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.

Excellent intermediate course and value
THis is a great high intermediate golf course...enough of a challange but does occasionally "reward " the average golfer. It is also in prettty good shape !
one of my favorites now
great course to play/ does not beat you up/ but a good challenge/ had a great time and will be back
Great shape
Course was in great shape. Played the 2nd tee time of the day as a foursome in under 4 hours.
THis course was great with the views to equal the greatness
Great play and very nice condition, even after a downpour!
Really Nice
Even saw 5 large deer. Greens and fairways best played this year
Mountain View a delightful course with great mountain views
Greens had been punched recently so putts were a trial. Course in great condition. Sprinklers were on at some of the greens and fairways not a problem though. Golfed with three guys I didn't know... had an excellent time. Which is my usual experience for any of the Saddlebrooke courses and why booking a single slot is never a problem. Plus the price was definitely right. Another plus there is plenty of iced water on the course and at the turn.
the course has great features and challenging holes
The course was in good shape considering that they just aerated it recently. The greens rolled consistently.
Course was just punched including the greens
Course was a little dry, good roll on the ball. Greens very slow due to recent punching.
Good course in good condition
The course has a good design and it was in good shape. Greens were excellent and the fairways were well maintained. Staff was friendly. I enjoyed the course as it was a bit easier than some of the courses in the area, such as The Preserve and Dove Mountain. Not a lot of changes in elevation in this course. I saw the resident deer on two holes, they are very docile and will let you approach within meters, beautiful animals. I will be back.
This course has great features and was in really good condition.
Really enjoyed the experience of playing the course. Especially enjoyed the deer that accompanied us on the 7th and 9th holes. It was a great afternoon of golf.
The course was in primo shape, every hole from tee to green.
This course is challenging yet it suits low handicappers and mid-level players with its tee box placements. The pace of play is just right; we moved along at a steady pace but still had time to enjoy the views and native wildlife, including deer.
Fun course, green grass, great restaurant.
Pro shop could be friendlier, but restaurant made up for it. Excellent cheeseburgers, great scenery, lots of deer around the course.
This was a Great Deal
The course was in very good shape with consistent greens and well kept fairways. The only negative was the sandtraps were all very hard and need to be broken up and raked out more often.
Good value
Group in front could have played faster. Ranger spoke to them but it made no difference.
Great value...hidden gem in the area.
Not one of the most difficult courses in the area, but certainly challenging. It has everything a golfer is looking for in a desert layout...forced carries, water, undulating greens, elevation changes and is well maintained. You can score well, but if you're not careful and keep it in play, the course will bite you.
Well maintained and great scenery.
The course was in excellent shape, greens were fast and true. Beautiful scenery. The onlyh reason were took 41/4 holurs to play is we took pictures of the views and watched the deer. No one in front or in back all day. Just a fantastic day at the course!
very well maintained, and nice course
good course, well maintained, but needs more attention to drinking water during hot Tucson days
Fun course with good mountain views.
Course was well maintained with fast and firm greens. Good views of Catalina mountains. Pace of play was good but could have been much better if slow foursome ahead of us would let others play through. Management should educate club members to let faster groups play through. We were a twosome and a very slow foursome of "members" ahead of us would not let us play through. Rude!
There were no Marshalls on the course
The pace was rediculously slow. There was a foursome ahead of us that continuously didn't like their shot, so they would drop a ball and rehit. There was no marshall on the course to help speed up the pace. I took 4.5 hours to do the 18 hole course. We jumped ahead of 4 groups so we could play at a reasonable pace. We actually only golfed 14 holes. Was not at all satisfied with the pace and the fact there was no marshall to monitor the pace and speed groups up.
Course was in very good shape especially just starting the transition. Very interesting layout.
Two of us were paired with two members. We were made welcome. Very good value at a peak tee time. Tee options very well thought out. We will return.
