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.

Mountain View, Tuscon
Excellent conditions. Tough course to get around, but with 5 different tee boxes, the course is fair for all skill levels.
Mountain View
Overall a very nice track with beautiful scenery and wildlife. Fairways and tee boxes were in excellent condition but greens were a little slow and bumpy. No marshall on course and play was pretty slow. You wont be disappointed with the choice..hit em straight!
Great course, excellent value
The only negative is NO food service, on or off the course! Maybe some reason why the grill wasn't operational, but nothing stated. A food cart would be very welcome, but nothing evident.
Great Condition
Fairways and greens are in great shape. Rough grass is dormant but playable. Abundant deer sightings all around course. No food, limited drink in the pro shop...recommend bringing some from home.
nice course
- short on staff(office area and when ur done) short on scorecards, no tees, no gps on carts, no beverage cart (mon. aft.).
+ course was nice with challenges and well maintained. facilities were nice (Pro shop, bathrooms, etc.) did not visit 19th hole.
4 hrs. on the money 1:30 = 5:30 mon. for a threesome.
will be back.
Nice course in saddlebrooke
I was concerned about some of the negative reviews written in August but they proved unfounded. I played at 11:37 with my son and they paired us with another golfer and we all had a great time. I found the course to be in excellent shape. As previous reviews mention there is no water or beer so we brought both and lots of ice. We had played the preserve 5 days earlier and both courses the views were excellent but we gave a slight edge to the preserve for overall playing.
wonderful views and wildlife
wonderful course and we saw 8 deer on #10. views are worth the drive from tucson. the course was well kept. We enjoyed the course and greens.
windy but nice
this course is very windy, as it is out in the desert with nothing to stop the wind. the course is nice and well maintained. the greens are better than the other two courses in Saddlebrooke.
Good course for family golf
I play here occasionally with my wife because the yellow tees (3600 yards) are great for her and there are a few very nice holes from the back tees. The greens were a little slow and grainy, but they are still new from the overseed and I am sure they will improve with growth. You almost always encounter aherd or two of mule deer for an extra bonus.
I'll never play Mountainview again
The round started off badly in the proshop when the gentleman at the counter informed me that my turtleneck long sleeve shirt that I wear on cold days at La Paloma was not allowed but he was happy to sell me a $70 shirt that wasn't worth half that price. He din't offer us practice balls, so we had to got back and get some. Our rounds started ok, but we quickly caught up to a 2-some in front of us that was routinely hitting 4 balls off the tee and in the fairway. Our three-some was backed up behind them as well as the 4-some behind us. The four-some behind us called the pro-shop but they said they could do nothing because there was no ranger on Sunday's. We finally gave up after 13 holes and headed back to the clubhouse. Needless to say, we bypassed their restaurant which we usually stop at afterwards for a few drinks. Enough with Saddlebrook, I'm playing Tucson from now on.
Lots of wildlife
Very scenic. Course in good condition for this time of year. Bring extra clothes as it cools off quickly in late afternoon. Would be nice if food was available but restaurant is closed so bring your own food.
Mountain View Tucson
Wonderful course with beautiful views. Highly recommended. Perfect condition and pleasant staff.
Good Course but no water
Course was in good shape and the price was great. They have no water on the course and no beverage cart nor do you go past the club house after nine. Its AZ and no water on a golf course? Luck for us it was not a 100 degrees. This course is always a little slow to play since there are a lot of members that take their time. Some of the sand traps are more like gravel pits. Huge number of deer and a few bobcats on the course.
Plus and minus regtarding over seeding
Over seeding was done and in very good condition. The greens were extremely slow. Cart path only at this time adds 1/2 hour or more to round.
Good shape - few players after mid-morning
Course overall is in good condition. Pace of play excellent.
An enjoyable round
Affordable and tucked away in the hills, the course is 5 degrees cooler than other Tucson courses and while it is not very long, it is full of challenges. Becoming one of my favorite short notice courses to play. I have seen deer on the course every time I have played it.
Dog track
This course is playing like a dog track right now. The greens are horrible. Absolutely horrible. They plugged 4-6 weeks ago and even with all the rain we have been getting you would think they plugged yesterday. The fringe is even worse. It's no wonder this course has such a bad reputation in the Tucson area.
