Country View Golf Club

As my 1st time going there staff was super friendly, tees and greens were very open and clean , well kept. Front 9 allows open space while back 9 provides structured play , with a very appealing layout. Will most definitely play there again

Course has been watered often through out the season as the greens are prestine...most of the fairways just amazing...and here is the 'pickle'...they have drainage/swales all but hidden in and around landing areas for drives and balls go to where they can be found...so if you play, just be aware...front 9 just fun, back 9 tests ones courage and self confidence...

To 'solve the pickles'..perhaps the staff can put an sign or some source to alert tee box where the drainage gullies are...and perhaps a 150 yd marker in the middle of ALL relevant fairways, and landing areas do differ

Side bar...you may find weak/if any signals for your phone ...depends on the day...

Well worth the hunt to get to it...curvey road abound...just go slow and get ready to have some good golf...

Oh, do be aware, the cart paths may test your back, best to ride the hump in the middle of the cart path with a set on the grass...so you are riding over most of the bumps

The combination of price , conditions, layout , and staff was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended, you'll have a great time, guaranteed.

In great condition. Front 9 vs Back 9 is like two different courses. Front wide open and straight forward. Back much more narrow and challenging. Small but level greens. One of the best value courses around.

Country View is in great condition and provides very enjoyable round of golf. The fairway and greens are in great shape. We worth a visit.

Front 9 vs Back 9…easy, wide open whereas the Back 9 lulls you on the 10th…as you move to 11th watch for the mini swales on the right side…the TWELFTH hole will, if you have not played here, will be MEMORABLE!! And worth the trip into the course with winding roads as the course is in excellent shape ( they water )…greens are fast and yes the fairways will extend your drives

Play the course!

Dont be surprised if you lose your link to your cell phone… remember you’re right and left turns going in

Well worth the drive

Booked a Sat. tee time and didn’t know what to expect. What I got was a warm welcome upon arrival and was told I could use the practice putting green and chip shots until my tee time. From the tee boxes to the greens were in great shape. A couple of new trees were planted earlier in the year and will eventually make this a tougher challenge. Not a particularly hard course but enough to challenge you. With a Hot deal from Golf Now, I’d say this place is an exceptional value.

First time playing this course since 2023 and was so impressed with improved tee boxes, fairways, and especially the greens. Every green was in pristine condition and rolled true. The staff was friendly and our cart clean. Country View is a great bang for the buck.

It took us 2hrs and 45 minutes to play 9 holes. The course was overcrowded.

It was in great shape - fairways and green were wonderful. Only observation was there was a lot of people hitting into others fairways, making it somewhat unnerving

Upon arriving at golf course 8 golf carts on hole number 1 they have no management they have no ranger THEY HAVE NO RANGER NOBODY TO MAKE SURE PLAY KEEPS FLOWING conditions were okay terrible staffing they have no help so the golf course is just a big free-for-all like I said eight golf carts on the first hole when you got to the second hole it was the same thing etc they overbook and they don't care how many people are on the golf course example hole number 6 four groups of people waiting on the tee box because they have NO ORGANIZATION..

I liked playing Country View Golf Course today, although the experience would have been better had play not been so unnecessarily slow: it seemed like 3-5 minute wait times on every tee of the back nine, and not all that great on the front, either. The staff here is friendly and the course is pleasantly walkable, although most players were in carts (some of them, perhaps, because of the humid weather). The layout, though it is not flashy or difficult, proved to be carefully routed with four or five surprisingly tough golf holes.

Course Strengths:

Some strengths of Country View include some unpredictable variations in greenside bunkering, good use of cross hazards on a pair of back-nine holes, and a couple of longer par-3s, also on the back–which will require excellent tee shots for GIRs. One other impressive greenside trait are some big falloffs behind the greens; these appear almost throughout the front nine. The sixth hole, an intriguing and easily reachable par-5, doubles down on its penalties when you miss the green long; not only is there a steep falloff behind the green, but OOB awaits not far behind it. This makes for an out-of-the-ordinary hole with some real risk/ reward for those going for the green in two. Holes four and nine have greens that can be tricky to hold even with a short iron, as they slope away from the player. The back nine is considerably tougher than the front, with a couple of holes (most notably 14 and 16) that favor a draw off the tee. The last four holes–none of them easy–provide a stimulating finish.

Aesthetics:

I was impressed with the general look of this course, and even though the first three holes looked a bit mundane, the look of the holes rapidly improved from there. Country View’s back nine, especially, is more classic New England, but the front nine also has its moments. Three of the green sites stand out: the sixth, which is set down in a dell; the ninth, with its beautiful backdrop of majestic trees; and the twelfth, with its green set invitingly upon a large knoll.

The main weakness of this layout are a few too many tame holes on the front: short par-4s that only require a driver (because they are so open) and a short iron. To boot, the front side par-3s are okay but also a bit bland. This contributes largely to the easy scratch versus par rating of 64.8 from the white tees (sloping at a low 110). Green design is decent but not elaborate, and some of the greens do tilt significantly. Meadow-like and quite open, the front side’s wide landing zones seem wider still from broad strips of rough alongside them. The front’s general lack of complication also allows for lower scoring; the positive side is that you’ll have some real birdie opportunities on the shorter par-4s.

Best Hole:

Starting as a great driving hole to a wide expanse of fairway, the twelfth narrows down to target golf on the second shot, where you may either try to fly the large and watery cross-hazard or choose to lay up–as close as you dare–in front of it. The green, set tantalizingly upon a large knoll, lies some 50 yards beyond the other side of the hazard.

The fourteenth also deserves mention as an excellent short and strategic hole; it favors a draw off the tee.

Hardest hole:

The fifteenth, creatively nicknamed “Gorilla’s Alley,” may indeed swat you around. With a pond crossing the fairway 250 yards from the blue tees and other hazards looming around it, target golf is again brought into play, and perhaps even more so on the approach, where shots that fall short by ten yards or more short of the green will require difficult and steep uphill pitches to make up-and-downs.

Conditions:

Greens stood out: they were in very good condition, running smoothly and of medium speed. Greenside areas, especially fringes, were good. Tees were a bit below average, and fairways underwhelming; they have too many patchy, rough spots. Roughs were fair–and poor in places.

Some Conclusions:

This is a pleasant and well-isolated course in a pretty setting, which supplies a nice way to enjoy nature. Everyone I met was friendly–in the clubhouse or outside of it–and the gentleman behind the counter was welcoming and easy-going. The clubhouse itself is respectable, yet there is no driving range for a pre-round warmup.

As for the layout, the front nine is basically passable, in my opinion–mainly because it is simply too straightforward–while the back nine’s holes carry more weight: lower handicap players should find more serious challenges here. Intermediate and developing players should find this course’s front side, especially, a match for their skills.

The greens were in perfect condition from the first hole to the 18. Very surprised for the green fees which my group paid. The pace were slightly slow in the front nine but we ended up playing for 4.5 hours on a busy Saturday. That's perfect!

Country View is just not a very good track. Poor fairways, with long grass, weeds and clover. Greens were very slow. Bunkers were either small ponds or packed-cement, terrible. Everything is old and tired looking. The price is low but you don’t get much for your money. I do not recommend this course at all.
