MountainView Country Club
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.

Nice round
I was there on the last day before they close the course to rework the greens. The had already sprayed weed killer, but the greens still played fairly true. I will definitely play here again after they reopen.
straight forward
It was fun to play but they need better greens which they are going to do next week. Hope the surface will be better.
perfect for saddlebrook places
This is a 3rd installment to the Saddlebrook courses. First time to try it, since we always play the other 2 courses associated with it. This is more beautiful than i anticipated! I recommend this place, it is worth it, even in the cheap summer rates, just hydrate and wear a hat. Try it, it is very nice.
Nice course, great views.
Beautiful setting. Course was in good shape overall although the greens had some issues as did the bunkers. It is my understanding that they are reconditioning them both soon so it won't be an issue going forward. Fun layout with incredible views. Our 4 some played in under 4 hours. Definitely would play here again.
Nice but.....
It was a beautiful day at a lovely course. The pro shop attendant was friendly and helpful and then things went downhill. A twosome was put off right behind our foursome and we let them play through on the first green. Things were fine until hole #3 where we were told to speed up play by the ranger who had terrible manners. We then were encountered by the ranger again on #5 and #9 where he told us they had a full afternoon, and on #9 he told us we may have to skip a hole! At no time on the front 9 was the foursome behind us ever close. We finished our front 9 in exactly two hours. We finished 18 in just under four hours. At no time were we ever holding up anyone behind us. We consider the behavior of the ranger nothing short of harassment. He needs a lesson in public relations and course management. Worst ranger ever!
Better Courses can be Found
Compared to other courses in the area, this one is rather boring. Decent facility, although staff in clubhouse did not act like they really wanted to be there.
No water or cart service was available throughout the whole course, which would have been nice to know when we checked in (but that would have required an extra effort on the part of the staff).
I won''t be playing this course again during this visit nor future ones.
The was in great shape. The mountain views are awesome.
The one issue that i had was no cart service on the course and the club house is closed at the turn.
A fun course for all skill levels
I enjoyed the course immensely - you can make it as short or as long as you want depending on your abilities
Great views
Very playable layout with great mountain views. Course was in great shape and our foursome finished in 4:15. They could use a marshal on the course as several times we had locals ride through on their personal carts which was somewhat bothersome.
Good challenge.
Very enjoyable course for average golfer. challenging, but fair, with no unusually difficult hole positions.
Very nice course.
I played just after a rain shower so there was hardly anyone on the course. Played 18 holes in 2 hours. The course was very green and the greens rolled great. Got a GolfNow rate of $18 bucks, so it was well worth the money.
Late afternoon golf
I played this at 3 pm on a weekday. Was paired up with another couple who hadn't golfed in 6 months. Play was slow, but it was a beautiful day. It was a good value and the course was in good condition.
The course is scenic
I was impressed with the pace of play for such an active course. Played with a member who was very helpful. Excellent views. A long drive but worth it. There was no beverage cart nor a 19th hole. I will play again.
Good rate, close by, as we were staying in SaddleBrooke.
Greens were interesting. Ball rolled slow and not straight due to clumps of different grass growing.
Had a good time and pace was pretty good. Would recommend this course to other players.
In pristine condition
In about as good a condition as any course in town. Not as pretty surroundings as the preserve, but in better shape right now.
Had a great time.
Had a great time. It would have been nice to have a beverage cart.
Great Course
Great course but disappointing not to have a place to get a drink and a sandwich after our round.
Great views!
Although this was not the most challenging course we have played in the Tucson area, it was most enjoyable and has something for everyone. It is a neighborhood course; however, on most holes, the homes do not come into play and it has a feeling of openess. It was in very good condition and the greens are deceiving. I am definitely playing this course again.
Nice course
Started as a couple and paired with another couple. Enjoyed the round. Greens a little slow.
Great day at MV
We had a wonderful day. The GolfNow rate made for an excellent deal at this beautiful course. We will return soon.
