This new generation lining method increases the speed at which water flows through the bunker, minimizing washouts, reducing maintenance and producing superior playability. A new cart path was added from the 9th green to the putting green area and the golf operations team identified seven acres of turf that could be strategically removed to save on irrigation costs. Off the golf course, the SaddleBrooke Two team redesigned the parking area, increased golf cart parking capacity, and also rebranded the Gary Panks-designed course with a new logo. The 18-hole MountainView Golf Course originally opened for public play in 1997 and has hosted NCAA Collegiate tournaments. “This
is a very exciting time for SaddleBrooke Two and the MountainView Golf
Course,” said Director of Golf Operations, Mike
Karpe. “During the renovation we took steps to improve overall conditions
and reduce water use. Since reopening, we’ve heard great feedback from
our members, their families, guests, and the greater Tucson community.”
