Those are the Tempe Buttes, and the resort between/around them is relatively new--built in the 80's.
Interestingly, I wonder if those photos were taken in 1969 or 1970. There were licensing issues/problems with the players' union that led to many 1969 Topps cards using older photos, and maybe these were taken but not available for use that year. If not, they were taken that ill-fated Spring Training of 1970, before the team began the regular season as the Milwaukee Brewers. Kind of a curiosity either way.
