It’s good and going to be better

Drought conditions really hurt the greens last season. They are starting to fill back in and I’m gonna guess in a month the conditions (other than the cart paths, but seriously just drive around the potholes) are gonna be excellent. Fairways and tees nice

Old Mountain View What Happened To You

Many years ago I used to play here a few times a year. I always preferred it to Lakeview because it was whiter and still in good condition. Now, it’s just a poorly maintained course that is cheap to play that is frequented by groups who play slowly. A few of the greens are simply awful. Others are fine. A few of the cart paths are as bad as the roads in Morgantown. Treacherous potholes. There is value here if you get a cheap rate and a time that is not busy. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the summer league sounds like fun.

Disappointing

The layout for this course is mediocre. I like the front nine okay. The back nine leaves something to be desired. There are 4 holes on the back nine that are challenging and made more difficult because they are poorly maintained. The traps on the course have no sand and the rough is difficult. The maintenance of the cart paths is lacking. They do have GPS in the carts.

$20 is $20

More brown than green. Hit a good drive and it rolls into a mud puddle. But can’t complain about a $20 green fee.

You get what you pay for but staff is friendly

We enjoy golfing mountainview because it's cheap for last minute tee times. But tee boxes are never maintained, greens were barely maintained and the geese issue is outrageous. The cart paths need repair so bad that with the recent rain the geese were drinking and bathing in the crater potholes along the cart paths.
The kids at the front desk are nice but that's the most positive part. $15 for 18 on some days we take the bad with the semi bad.

I'm terrible shape

Course looks like no one has worked on it in years. The back 9 didn't have pins or cups on ANY of the greens.

Keeps getting worse

Many Greens and Tee boxes are mostly dead. Fairways are sparse. Digging wasps are ruining greens that aren't dead. Flags won't stay in the holes due to the wasp infestation so many are just laying on the greens. Some of the cart paths are hazardous . It's time to pull the plug on this place or put some money in it. We won't be back

Worst course ever

Tee boxes are destroyed. Chunks and holes on the greens.. Sand traps have minimal sand. Mostly just a dusting on a tarp. Poor drainage. Ball would sink in the fairway and green. Greens are very patchy .

Mountainview 8/6/24

Granted that it has been very dry, the course conditions were very poor. Greens have large areas without green grass and the fairways are primarily crab grass. Drives cannot be stopped in the sloped fairways.

Poorly maintained and Wasps!

Most of this course is in rough shape. Couple greens were unplayable due lots of very large digging wasps going in and out of the holes.

Horrific Conditions

Hadn’t played here in a couple years, and figured I would give it a shot. Boy, did I regret that. The course was more brown than green (some is understandable because of how hot and dry it has been but the other 5 courses I have played this summer weren’t nearly this bad, the only green that didn’t have any brown on it was the practice green). Also, there were several (at least 4-5) greens that were completely covered in bees and they had active nests in the green and sometimes inside the hole itself. The dirt mounds from the bees nest entrances were the least of the worries when trying to putt. My playing partner and I elected to pick up and not even attempt to putt on these holes because of the amount of bees present. Considered requesting a refund and leaving, but had already traveled there and was hoping the course would improve on the later holes, but it only got worse. I would not play here for free, let alone pay what they charge to play. They obviously have little to no maintenance going on outside of an occasional mowing. Will not be playing here again.
