Lakeview Golf Resort - Mountainview Course

No Complaints in this Challinging time of the Wuhan Virus. The Traps or former Grass Mud areas take away from a Very Nice Tee, Fairway, Green Experience! Overall an Enjoyable Day thou!!!!!

The staff has been super and ground crew has done a great job trying to clean up limbs from high winds last week. I like to walk, so staff let me go out early ahead of the foursome. first 6 holes are mostly up hill but after that it starts to flatten out. Greens in great shape, fairways had some rough spots mostly from folks not fixing their divots. They practiced safe procedures for dealing with customers.

Felt very safe from Rona from the start!! Pace of play was great and it was crowded. Staff was very friendly and never once felt unsafe! Played 18 holes in 4 hrs which was great! Course in very decent shape!!

The course was challenging and interesting, just not taken care of the way it should be. The fairways were fine, but Sand traps are uncared for - not raked or even weeded in some instances. No distance markets. There were 150 markers, but all were lying on the ground. Greens were in decent shape, except for one. The carts need to be wiped down before each use. They were not. Many were muddy and many ran poorly. The girl in the club house was great - cheerful, helpful, We saw no other staff in the clubhouse. We were just glad to get in some golf. All PA course are closed.

This could be a nice course and could certainly be a great value. It currently has a few major issues, though, and I hope the new ownership will address them:

(1) There are a couple of really good staff members, especially a young guy who is very attentive with carts, etc., but there are at least a couple of older staff members who pay almost no attention to customers and are slow as molasses. When they are working together, they will converse with each other for ten minutes before even acknowledging that a customer has entered the clubhouse, and when they do finally say hello, they aren't overly pleasant. I hate to bring it up, but I've experienced it on multiple occasions. There have also been times when no staff were in the clubhouse for extended periods.

(2) The computer/internet reservation and payment system needs to be fixed. Over the last two seasons, it was not working properly during more than half the rounds that I played. Either it was insanely slow or not working at all.

(3) As many others have mentioned, the bunkers are a disaster. They are usually rock hard and half-filled with water. If they are not going to be maintained, they should be PROPERLY filled in.

(4) There are an awful lot of rocky/hard-pan areas on some holes that aren't design features.

(5) The rough is often allowed to get way out of hand, which is especially problematic on the several holes with severe cross slopes. I imagine it's difficult to mow those slopes when it's at all wet, but at times it makes for a course that is more near-impossible and extremely frustrating than difficult but enjoyable. This is especially true give than one can hit the right side of several fairways on the fly and still end up in the rough to the left of those fairways.

(6) Trying to putt on the 12th green is just kind of ridiculous.

(7) Some maintenance staff pay no attention to players, and even occasionally blare loud music when working on holes that people are teeing off on. This seems like a simple issue of training. I think these are hard working folks who just haven't been shown how to act on a golf course.

(8) Lakeview needs to more clearly distinguish between the Lakeview Course and the Mountainview Course online. The main Google Map entry for Mountainview places it at the Lakeview course, and it's obviously nowhere near there. The address that comes up for Mountainview is usually 150 Lakeview Drive or 1 Lakeview Drive, depending on the website, whereas the Mountainview clubhouse is actually at (roughly) 4001 Greystone Drive, which is over two miles from there. This makes things really difficult for people playing Mountainview for the first time and for trying to meet up with people who haven't played Mountainview before.

(9) There are some major drainage problems on the first hole, but I do not think that's an easy fix at all and don't really blame the operators.

This course in its prime was one most beautiful courses around. Most of the bunkers are so filled with grass and weeds, they are unplayable. The fairways are ok, but there are a lot of areas that are very wet. I have seen worse greens, but not many for any course over $30 a round. A fair price might be $15 for 18 with cart.

Having played this Course, several years ago, I was disappointed to see how it had gone downhill. Let me say that the staff were friendly and accommodating , but the Course maintenance has suffered. The cart paths were a series of broken and pot-holed asphalt, the fairways had a patchwork look of repair attempts and the tee boxes were a mess. Fortunately, the $23 fee was appropriate, but it was still a disappointment. To see how it has deteriorated.

I think this course has a lot of really well designed holes. However, the bunkers are in poor shape. Good value course for about $30. The greens in my opinion are too fast for the course...had some hole locations where balls would roll off the green when they should’ve stopped within a few feet of hole.

This course has so much potential to be great. Needs alot of TLC

Hills and fast greens makes it challenging. Greens and fairways in good shape. In the process of filling in bunkers with grass.

Nice layout. Fun to play. Course was in very good shape. They are working on the sand traps. The sprinklers did not shut off while I played between 7-10. Greens were very wet from over watering.

I understand that if you’re not going to take care of the bunkers it leaves the course wanting but this course is just doing away with all of them. I remember when this was a very nice course really not anymore

The Course at the resort is great but the Mountain View course is like the bad little brother...Nice layout...Beautiful Homes, nice staff cannot make up for unfinished sand bunkers uncut rough that is too high for this type of course compared to others in the area..with some attention could be a nice track..

Course was in great shape. Sand bunkers are always the problem. Keep it out of them. Everything else beautiful. Not Crowded and a beautiful day. Very good value.

Lakeview Resort has comfortable lodging, many amenities and two courses. We booked a hot deal at the Mountainview course which is definitely set in the mountains. Course was in good condition though greens were slow as expected for such a course. Some challenging shots, a few blind ones but generally very fair for a mountain course.

The course itself is in great shape. The sand traps are crap but they have a plan to remove them to make grass bunkers. The cart paths resemble the roads of WV... pot holes everywhere!
