Lakeview Golf Resort - Mountainview Course

For 22$, its worth it just to get outside and hit some balls around.

Course overall was nice…. Grass was a little longer than normal everywhere. Especially around the tee boxes and greens. The worst part of the whole experience was the bathrooms and upkeep on trash…. Every can was full around the clubhouse even though the course was not busy and the bathrooms looked like a high school science project. I almost didn’t want to use them. They were disgusting.

Over the years Imhave played this course numerous times, did not play there through covid, when we played recently the course was a HOT MESS!

Tee boxes needed repaired, fairways used to be very well kept, plush and no issues with crab grass , weeds etc.

Now when we played the fairways were nothing but crab grass and other non golf weeds, totally looking like a cow pasture.

The greens were diseased, bald spots and poorly maintained.

This course needs a major overhaul to get it back to a suitable playing condition.

The golf carts were good but the GPS didn’t work on one of our carts,

No rangers to keep the pace of play moving,

I’m going to think twice before playing here again until they improve conditions and overall playing experience.

It's hard to describe how poor the conditions are at this course, and it's absolutely ridiculous that someone from Lakeview/Mountainview responds to the reviews on here and says they will work to address the problems; they clearly don't have any interest in doing so. I've never played a course in worse shape, and I usually play rather inexpensive courses.

Greens are in awful shape with tons of bare spots and massive sand wasp holes. They did mow the rough at least a bit sometime before we went out this time. Instead of the most poorly maintained rough I have ever experienced (10+ inch-long weedy rough right off the so-called fairways), it was now down to about 6" in most places with "only" quite a lot of clumps of unraked grass clippings in most places instead of an insane amount of clumps of unraked grass clippings everywhere. Fairways are hit and miss... there is a good bit of crab grass in the best ones, and the worst ones are full of weeds and crabgrass and very poorly mown. There are literally big pieces of black plastic sticking up through the sand in all of the bunkers, most of which are completely unplayable.

The bright side; they've finally dropped the rates, presumably due to the deplorable condition of a once-nice course. That at least makes it a semi-feasible choice as a last resort when times aren't available anywhere else.

Course layout is great, nice views, open and challenging! However, I should have known this course was awful when I saw how dirty the carts were! the course conditions are absolutely terrible. You could not tell the difference between the rough and the fairway. The grass was not collected from last mowing. Greens and in terrible shape and have dead spots all over them. The bunkers had grass growing out of them. Crabgrass all over the greens. I planned to play 18-holes, stopped playing after hole 6 and went home! This is the first time I would rather leave a course rather than playing. Million dollar homes surrounding a course in the poor of a condition is not a good look! I will not play here ever again!

Course has been neglected for far too long. Needs a miracle and a lot of $$$ to revive it. Best thing they’ve done was drop midweek price to 20 bucks. At least then I could somewhat justify the 8 inch rough, no tee markers, crab grass fairways, and divot ridden greens. But hey at least they have new t-shirt merch in the pro shop!! What a joke lol

We played as a foursome so 2 carts with 2 people on each. Mine and my partner's cart died on the 7th hole, we called the pro-shop and they had no carts available to run out to us. We had to go in neutral and get pushed the last 2 holes. When we got done with the front and were making the turn, there still were no carts so we decided to leave and didn't even get to play the back. A normal municipal course running out of carts on a Saturday in August with perfect weather, understandable. A resort running out of carts doesn't make any sense to me. To top it all of they didn't even have water bottles for sale and their selection of "snacks" looked like the back of your grandmother's cabinet that she hasn't opened for 5 years.

Used to be a great spot. Downhill since. Need to put time back into maintenance.

I really don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said. I find it laughable when I read the responses from Lakeview management that they are in the process of fixing it up. These responses have been out there for a few years now and things just keep getting worse. I certainly don’t blame the employees as I think this is more an issue with ownership. I encourage you to go back and look at the reviews from 2018-prior. Mostly very favorable. However, since then it is simply a parade of disparaging reviews. Unfortunately, at this point the course looks to be well beyond repairs. I would imagine that play is significantly down. What a shame.

DO NOT PLAY HERE. GRASS NOT CUT GREENS IN BAD SHAPE OWNERS DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS COURSE AND THEY DONT CARE. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!

It used to be a great course but obviously the owners do not care about it anymore. It’s a shame another golf course is being neglected.

This course was in awful condition. It used to be a very beautiful course with some challenging holes and great scenery. The greens are burnt and patchy. The rough is awful! The grass needs to be cut. It is a shame you lose a ball when it goes off the fairway and it’s in the rough and you can’t find it cause the grass is a jungle. A group of us used to go there every year for 2 days and play both courses and it was one of the best kept courses in Morgantown. I will never go back I asked the girl in the pro shop about the owner and she told me he’s from India and they have been trying to reach him about maintaining the course. Said they haven’t heard from him. Obviously another great course destroyed by people who don’t care. DO NOT PLAY HERE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

The layout of the course seems to be a good course with good views but sadly everything that could go wrong with managing this course did. The tiny club house had no food and a small snack selection. One of our electric carts ran out of juice on 17. Every tee box and fairway was overgrown with GIANT clumps of crab grass and had clearly not been mowed in at least 2 weeks. Most bunkers had been left to be filled with grass and the few that weren’t were un playable. The greens were decimated. I imagine in its hay day this was a great course but now it’s not worth near the money they are charging.

They hadn't mowed in days. All the garbage cans were full. Tees and greens were terrible. They just want tour money and don't care at all about the course.

July 4th weekend and nothing is well kept. Rough is a hay field, fairway is subpar. These two courses are never well kept and the best place to go in Morgantown is Mountaineer which is supposed to be the budget course. Rip off for either mountain or lakeview. Go to mountaineer or Preston
