Lakeview Golf Resort - Mountainview 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.

In all honesty, you can't beat the deal that my wife and I had on Sunday. We drove down to the Golftoberfest at Lakeview Resort in Morgantown, WV on a beautiful autumn afternoon. The forecast was for showers, but we never had any. Other than losing balls in the rough and woods because of falling leaves (it is autumn, after all), the course was very well maintained. Our only real problem was the threesome of older gentlemen that we were following. Either they didn't have a clue about golf course etiquette, or they just didn't care. They played "golf by committee," where they all went to the ball being played, rather than getting ready to hit the next shot. By the end of the round, there were well over two holes between them and the group in front of them. We waited on almost every shot and our round took about 5 hours. The only reason that I bring this up is that Lakeview does not employ rangers......something they should consider.
But if you're in the neighborhood, you'll get a round of golf on a really nice course, a bowl of chili, any sandwich off of the menu and a glass of beer for just $39.95.

The course was in good condition. Very fast greens. Lots of blind shots.

There does not appear to be much maintenance going on. Considering that, the course is in good shape.

It is not worth the full price of $80. We played with a GolfNow coupon and that made it worthwhile.

Course was rock hard, greens and bunkers need work, took over 5 hours to play 18, not good for the price

I paid for 18 holes with a hot deal price of 13 bucks via my mobile device. Unfortunately for some reason my confirmation didn't show how many holes I paid for and was only allowed to play nine after paying for 18.

Played while visiting son at WVU. The cheaper of the two at Lakeview. Challenging elevation changes. Good layout with only 2-3 holes that are side by side. Course knowledge will definitely help for next time, and I will be back. The rough is brutal. Lost at least 3 balls no more than 2 feet off the fairway. And if you do find your ball good luck advancing it more than 20 yards. Didn't know if that was on purpose or simply a lack of maintenance. Cart paths or rough and make you feel like you are in a Hummer in Afghanistan. I almost lost my bag on one of the bumps so be careful.

This course will offer low scores if you play conservatively and stay in the fairway. I would stack this course even with "The Pines", "Tygart Lake" and "Preston County CC".

carts were terrible-course was wet and hilly-many blind shots

Spectacular views on each hole, fairways and greens were well manicured. Secondary cuts were a little high with some leaf issues, but then it is fall and the course is scheduled to close for the winter at the end of October. Well worth the price and the ride through Golf now.
