New greens hard and fast, NO overseed on fairways so tight lies everywhere.

Good play, but frustration when good shots not rewarded due to hard/fast greens.

Good Track, Needs Work

Saddlebrooke Ranch has been a solid course for many years. Biut has become a course in need of maintenance. Fairways had bare spots, green collars were dirt and greens spotty.

Good Layout, Inconsistent Greens, Bare spots fairway

Fun course to play. If you hit it well you score. Greens inconsistent at this time. Lots of grain so you need to keep the speed up.

Under Construction

The course has been taken over by the HOA. Lots of maintenance going on. Greens and surrounds have been punched. Fairways punched as well.

At this time the course is not in good condition. Perhaps will be better in the fall. Skip at this time.

Scenic, Interesting and Challenging

They call it the mountain course for good reason.This is an approach shot golf course. Generous fairways with a few strategic fairway bunkers. But beware on the approach shots. Heavily contoured greens the are quick and reading them a major challenge.

Your short game needs to be spot on to score here.

Course Maintenance Falling Off

This layout is a premier track by Weiskopf. Requires good shot making skills. Maintenance has gone from Average+ to less than average. Areas of fairways are burned out and greens becoming browned out.

Bunkers are very poor. No sand in deep bunkers are almost unplayable.

It is a great deal at summer prices, but don't expect outstanding conditions.
Staff is top notch.

Good Layout, Pick You Tees and Play to Your Game

Overall good experience. Most greens are slightly elevated, so you need to carry you approach shot on the green. Greens had recently been aerated and therefore putting was a challenge.

Great Course With Wonderful Catalina Mountain Views

Course requires good shot making and ability to carry ball to green. No bounce and run. Great condition fairways & Greens. Bunkers a bit suspect with very heavy sand.
