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.

Nice course for the costs

Pace of play, despite frost delay, was excellent. Course is in good condition however I hate the painted fairways.

No Disappointments, As Expected

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.

Careful

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.

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!
