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.

Best Value Tucson Area golf

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite courses. There is some forgiveness off of the tee, but it is plenty challenging. Course conditions are very good.

Excruciatingly Slow Play!

Wrote a recent very positive review about SR when theire was no one else on the course. Teed off yesterday around 3:00pm yesterday, as a single, with a reservation. 1st hole took 25 min. to play waiting behind a twosome. Skipped the 3rd hole to pass them and ran up against a foursome on #5 aleady off the tee in the fairway. Waited 10 minutes to tee off while they were still searching for balls and hadn't finished playing their tee shots. No ranger in sight. Skipped the hole and teed off immediately, as the next hole completely open. A twosome invited me to join them on the 7th hole and played 7-9 with them at a normal pace. Had enough by then. Need to have a ranger on course. Had I not skipped two holes it would have likely taken 2.5+ hours to finish 9 holes. Not acceptable.

Greens are Immaculate!

Have played the course a number of times through the years but not for the last 6 months so didn't know what to expect. Odd they wouldn't provide me with a cart until 15 minutes before my tee time, prefer not to warm up on mats and didn't notice any water stations on the front 9. Green fee was very reasonable. As far as course conditions, the tee boxes and fairways were in decent shape. The greens are what makes the course special. They are in fantastic condition. Hold approach shots, smooth as silk, perfect speed, no ball marks and putts hold their line. Among the best in Tucson. Worth the drive.

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.

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.
