About
MountainView Golf Club at Saddlebrooke sits at an elevation of 3,200 feet, offering both dramatic elevation changes and spectacular views. The course sits at the base of the Catalina Mountain range near Tucson, nestled into the mesquite-covered foothills. Gary Panks, the golf course's designer, saw the potential of the landscape and utilized the many natural hazards. He also incorporated subtle mounding and strategically placed bunkers that blend seamlessly into the natural terrain. Panks created a fair challenge with this layout but the wide, player-friendly landing areas makes the golf course approachable for beginners. The second hole is one of the most scenic holes on the course but it is also one of the layout's more difficult holes. Golfers will find a mesquite-filled wash crossing the fairway before facing an uphill shot to a green guarded by trees and bunkers.

Green are getting rough
Very scenic course. Fairways are good to hit off of. Pace of play was slow. Greens are developing a weed fungus which makes them rough.
Fair course but not worth the drive
This course is ok but not very friendly. Restaurant is closed and no drink cart and no marshals. Fairways were thin on grass and greens were inconsistent. The Preserve is a much better golf course in this area.
No Amenities
At the ice machine by the club house were no cups. There was no beer cart at all. In the restaurant, at the turn, we were told that they do not sell beverages to go. On a warm day, like we had, this was not very pleasant. This course does not care about its customers.
Deer
This course was in great shape. The layout is challenging but very playable. Wild life, particularly deer, were plentiful and interesting. Loved this course - best of the Saddlebrooke courses.
Enjoyable and challenging.
The course was well maintained and provided a challenge from tee box to green. Wildlife provided to the overall great experience.
Player Friendly Layout
Hadn't played here in a few years. Golf course is well kept and 'player friendly'.
Thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Great mountain views.
Mountainview is a nice course with enough tee boxes for all levels of golfer.
Sand traps don't drain well and the sand was really hard packed.
Greens are really fast downhill and some pin positions were poorly selected.
I enjoyed the course and the views and will return in the future.
I agree with other reviewers that the cart seats are too slippery.
Don"t Walk This Course
I found this to be an excellent course. I hadn't played it in many years. There are some long hilly distances between holes, making a golf car essential in getting from one hole to the next and maintaining pace of play. I also found a lack of visible yardage markers. Outside of that, it was delightful.
Great course with good view of mountains
It was nice playing at this course. What I would like to mention is that it shouldn't cost more for spectator than a round of golf!
Fun to play
Played the purple tees which provided plenty of landing space in the fairways. The greens were fast but smooth and provided plenty of challenge. It is now one of my favorite courses.
Golf Living
This was my first play at this club. The experience could not have been better. It started with a warm welcome from the pro shop including full explanation of the facilities and course rules. This was helpful and made me feel that the membership was welcome to visitors and wished everyone to enjoy the life that they lived on a daily basis.
I was paired with a local threesome. Again, they were welcoming and inclusive. Play was uninterupted by delays while marshals monitored pace. The course was well laid out, chalenging and in great shape. The only criticism was that the greens were extremely fast. I measure every put on every course. This course will cause golfer to lose confidence quickly when your "gimme" put rolls by eight foot. It will take some play to adjust to the speed of these greens.
After your round, the clubhouse offers a full restuarant and bar with food availability. Beautiful and spacious! Obviously I enjoyed myself here and could recommend this Country Club to all.
Thank you Mountain View Country Club!!
You showed me how great it is to live the Saddlebrook lifestyle.
Carts and Greens
Way to much Armor-All used on the cart seats and steering wheels. Slide all the way across the cart seat when turning corners.
Greens won't hold and the apron stops the ball so can't run the ball up onto the green. One or the other would make it a more fair and enjoyable experience.
Scenic & Fun Course!
I always enjoy playing this course. It was in excellent condition! Pace of play was very fast on this particular day. The scenery is absolutely phenomenal. 19th Hole is OUTSTANDING!!!
