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.

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.
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.
CPO, uh oh!
Come to find out that the Hot Deal was Cart Path Only. With weather like we had, I would have walked had I known it was CPO. Course was in super shape, greens were impeccable.
Fun course to play
This is a wonderful course to play. Great layout. Greens are in great shape. Fairways are in very good shape. Great staff with starter and ranger(s). Many improvements have been made and will only get better.
Fun timely round!
The greens are in nice shape and the fairways are scalped and they are ready for over seeding! Pace of play was good! We were a foursome and played at under 4 hours. I will come back after the over seeding is completed and the grass has a chance to fill in.
Nice greens
Course was in fair shape fairways were not in good shape a lot of bare spots greens were in great conditon won’t go back until fairways are in a lot better shape
Very Very slow pace
Course is a little rough due to the wet weather and they plugged it recently. But the pace of play is not monitored and was very very very slow,
