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.

Wonderful Views
This is a well-tended course with great mountain backdrops. There are some quirky holes where our familiarity with the course helped a lot. Places where desert role can change your club distances and create great tee shots or balls lost in cacti filled washouts. Greens are fast & created for beaks. Not sure there is a single “flat” green on the course. Clubhouse staff were helpful. Only downside is a very small driving range & cramped chipping/bunker practice area. We will definitely golf SaddleBrooke Ranch again.
Dry and hard
Course has no grass under your ball in the fairway. Greens below average.
Grumpy
No ball washers at the holes. No refreshment cart services. No map of the course on the cart.
No water hazards that were ever seen as possible problem.
Overall the course is super forgiving.
But the lack of basics noted above I won’t be playing this course again.
Ed Robson would be ashamed!
For the love of golf...
Soggy sand traps from overnight rain, constant wind and temps in the mid-40s made for a challenging round. Wishing the carts had seat-warmers, but still better than a day at the office.
Worth your time to play
Beautiful golf course in good condition with great views and interesting holes. You will not be disappointed. Worth the drive up to the Saddlebrooke area. Staff very friendly.
Will return!
I love this course as it is about perfect for my skill level. The people in the area are happy and the atmosphere welcoming. We'll return for more golf in the future.
Much better than last time
Different people in the pro shop made all the difference. Much more friendly and helpful than my last visit.
Staff
Clubhouse staff was something far less than friendly and welcoming. Felt like I was imposing on the SaddleBrooke community.
