Recovering from aeration

The greens were punch aerated and sanded a month ago and are still recovering from the treatment. Some still have a layer of sand while others don’t. Overall the greens are much slower than normal. Some brown and bare spots in the fairways buts that’s kind of expected at this time of year with our hot/dry desert weather. The maintenance crew does a good job keeping the course in good playing condition and has ice cold water to drink every third hole to combat the heat. Always liked this course’s layout especially the island green 17th that is a lot like the 17th at TPS Sawgrass in Florida. This is a great value right now if you don’t mind playing in the heat.

This course will challenge your skills

This was my first time playing here and my overall experience was fabulous. The entire staff is extremely friendly, helpful and professional making you feel welcome from the start. The off course facilities from the practice range through the chipping and putting area are in superb condition. The pro shop, restaurant/bar and outside seating area are open and inviting, well designed and very comfortable.

Now for the course itself. A word of advise, if the weak part of your game is getting out of the bunker practice a lot before you take on the challenging but fun layout. The course is in excellent shape considering the flood damage that occurred just 10 weeks ago and is a testament to the excellence of the superintendent and his crew. Check out the before and after photos outside the pro shop to see what I mean. The design will challenge your shot making abilities if you want to steer clear of the numerous bunkers on every hole. The fairways are lush and full with generous landing areas off the tee. The bunkers run the gamut from large and flat along the fairways to steep and challenging guarding the greens while the sand is fine but easily played from. The greens are in excellent shape, fast and true with challenging reads but large enough to allow ample options for your approach shots. My son and I, both 18-20 handicappers, found this layout to be fun to play and a challenge all at the same time and throughly enjoyed our round. We highly recommend this course to anyone.

Tough course but an excellent value

Tough and challenging course. Course is in excellent condition, greens were true and fast. Lots of elevation changes and stunning views of the Catalina Mountains. Super friendly staff. Played the course on a day that featured a shotgun start with "A" and "B" groups on each hole but the pace of play was well managed and all the groups were able to maintain a nice spacing. Highly recommend playing this course.

Fun course and an excellent value

This was the easier of the two public courses at Saddlebrook Ranch. Fun to play with wider fairways and no blind tee shots or approaches. Course is in excellent shape with lush fairways and manicured greens that were challenging but true. Staff was very friendly and customer oriented. Great value for the money, easily within the reach of all players.
