The project will include newly designed bunkers featuring drainage, sand, shape and placement; newly designed tees; new cart path from #9 Green to putting green area; totally redesigned parking area and increased golf cart parking capacity. Matt Hudson, PGA Director of Golf Operations for SaddleBrooke TWO, says the project is “truly a product of collaboration between the staff and the community.”
SaddleBrooke Two retirement community recently announced a comprehensive renovation plan for its course at MountainView Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz. The 18-hole golf course is a public facility built in 1997 and has hosted NCAA Collegiate tournaments. Groundbreaking on renovations is scheduled for May 1.
“This multi-million dollar project is the result of a community focus by our homeowners, to ensure SaddleBrooke TWO provides the most up to date amenities of any 55+ community in southern Arizona,” said Dan Linegar, President of SaddleBrooke Homeowners Association No. 2 Inc. “This project, along with a newly constructed 14-court pickleball complex are great examples of that commitment by our residents. As HOA President, I am very excited to see this renovation at our MountainView golf course get underway.”
While the course will be fully closed beginning in May, work is already underway as the team has begun renovations and improvements to the cart paths, irrigation mainline, and more. SaddleBrooke TWO is working in tandem with Invited Club Management (ICM) on the scope of this project. In addition to renovation support, ICM is the management company for both MountainView Golf Course and The Preserve Golf Course.
“It’s amazing the renovation of MountainView is just around the corner,” said Matt Hudson, PGA Director of Golf Operations for SaddleBrooke TWO. “It is truly a product of collaboration between the staff and the community and accomplishes the goal of providing the very best for the residents of SaddleBrooke. State-of-the-art irrigation, new bunkers, and fresh tee decks will all contribute to the improvement of a community favorite.”
Planned improvements include: replacement of irrigation system; newly designed bunkers featuring drainage, sand, shape and placement; newly designed tees; new cart path from #9 Green to putting green area; totally redesigned parking area and increased golf cart parking capacity; drainage repairs and improvements; tree relocation to improve turfgrass quality; seven acres of strategic turf reduction; and rebranding for courses including new logos.
MountainView Director of Golf Course Maintenance, Paul Hallock said, “This is a very exciting time in the evolution of the MountainView Golf Course. We have taken painstaking steps to improve conditions overall, and this project is the icing on the MountainView cake. At the completion of this project, our members, their families, guests, and the greater Tucson community will be proud of what we have accomplished with this investment.”
Although work has begun behind the scenes, the official course closure and groundbreaking ceremony will take place on May 1.
