    I pretty much loved everything about playing up at Saddlebrook. The course is meticulously…read moremaintained. It is a little challenging (truth be told, if I am getting more than a handful of pars on a course--which I did-- it's probably not going to be compared to Augusta or Pinehurst No 2.). in a quest to understand just how challenging it is at Saddlebrook, I looked up its *slope (*slope is a rating given to a course based on how hard it is). Saddlebrook comes in at a 127--which, as it happens, is exactly the same score that Randolph North gets. (Not too hard, but neither is it a, "cakewalk") So, we have established that the course is probably but not that hard. But, you know what? As a golfer with a 15 handicap, is it so wrong to want to play somewhere that you don't have to drive home, "white-knuckling" the steering wheel, while dropping silent f-bombs about how stupid golf is, and wondering how much you could get for your clubs? The staff there was very accommodating and professional. I kinda like how they get on the loud speaker and call your group to the first tee just before your tee time. It reminded me of how they do it at Augusta! Let me tell you, the round of cheers that the other warming-up golfers gave me, when my name was called-out, sent chills down my spine. (Ha. I'm kidding....there were no cheers.) But in my head, I imagined stepping up the first tee with the crowd behind me on a mid-afternoon final round grouping at Pinehurst. With my golf-groupies' left boobs, freshly autographed, a hush would come over the fans standing near. Then, in the pregnant silence, a steely determined look would come to my face. (Oh geesh, my family always reminds me that I get off topic, both, in conversations, and when I do yelp reviews. My bad) So, anyhow... For anybody who has seen the backside of the Catalina's...you know that the scenery up there is quite lovely. Other things of beauty that were seen this day (*in addition to the celestial arch of my ball after I cracked a 7-iron directly at the pin from 160 out on hole after hole), included a beautiful waterfall that cascades and gurgles near the 9th hole; there is not a speck of trash to be found anywhere on the course; and the tee boxes, fairways, and putting surfaces look like they are being maintained by Japanese Bonsai-tree masters. I should also point out that the weather was about 8 degrees cooler (only 83 degrees) than it was in Tucson on this day. A storm rolled past as we played the font nine, cooling off the area even more, so it felt like we were playing on a perfect Spring day. I am the only one of my friends who is retired so far, so I sometimes will go and play a round by myself. When I played, "the Saddle", I did one of these, "solo runs" on a lazy Thursday afternoon in lat-mid-September. The guy that I was matched-up with lives on the course, and he informed me that the place is much-improved when compared to how he found it when he first moved to the area, about 5 years ago. Rumors of how Saddlebrook was kinda crappy golf (*and the fact that it is a bit of a drive from where I live), had kept me from "saddling up" (That's my just-invented term for playing up here) in the past, but boy, am I glad that I did. As you can probably guess from my review, I am definitely going to be "Saddling Up!" again. So in conclusion, any caballeros or chica vaquero's out there reading this, who might not yet have "Saddled-up"(or if you have, but its been a few years), you should give it a go.

    Improvements are underway and it appears things are trending in the right direction. Will be…read moreinterested to see how things look after said changes have been completed, but I'm optimistic Saddlebrook Ranch Golf Club is headed in the right direction.
