Mike Karpe, PGA

Head Golf Professional

(520) 818 1491

A Twin Cities native, dontcha know! Mike began his journey into the golf industry at the age of 12 as a Caddie. The hook was he just started to play golf and could play for free if he caddies 3 times in a week. Mike moved to Tucson in 2006 for an opportunity to leave the snow and cold for the beauty of southern Arizona. His dream from the age of 13 was to be a PGA Member and that dream came true in 2007. In addition to being a PGA Member, Mike is quite the accomplished player with four career holes in ones. Mike’s previous career experiences have been at The Gallery Golf Club (AZ), Southview Country Club (MN), and North Oaks Golf Club (MN). Mike’s teaching philosophy is FUN – Fundamentals, Understanding and Nurturing! Mike strongly believes that the most important part of his role at SaddleBrooke TWO is building relationships with the residents and enriching their lives through golf.

When away from MountainView and The Preserve, Mike enjoys playing golf, watching his favorite teams, volunteering for the Tucson Roadrunner Hockey Club, and spending time with his son, Jacob. Jacob just started asking to play golf as well!!
