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.

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,
Beautiful golf course
I was paired with three singles for my round. We all really liked the course. The scenery is especially terrific. I live in the HOA which owns the course and was very pleased to find how much the course had been improved since the HOA bought it on Jan. 1, 2018.
Unlike a couple of recent reviewers, our group thought the greens were in good shape although they were top-coated with sand which made them slower. We all made occasional long putts and thought the greens ran pretty true. There was no sign of the poa annua that was bad last winter.
There is now a food and beverage grill open at the pro shop. The food is good and there is outside seating with water misters going...or you can sit inside in air conditioning. There is now ice, cups and water for free outside the grill. There are brick bathrooms with water fountains at the club house and at two mid-way holes.
Views of the Santa Catalina Mountains are spectacular. Another joy is the wildlife.. You are sure to see many deer which are practically tame.
Personally, I find this course hard to beat.
A very pleasant round of golf
The only drawback was slightly uneven greens. Fairways and roughs in very nice shape. It's a pretty friendly layout - a few forced carries and intra-fairway hazards to negotiate. Fantastic scenery, very nice clubhouse.
good
people were great but it was real windy, we had a good time
Sick Greens
Although this is one of my favorite courses, the greens are in really bad shape.
Fun in spots
Course was a playable dessert course for average players. Lots of wildlife. The greens were terrible - bumpy and not well maintained. Course monitors were exceptionally friendly.
Not like it was
This course has deteriorated since the HOA have taken it over. Most noticeable were the fairways that were devoid of grass. The greens also we’re not in good condition. I wouldn’t drive a long ways to play this course again. And it doesn’t make me want to rent here for the winter again.
Needs extreme maintenance
I understand that the course was recently sold to the HOA in Saddlebrooke. Course is in terrible shape from the standpoint of deferred maintenance..greens were the worst I have played on in some time. Overrun with poa Ana. Extremely slow and very bumpy. Putts could not hold any true line. Fairways, with a few exceptions, were devoid of grass and in need of water. Bunkers were hard sand and in need of maintenance.
Maybe the new management has not had time to resolve these issues. Until they do, they should advise player of the adverse condition in advance. The green fees were way to high for the condition of the course
Greens not upto par..too many bare spots. course not in the condition I remember playing in the past. Seems like maintenance gone to pot. What happen?
Conditions are terrible.
Greens are bumpy, crusty and there are clumps of POA throughout! You can’t get a true roll. The fairways and rough are also in bad shape with lots of dead patches covered with sand and paint. This course is a poor value at any price. In fact, I would say they are close to completely losing their greens!
Nice layout, excellent fairways, iffy greens
This is a very well run operation, great staff. Course is pretty interesting with really nice fairways and playable rough. Was only in a couple fairway bunkers but they were well maintained and played well. The problem at present is the condition of the greens, they've been invaded by little tufts of crabby looking grass. Because of that I can't recommend it at present.
cool Sunday golf
We played on a cool Sunday when the course was not busy. The starter let my wife and I out by ourselves. The pace of play was excellent. The greens are very rough. Some of the fairways are under repair, but the layout is excellent, and golf is golf. We had a nice day.
what is POA?
