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.

Greens we're true. Interesting blind tee shots can be intimating, however, just takes a little course management. Always see a lot of beautiful deer.
Beautiful Views of Santa Catalina mountains
Very enjoyable course with wonderful views and interesting critters. Saw the same big coyote hunting on three different holes, lots of ground squirrels, rabbits and deer. The deer are so used to golfers that they don't even move when you approach, just watch you.
I was warmly greeted by name upon arrival and sent right out ahead of schedule with a nice couple.
There are five choices of tees. Fairways are wide and well kept. The greens were not as good, some were bumpy and slow.
The holes are each individual with long cart paths connecting them, as opposed to some courses where they run up and down side of each other. Many have spectacular views of the Santa Catalina mountain range. Hole four is especially a delight and worth a pause from golf to appreciate just how lucky you are to be alive at such a magnificent spot. That is, just perform you shank your shot into the desert.
I must confess, I live here and love this course.
Near Perfect Golf Experience
Play date 5/2/17
Went out as a single and was paired with three others who have played the course before. Layout was great and challenging for all levels of play! Pro shop staff was very friendly and informative, which is unheard of at a Robson community. They treat their guests the same as their members here! The only issue was the out of control poa grass on the greens, it was very rare you would have a putt where you didn't have to maneuver the weeds. Overall a great experience, and I would play again for the rate!
Customer Service Refresher - Highly Recommended
I like the course. In fact I like ALL the Saddlebrooke courses - Mountainview, The Preserve, Saddlebrooke Ranch - but the treatment you receive from their staff is abismal. Based on that, my friend and I will never play any of these courses again. They are consistently rude. I normally wouldn't put so much emphasis on how I'm treated - course condition and layout are by far my highest priority - but I can only put up with so much. Robson Communities need to clean house.
good outing
The course was in near fabulous condition.
We had different level of players in our group and it worked well for all.
As we checked in, felt a bit biased against, as the gentleman answered with "Well, you DID book with golf now"
Overall, great course to play
Good greens
We find that the greens are consistent when ever we play this course
not bad...
I hated the noisy golf carts but liked the course. Chipping around the greens was definte challenge. Greens were not quick but they were ok
Mountain View
Great tee boxes, excellent fairways, bumpy greens, 3 ft greens' collars rough,uneven. Course design neither creative nor varied. Large ponds on two holes, neither affected play or club selection.
Greens a mess
We like this course a lot but there was a significant amount of Poa growing all over every green making putts bobble all over. We played early morning and the course was quite wet from watering.
Played twilight..great rate..greens were good....real sand iin the traps..I would play again
Good Value with Views
Greens wouldn't hold with some grass issues, but overall we will play it again
this visit. Pretty views. Members were warm and welcoming.
The course is very good. Problem was we got stuck with a couple of clowns who were smoking cigars, so we had to quit after 9 holes. Stupid people.
Mountain View Course is good, but slow play and no marshalls
The weather was perfect. The course in very good condition. The pace of play was unacceptable. We played as a 2-some with a 2-some in front of us on the front nine and a 3-some in front of the 2-some in front of us.
The 3-some were very slow and didn't let the 2-some in front of us play through. Also,, the 2-some in front of us played multiple balls and slowed us further . because of this. Waiting for nearly every shot bacame a thing to do.
At the turn, we noticed the 3-some and 2-some dropped off - good news we thought. Not so much, we pushed a 1-some on hole 10 because a 4-some in front of him were slow. For some reason, the 4-some wouldn't invite the 1-some to play through but the 1-some invited our 2-some to join him. That didn't help since our 3-some waited the entire round for the 4-some in front of us.
Based on the slow play and no course marshall, I would hesitate to recommend this course.
Overall good conditions would gladly play this course again
Challenges without punishment
Mountainview is a lovely course for recreational golfers. Plenty of challenges but almost no punishment makes for a great day of golf. Plenty of tee options for all levels. Course is in very good shape, greens are a bit rough and slow, but manageable. Too bad there is no grill there to grab a sandwich, no beverage cart on the course but no problem to just bring your own.
I like the course and the condition, however the staff is the most unaccommodating I've ever dealt with in the Tucson area. I could say the same for ALL the Saddlebrooke courses. The Director of Golf needs to take his entire staff to a customer service seminar. I will never play those courses again - based solely on how I've been treated
