens were just fine.
Sunday
Gary in the clubhouse was very friendly and even let us go off a little early due to amount of people playing. Thanks Gary
Freshly punched and top dressed.
Almost unplayable due to excessive top dressing. Wait 2-3 weeks for conditions to normalize. There was NO WARNING about this on the TeeOff website.
Terrible Course Conditions
While I was playing they were watering the fairways. I had to stop until someone turned the water off.The fairways were full of sand with very little vegetation. The greens were bumpy and very slow to put on. I was very disappointed. Very few people were playing. I was a single playing the course by myself. I play this couse alot and never saw it in this poor condition!
Nice Round of Golf
We had a beautiful day to play. The course was in really good condition considering the time of the year. The greens were hard, tough to hold, but true, and speed was up there. Great cahampionship layout - I played from the pines and it was very fair. The staff in the pro shop was not very welcoming, a little to up tight for me. But, overall a great day.
