I had a hole in one on #6 so can’t complain about anything. Greens and fairways in great shape. Only problem was the group in front of us was really slow. No one in front of them so they just weren’t keeping up. Finally let us through on 19 and we were able to play the back nine in 1 1/2 hours.

But overall Great Day. Hole in One kind a day!

Played the course 2 days after it was opened post over seeding. I live in Saddlebrooke and play here often. I was disappointed that the fairways were not in better shape. Still areas in need of grass, fairways are not thick and lush as you would expect after being closed for 3 weeks and reseeded. Prior to ovrseeding the course was in pretty bad shape. I hoped for better. Played the Saddlebrooke 1 course on Saturday after it just opened after reseeding and its fairways were in excellent shape. Very lush and thick growth. I cannot understand what is going on with the Preserve greens keeping crew.

I live in Saddlebrooke and play here frequently. The course conditions have deteriorated in the last 6 months. The fairways were getting thin and looking shabby. I played soon after it had been reseeded and closed for 3 weeks. You would expect fairways in excellent condition. Not the case! Still a lot of patches of no grass and the middle of the fairways where you would expect you would have plush, thick grass, it was just minimally better. I think Saddlebrooke needs to replace their golf course manager. There isn't any reason they can't improve the overall condition. The Saddlebrooke 1 courses have just reopened and their fairways are thick and in perfect condition. Must up your course conditions as the snow birds are here and the amount of play is going to increase resulting in further deterioration.

I played the course today and it was disgraceful. I live in Saddlebrooke and play this course frequently, but today this course should not have been open for play. It was a cart path only day as there was a lot of rain last night. There was standing water in the fairways and in most of the sand traps. The fairways were muddy and soggy on most holes. In addition, the lack of grass on the fairways added to the muddy conditions. It was essentially unplayable in my opinion. Most of the sand traps will need to have new sand added before they become minimally playable. I recently played The Preserve and the Dove Mountain courses and they were 100% better in terms of maintenance and playability.

Shame on Mountain View for allowing this course to be played on today. I feel ripped off for having to pay for this round!

Play was extremely slow. Had 3 groups on some holes. Waiting time was painful. Didn't see any rangers trying to move groups along. Course is getting too much play. Conditions were average at best. I played this course a few years ago and it was in much better shape. Overall I was disappointed.
