Nice layout, good value, where is the grounds crew.

Course is nice and the crew friendly and for the money it's a good place to play. Can be busy, but generally the pace of play is fast.

My problem with this course is they spend very little to maintain. It could be a really nice course if they had the money (I assume) to keep it up. Fairways are dry as a bone, greens seem like they're cut once a week, the pins don't move daily and I never see crew working on anything. Surprisingly the place holds up, but it could be better.

I will continue to play as I do like the staff and the layout and have come to expect what the course is.

Pace of play, but incredibly friendly staff.

So I’m a walker and I was under 2 hrs to the 12 tee box.... Where I waited 15 minutes for a guy standing on the tee box with a ball teed up and a driver in his hand to finish a work call and hit the ball.

Then another 10 minutes for him to chase his ball up the fairway to get on the par 4 in 4 shots. Then for him to spend 3-5 minutes each reading each of his 4 putts.

I got to the 13th tee and the same gentlemen of the twosome in front of me had ridden in the cart to his partners ball 200 yards away. Then walked back 100 yards to get the yardage reading for his ball... Then he walked back to the cart for a club...

I just turned around and went home.

No marshall, and they seemed put out that I was obviously waiting for them so I could play. Odd it never occurred to them to just wave me and the several groups behind me to play through.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. For further resolution in this matter, please reach out to our team in the pro shop. Thank you for playing Ocean View Municipal Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Mhh with some sand

The fairways where fine but the tee boxes on the par threes where beat up. Also they had just sanded the greens with excessive amounts of sand felt like I was putting in a sand trap. Because of covid there was a problem with cleaning carts between players causing major back ups. It felt like locals got first dibs on carts. the wait line and tee times went out the window.

Unfriendly

Price was low enough to make it worthwhile. Fairway are full of dead areas. Bunkers are unplayable. Maintenance staff is argumentative as well as the manager. Very unfriendly course.

Fun Course

The course was packed because of the unexpected warm weather, but the pace of play was still good and finished in 4 hours. Greens were in good condition and it was only $13 on a hot deal.

Pleased with Greens

The greens were very consistent from hole to hole. Many bunkers are in below average condition. Pace of play was 4 hours for 18 holes.

Greens are in great shape. Fairways have too many bare spots the should be GUR. Bunkers are terrible. These problems are nothing new.

Over One Hundred Years of Playing Experience

Between the four players who played we have playing experience of over 100 years. We have played great courses and municipal courses.

Such was the quality of service, the course conditions and the pace of play, we played one hole and left the course and drove to another course. We have never left a poor review but this deserved it.
