Lakeview Golf Resort - Mountainview Course

The course in a tough one. Do not go off the fairway. Your ball will be gone. The ruff is cut to the length that hides your ball every time. I will say the course layout is interesting. Big hills that make for neat tee offs. Be prepared to lose a kidney. The cart paths are so bad I would compare them to bankrupt third world city's roads. The staff was friendly if not unfounded pretentious. They seem to impressed with the course which makes me wonder if the have ever seen a nice one. Who would spend the money for a membership here. Not this guy.

The sand in the bunkers was almost nonexistent, and there could stand to be some coolers of water available. Otherwise a nice Sunday spent golfing.

I would play this course again very nice to bad if you think my review is to short

Nice course, would play again. Beautiful scenery to enjoy during your round

Seventeen of the holes on this course are challenging but playable. However, holes 9 and 18 are along a steep hillside and it is virtually impossible to hit a shot that will stay up in or even near the fairway. Balls are hard to locate as they usually are nowhere close to where they initially land and the grass in the rough is tall.

The course is tucked away in a very nice gated community. The landscape is prime with a beautiful over look of the cheat river. The greens are challenging always keep you on your toes. The lay out of the coruse is fun as well. Over all this is my favorite coruse in the Morgantown area.

Cons-
No yardage markers any where on course
No drinking water on course
All ball washers were dry
Greens were punched and all the dirt from the punching was just dumped all over the course

Pros
Inexpensive green fee

This course is in pretty good shape for being so early in the season and with all the rain we had the week prior. They recently aerated and sanded the greens when I went so that threw off my putting a bit, but all things considered this is a pretty good spot

Our first time playing Lakeview resort and we selected the Lakeview course through GolfNow's hot deals. Tee times were spaced 10 minutes apart, but we still landed up waiting a couple minutes on a few holes, due to fall leaves and difficulty finding your ball if you stray off the fairways. Fairways and greens were in very good shape. The front nine is challenging with narrow fairways and several sand traps surrounding the greens. The back nine is more open. We had a very enjoyable round with absolutely beautiful scenery. It's a shame the facilities on the course were not replenished with soap and the express restaurant at the turn was closed even though the course was fairly busy. Will definitely return next year and try the Mountain view course!

Very nice shape. treated very well. would play again

Course was fun, hard, aesthetically pleasing. Not as well maintained as lakeview, but better views and variety of holes. Can't beat the value here thru GN. Will definitely be coming back.

I used every Club in my bag--didn't see 150 yard markers, and afte askibng was told they were suppose to be the white/black poles stuck in Fairways, which I thought were for directions on shots, some of which are blind--the poles are not @ 150 yards., either, I was also told---tees, fairways, and greens were cut very shot, and were very green--had to watch where shots might take a side bounce, due to topography

15 years ago this course was a gem, not to be missed if in the area. Not sure what has happened but the overall condition of the course has fallen dramatically. Unfortunately, the quality of the staff and their attitudes appear to have fallen along with the course. There are much better courses and far better values in the area. Skip it and hope for a rebound someday.

The course is a well maintained, visually impressive course. Very challenging layout with plenty of twists and turns. The staff was ok, but not very outgoing, except for one young man. He tried his best to correct a very bad situation with an eightsome in front of us. They were playing a personal scramble, and moved as two foursome from the tee, but not anywhere else. This create long delays for us. We played the first 3 holes before we encountered them, and then followed on 4-6, before returning to no. 4 to tried and put space between us. We played 4-9, and ran up on them again. The young man I mentioned tried to get them to move, or step aside with little success. Finally, after the 11th hole they stepped aside, and we skipped that hole. Once clear, our group completed the remaining holes in 1 1/2 hours. After driving four hours to play this course, I was a little more than frustrated. That is why I waited until the 1st of September to write my review. We also encountered issues with a grounds crew member that decided to mow the par 3 while we were teeing off over his head. If you plan on visiting this course, I suggest that you plan on six hours for the round.

This course is poorly designed. Too close to backyards all around the course, OB stakes 5 yards from fairway. Very unfair. Greens had nice pace but did not hold at all. My biggest pet peeve about this course is no one fixed their ball marks and there were these HUGE bees that were drilling holes in the green, pretty much ruining some holes greens. More course maitenence is needed for sure.

It was my first time to west virginia to golf. I was very eager to play one of the LakeView courses as I had heard nothing but good reviews of both of them. I decided to play the Mountainview course as it was a couple bucks cheaper and my time was limited.

Pros: Friendly Staff

Cons: Almost all greens were torn apart by these giant bee's.
Bunkers were cement with a thin layer of rocky sand.

Great little layout. Greens rolled true with good pace. Played after several days of storms but course was in great shape.

Very good course. I would definitely play again. Staff was great.

Really hard course especially for playing for the first time!

We have visited this resort since 1988; group of 12-24, been there 16 of the last 28 years. We have been to many great resorts and I can easily say this has been the best overall value. I am comparing this Harbortowne, Myrtle, Ocean City, MD, etc. People there take very good care of groups and I can say they all deserve the good tips from our guys. The key is the two courses: Mountain and Lake are really well kept (like a good private club) and offer a real challenge yet are two very different layouts.... greens have been awesome... fast! Rooms, food and service are good to great...The views and terrain changes are substantial...like very few places. I would go every year but as we get older, we want to try new venues.... but we will be back.
