SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club

About SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club

Tucked into the high desert foothills about 45 minutes north of Tucson, this course delivers the kind of dramatic Southwestern golf experience that makes the drive from the city worthwhile. The routing takes full advantage of the rolling terrain and natural washes, with elevation changes that provide both strategic interest and stunning vistas of the surrounding Catalina Mountains. What sets it apart from many desert courses is the more forgiving nature of the desert carries – you'll face plenty of strategic decisions without the punishing forced carries that can make some Arizona tracks a slog for mid-handicappers. The conditioning punches well above its weight for a public facility, and the pace of play tends to be refreshingly brisk compared to the crowded resort courses closer to Tucson. At 4.3 stars from over 200 Google reviews, it's clearly winning over players who appreciate solid golf in a spectacular setting without the premium pricing. The walking-friendly policy is a nice touch that's increasingly rare at desert courses, though you'll want to bring plenty of water and pick your seasons carefully in this climate.
