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.

This course is in great condition
Pace of play was great; one hole was under repair but worked out fine..
Awesome course
Played early Sunday at a great rate! Well kept, challenging course with spectacular views of Santa Catilina mountains . Might be the best kept course I've played all year. Make the drive, you'll be glad you did.
Stock up on drinks befor tee off- no beverage service during summer..
Good greens
For the most part the course is in excellent condition.
I was disappointed that we weren't told that #11 was under construction.
Mountain View experience
Well kept course, friendly staff, great pace of play.
Mowing
They had done mowing but left large piles of grass around which stopped the ball. Fairway didn't matter but it shouldn't have been in front of the greens.
Mountain View Golf course is Great.
Great course and close to home. The course was in good shape and pace of play was good.
This course has great mountain views
Enjoyed the course. There are a lot of different type holes with a variety of hazards, dog legs, natural desert areas, etc. Most greens are well protected with sand bunkers so the player needs to be accurate with approach shots. Greens had a nice pace without being overly fast. Usually are treated to seeing some wildlife during the round. We saw rabbits, deer and a very healthy coyote.
Keep it in the middle for a good score.
Keep it in the middle for a good score or you could lose a good many golf balls.
Mountain View CC
Mountain View CC is a well maintained community golf course that offers a challenge for players of all ability. I played the black/pine tees and had a lot of short irons/wedges for the approach shots (Handicap 5, shot 75). Greens roll true, multiple birdie opportunities. I would highly recommend playing if you are in the Tucson area.
Nice golf course, poor experience
Course in fine condition. However, at the turn the pro shop was closed, also the snack area, no beverage cart on course. Closed pro shop, who do you call for a cart breakdown?
Course full, no room to run but played in 4:25.
Hit into 6 times by group behind, talked to them, no results, no one to call in the pro shop, no marshal on the course.
Easy, fairly open, no services on Mondays
A nice, open course good for knocking the rust off your northern game. Greens were a little inconsistent. They appear to have swapped front and back nines recently so your GPS might get confused. The patio looks welcoming but bar and restaurant are closed Mondays. I will come back another day.
great shape all around but...
From tee to green great shape this time of year. Putting this review in context I have golf many courses from Edmonton Ab to Mexico and Hawaii. 200 per year.
MV is fun and in great shape. New comers beware. No water stations, not cart services (it 95 out yikes) no food at pro shop or club house ( drive to community center and ask them to cook up a sandwich and hurry). No yardage cards in pro shop or on tee boxes or any fairway layouts plaques or on score cards (several Blind tee shots). Just guess kids. Bring food and drink and review the course before arrival if you wanna post a good score. Enjoy.
Our lucky day.
Our threesome was filed out with a fourth player who had played the course many times. His helpfulness in describing the layout of holes, warning of hazards, tracking and finding balls, plus his overall friendliness enhanced our round immeasurably. Plus it had to have saved us a half-hour or more. Without such help, I would say a drawback of the course is the lack of a course map showing hole layout and hazards. And if you're planning to use a GPS device,, good luck, because the front and back nine numbers have been flip-flopped but the GPs didn't know that. Without our friend to tell us #1 is #10, #2 is #11, etc the GPS would have been worthless. One real plus was the multiple tee block choices.
this course has great views
I play this course 3 times per month but......
This past time may be the last time as the pro shop employee has, as usual, been very unfriendly (to put it kindly). He always sounds negative when he notices that I had booked my round through Golf Now, at a reduced rate. If the course has a problem with this they should STOP posting T times on Golf Now..
Always in good shape
I always enjoy playing the Mountain View course. Without fail, you get paired up with some great older dudes. Good conversation and good local tips on the course. Staff was great!
