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.

Great time
The course was great. Pace of play excellent.
Good course for the money
Gorgeous scenery, good layout, disappointed in that bunkers are not drained/raked after a rainfall (like other Saddlebrooke courses). Overall a good experience and still a local favorite!
A Poor Experience
The fairways were in poor condition with many bare spots. The sand traps were not maintained with rock hard sand in the traps. However, the putting greens were in good shape. Too bad the rest of the course was poorly maintained which resulted in my poor golfing experience at this course!!
slow at first
We were called on time to start but, the group in front of us was extremely slow. They would spend as much as 8-10 minutes looking for a ball. This went on for about 6 holes before we just went around them and skipped a hole to pick up our pace. It was 109 degrees and sitting still was not one of our options. No marshal to keep things going.
Pro shop
Pro shop could've been a little more courteous, too bad because we really like the course but will never return or recommend to others
user friendly course
This is a very user friendly course with plenty of challenges, but also lots of opportunities to score well.
Nice course in great condition.
I will play here again! I would recommend this course.
This course in prime condition.
Very open and inviting to use the long stick all day. Smooth but fast greens.
Pace was a bit slow. 4 hours and 45 minutes to play late on a Saturday afternoon.

NICE COURSE PLAY IS TIME WAS GOOD ONLY PROBLEM NO BEV CART NO SODA OR DRINKS AVAILABLE. DRY COURSE AS THEY SAY!!!!
Faaaast greens
If you like fast greens that roll true and forever this is your course. they hold well too for being as hard and quick as they are. miss a green and good sand awaits you, not the hard crusty stuff some other courses have.
On the whole the course is a beautiful layout, well kept and a joy to play. the edges are desert and not nice if you venture too far off the fairway. I wish there was more drinking water around the course. Drinking fountains are at each of the full bathrooms on the course.(4 I think).
The courses weaves its way through the neighborhood but for the most part the house are set back enough so that even a wild tee shot doesn't hit windows and patios.
Whatever you do, be below the hole! Can't wait to play it again.
Great views
Challenging course with very good views.
Really Bad Greens
My wife and I have played this course MANY times. We have usually enjoyed it but not since the greens have been replaced (last summer). The greens are mini verde bermuda and do NOT get oversseded in the winter. In other words, they are completely DORMANT in the winter and Spring and do not grow. The course paints them green occasionally to make it look better. The greens also have another old grass type coming up which makes it look like weeds are popping up.
Don't waste your money until summer unless you really like putting on linoleum!!
Great Oro Valley Course
First time playing this course. Great for a wide range of handicaps.
I hate this course
If this wasn't so close to my home, I'd never play it. The dead Bermuda greens are untrue and like concrete. The fairways, and especially the aprons, are over watered as are the unraked sand traps..The result is that landing a few feet short of the green leaves you still short of the green because of wet turf. If you land on the green, it doesn't hold, and you wind up off the green or with a long downhill putt on the concrete.
Lastly, many pins are set just 4 paces from the edge of the green. Very cute. They're trying very hard to make a relatively easy course unfairly difficult. Ugh!
