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.

Course is very good
Paid $46.00 up front on golf now, then paid $59.00 at the golf course, other 3 players also paid $ 59.00. Not sure how that happened. Pro shop told me it was all the fees charged by golf now.. I think we all paid more than we should have.
Course was very good. The Starter was kinda gruff. We are outsiders at the club and never really feel welcome.
Great conditions...awesome pace of play!
We had not played this course in several years and it was good to be back out there! Course conditions were awesome, especially for the heat wave, but we finished in 3 and a 1/2 hours on a Sunday morning, which was fantastic.
Great course, great views.
A lot of work clearly gone into this place recently and the course looks superb. Loads of grass. A bit "firm" and the greens really hard but held a well struck shot.
Views stunning. Welcome from pro shop staff excellent. Great range and chipping / putting greens.
Only negative (hence only 4 stars) was the information from the starter on the day. Lots of "please ask our starter John for more information on the course" messages while groups being called up. When I got to the first tee, no card, no directions, no info just "you're up next". Not even "the first hole is in this direction!!. Soon as I teed off he was off elsewhere. Didn't spoil the day though.
Course is in good shape...
This is a fun, challenging course that is currently in really good condition. Definitely recommend. The overseeding went well. Greens are in great shape Fairways are a little tight, but in good condition. Practice facilities are really good and the staff is very friendly. The layout is a little challenging and can play a little tight, but there are some great holes that are a lot of fun to play. Right now this is the Saddlebrook course in the best shape.
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.
GARBAGE
This course has gone to complete garbage! I can’t believe how much they are charging. Such a rip off. Save yourself the disappointment.
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.
