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 course, but the greens...

The course was in good condition, however the greens were not green, kind of grey and full of weird bumps and track marks from mowing equipment. That was disappointing.

They were fast but not true, and that is a bad combination. Not sure what happened to them,

they were much better 3 weeks ago, even though they were just coming out of overseed and fuzzy.

Way overpriced

Booked a round without reading reviews. What a mistake. Practice facilities, tee boxes, fairways,, rough, greens all in medium to poor condition.. pace of play on front nine very slow. We suspect they were members.

Where's the grass

After a warm welcome by the fine gentlemen in the clubhouse I proceeded to the practice putting green which didn't seem to have a grass surface but rather a dark solid surface which reminded me of some greens where they have painted sand topped with oil. The fairways and rough were indistinguishable from each other except for the green dye which designated the fairway. They were consistent, as were the greens, but for the price charged I felt that we had been overcharged. We had a good time but the underlying feeling was that in the future I will not return unless the price is lowered considerably or the grass grows.

Painted fairways

The course apparently has not been watering for some time ands it shows. The ground is hard as a rock. It’s a very forgiving course and plays very differently from it’s sibling, the Preserve. Which is a much better track.

For the price there are many nicer golf courses to play in the Tucson area. The fairways are only green because they are painted green. The greens are questionable but the layout is wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Some views are stunning but focusing on your game, they can go unnoticed. It is just overpriced for the shape it is in.

Played. What a sad experience

Greens are painted brown and as fast as my driveway. Painted concrete fairways. No overseed. Disappointed.

Poor conditions

Every green and fairway was painted. That’s fine given the time of year but this info should have been divulged prior to committing to play here and the price should be lowered accordingly There are little to no amenities on the course. Price was too high given the conditions. There are far better courses for cheaper in Tucson. The layout is nice but the conditions made it virtually unplayable.

Needs Water

First round at Mountainview since last April and was very surprised and disappointed with the course conditions. The entire course (T-Boxes, Fairways and Greens) are extremely dry. Had to drive the Golf Cart slowly as the dry grass flys up and into the cart, clothes, eyes, etc. Most frustrating was the greens. Dry, hard and extremely fast! Approach shots landing on the green simply would not hold. It was like putting on a pool table or pavement. Very nice layout with exceptionally friendly staff however it pales in comparison to Saddlebrooke Ranch. They are going to have to start irrigating as a once nice course is on the verge of becoming a cow pasture. Very Sad...

Painted fairways & greens

The course was in horrible shape. There is absolutely no live grass on fairways or greens. Painted fairways & greens are never fun to play on especially for the money we paid. I would NOT recommend this course this time of the year. I feel cheated!

Mountainview has potential

This course definitely has great potential. Greens and fairways have some issues with invasive grasses

Still a bit thin after overseeding … and full recovery (from previous owner/developer's neglect) in a few areas will take several seasonal cycles. SBHOA2 is committed to a quality golf program … but needs to keep rates reasonable to attract non-resident golfers.

Fun outing

Always a friendly and helpful atmosphere at Mountain View. The greens were very good, but some fairways were still needing to grow some grass. But they're working on that. Worth the drive to get there.

Greens are terrific

Last year major greens problems; today, fast smooth perfect; except for some rain damage and sanding on the first few holes, the course is fantastic.
