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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

Mountian View Golf Course Review

We enjoyed the course very much but felt the experience would be more enjoyable if the amenities included a small snack bar at the turn where a hot dog or other similar sustenance could be obtained., we also would like to see bag boys who could clean clubs after our round.

Rude course ranger hurt the experience.

Mountain View is a very nice, scenic resort type course with good sand, nicely over-seeded fairways and tees. The Greens were a little firm but true.

We were a foursome of 3 men and 1 lady (12 to 20 HCP) and played in under 4 hours. A twosome teed off in front of us and we never saw them after the second hole. A rather unfriendly ranger (not even a "Hi") approached us on the 8th hole just to tell us that there were almost 2 holes open in front of us and we should pick up the pace. We possibly could have played a little quicker but we had just teed off 1hr,40min earlier on an under 2 hour turn pace and were almost 2 holes ahead of the group behind us.

There are courses of equal or better value available with friendlier staff.

Great course for getting out of Tucson

This course is within a 'Retirement Community' which is nice to get away from Tucson's resort and Municipal courses. Since it cater mostly to retirees, it is a little more tame in it layout and ease of play. The pace of play was slow only due to the fact that for 28 February, the weather was a beautiful 85 degrees. The score wasn't great but the golf and weather and company were very pleasant.

Average

This course was closed this summer to work upgrading the greens and over seed the fairways. The greens had small weeds in them and the fringe on several greens were bare or weeded. One of the traps looked like the grounds guy left in the middle of racking it and left a large mound of sand in the middle and forgot to come back and smooth it out. All of the fairways had brown areas mixed in with the green grass. Pretty poor conditions!

Dead Painted Greens

I have played this course many times, but not in the winter. I was extremely disappointed to see that the greens were dead grass and painted green. Because of this, they were very fast with some unfair pin positions due to the concrete like surface.

Will not play here again until summer.

Slippery Greens

The greens were re-done Summer 2015. The course doesn't re-seed the greens for winter play. The greens have are extremely fast, almost impossibly fast. Three or more putts on each green were the norm for our two foursomes. One foursome stopped keeping score because of the putting.

Don't like the greens

Very good layout but I didn't like the greens. They were an unattractive off-color blue-green, too fast, and didn't hold a good shot.
