MountainView Country Club

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?

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!

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.

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.

Good enough course in decent shape. The one problem is the greens. Infested with some type of grass. Not smooth and quite bumpy as the round goes on

Greens need work. Rough and lots of poa. Several fairways have either been painted green or fertilized/weed treated. In any case your ball gets stained green.

Greens were terrible. Apparently the member association has taken over recently and are trying to fix the course. So will give them time to do so.

Greens are terrible. There is some sort of crabgrasss on greens that deflects every putt. It's like an obstacle course to putt thtough every time

Almost all the greens are invaded by patches of thick lumpy grasses which made them uncuttable. Also four of the fairways had lost almost all of the grass and were being seeded. Proshop was just an empty room with a counter at which to check in. Not a very pleasant golfing experience despite a very nice track and outstanding views. Will not go back.

Nice course. The greens are in rough shape. The fairways and tee boxes are in great shape. I would play there again, but there are other courses in the area I would play prior to going back.

I have lived in SaddleBrooke for 12+ years and NEVER have I seen this or ANY course in worse condition. Every green is covered with Poana sprigs that render the greens unplayable. If you want to see your putts hop, skip and jump across the green this is the disaster location for you.

Several fairways on each nine have virtually no grass... scalped and painted green with a top layer of green sand they too, much like the greens, are unplayable.

The local HOA was conned in to buying this course along with the Preserve by Robson Communities and while Robson let the courses deteriorate dramatically prior to the completion of the sale they have only gone dramatically downhill since then.

No reduction in fees has occurred so you can be assured of paying far too much though if the green fees were free that would still amount to criminal fraud for the conditions you will encounter on the course.

I have not played the Preserve lately but can only assume that it is fairing no better than Mountainview as the same fools are running both. The only good news is that SaddleBrooke Ranch is in excellent condition and definitely worth your time for a quality round of golf.

I have played this course many times in past years but this was my first and will be my last time this year! I like the course but the GREENS are the worst I have played on-hard to put through weed clumps growing on the greens-If you don't get your greens fixed and put some merchandise in the pro shop you are going to have trouble. We paid $50 and it isn't worth $20-sorry just the fact!

The day started poorly with a "frost delay" of over an hour during which twosomes and threesomes were sent out sporadically. After being promised a possible early tee off than the revised teetime, we actually need off six minutes LATE. Then, after playing the front nine in two hours and nine minutes, a ranger appeared to tell us we needed to speed up our play. When reminded that we were a foursome playing at a good pace behind a threesome and in front of at least two twosomes, he NOT so politely said it didn't matter: we needed to play faster. The twosome closest behind us was two women playing from the forward tees. They never got close enough to request playing through. The ranger hung around around for two holes to make sure we obeyed his order. It was a sour ending to a round started with high expectations.

Great layout but the greens are virtually unputtable - bumpy and two different grasses.
Course just taken over by homeowners so will give some slack but won't be back until significant improvement is made.

We played Mountainview recently in high winds (40+ MPH) and found our round to be memorable on a well designed, scenic course which clearly is in need of golfer support. As with their sister course The Preserve, the Mountainview Pro Shop is in a period of management transition with vitually no stock on hand. We were told things would return to normal in April. This is a fair test of golf with generous fairways and well guarded greens. Yes the greens were infiltrated by poa which caused putts to roll off line, as reported by others, but this did not take away from our day at Mountainview. I would encourage golfers to support this beautiful golf course as they work to improve course conditions. Playing in such windy conditions was truly a test which we were glad to survive. We even managed to par the 365 yard par 4 , 16th hole dead into a 3 club wind !
