Lakeview Golf Resort - Lakeview Course

Our round yesterday was very enjoyable. When we made our reservation we were a twosome. After arriving at the course and getting checked in, we were paired up with another twosome, which is pretty normal at most courses. The only downside to it was a new golfer was one of the two other players, so pace was a little slower than normal. We all started somewhere though, right? Just beware that getting paired is a possibility.

The course was in excellent condition for the time of year. Fairways and greens were in good shape. The halfway house is closed at this point in the year, according to the staff at the onsite restaurant/sports bar, so if you're going to want a snack or drink during your round, take it with you. If you stop at Legends after your round, try the pimento cheese sandwich. It was excellent. It was a great end to a great day if golf at Lakeview!

SLOW SLOW ...Painfully slow..... Never coming back. The couple we were paired up with quit after 9 holes..... SLOW PLAY

We have been coming here for about 20 years...... We play this course a couple times a year..... Pace of play is slow... But this time it was torture... Waiting on the tee box, waiting in the fairway.... SLOW...SLOW ....SLOW... Our tee time was 1:30 pm, and we didn't get down until 6:50 pm.... The couple we were paired up with left after 9 holes.......We Really like it here but doubt we will return.

Everything about this great golf course is outstanding.

This resort seems to underrate the need for maintenance. Several of the fairways have bald patches or rough impinging on the fairway. At least three of the fairways have some sort of drainage issue. The greens are fast and well maintained. I play this course at least once or twice a year. I live locally and I prefer the Mountainview course over this one. It has more enjoyable vistas and is more consistent.

would have been a better experience if someone would take the time to blow the leaves of the greens. tee boxes were in bad shape as well

Granted its a mountain course but the side-hill lies and blind shots are not enjoyable. Its very difficult finding where your tee shot ended up. Not a course to play if you are looking to hit the long ball, driver will stay in the bag.

Sorry to say this course did not live up to our expectations. After all, it is located within a Resort setting. It has a great design, tough greens, and beautiful views. The course looked very tired and uncared for. Several of the tee boxes were bare dirt and not level. Some of the Ladies tee boxes were on the fairway. Lots of dry patches on the fairways. Just felt like this course has been neglected. Would have been upset if we had paid the full posted weekend rate. Got it at a cheap rate on GolfNow.

Could be a premier course but the funding for it has dwindled. Good greens - good fairways however the tee boxes leave something to be desired. Very challenging ! You get punished for bad shots. Watch out for the par 4 6th. If you get on the par 5 18th in 3 then you've really accomplished something. One of my favorite local courses, I just wish the price would reflect the condition of the course now in comparison to how nice it used to be.

Played on Labor Day. Course was extremely dry. Fairways were cracked from dryness. Off the fairway was all brown. Several leaves on course, so we had trouble finding balls. Golf course had narrow fairways. Stayed overnight. View of golf course/parking lot was view of parking lot and heads of golfers teeing off on first tee. Had a crab cake for dinner that was all filler. Waiters/waitress/bartender were understaffed. Bartender was serving drinks to customers outside. Outside Tiki bar was not open. Tiki torches were not lit. Overall bad experience. Only good thing was I paid reduced price through Golfnow.

It was just me and my wife on the course. My wife is a beginner, with some physical limitations, that required lots of attention.

There was no one in front of us, so the pace was at our discretion yet the 4 hour pace would satisfy most players.

The sand traps were the best I've ever played out of, not to soft nor too hard. Even my wife got out of each trap she was in.

The greens were in good shape, rolling true. They were faster then the local greens I generally play on but fair as far as reading them and making the putts.

As with most mountain course, the fairways quickly ventured into the trees if you were off line.

Hole number 7 is a par 5 straight down the hill that offers a great view, of Cheat Lake with the mountains (Cheat Mountains?) above it.

Finishing hole 18 is a long 600+ yard (from white tees) that has a slight dogleg in it but making it even harder is that the last shot is straight up the hill.

Overall, we enjoyed the day on this beautiful golf course.

The course was very nice and challengingand I have ran into three of your members and they were very helpful on the course..

The course was in decent shape. The rough swallows balls quickly and hides them well. Narrow fairways and multi-break greens give players of all skill levels a run for their money. The bunkers were well-groomed and a favorite destination for most of my shots, though takes were in short supply. I'll play it again, and it'll make me lose my religion again.

This course has been lauded as an exceptional course in WV... One that previously hosted PGA events. The key word here is PREVIOUSLY. The course has been poorly maintained, due to Lakeview management handcuffing their Pro financially. Pace of play is usually slow at this course; do not expect to see a ranger, much less one out on the course managing pace of play. We have frequently run into staff, college aged kids, goofing off on the course playing around on carts on the course. We never saw a beverage cart and the snack shop at the turn was closed at 5pm!

This course does have a few challenging holes. The fairways on 3 and 6 slope excessively R to L and are almost impossible to hold. Numbers 5 and 7 have massive decreases in elevation from tee to green; both are par 5 eagle holes; driving from these two tees make you feel like a bigger man! After 4-4.5 hours of play, you finish on a 602 yard UPHILL par 5 that'll make you thankful your round is over - great challenging hole! There are several bunkers on this course, but do not expect them to be raked by staff daily. Often, bunkers are as solid as cement. Commonly, you will find that people playing this course are too lazy and disrespectful to fill divots with the sand provided in each golf cart and often ball marks on greens are not repaired.

This course charges anywhere between $50-79 to play. NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS COURSE. ALWAYS BOOK THIS COURSE THROUGH ONLINE DISCOUNT GOLFING SITES. as rates are often $35 or less.

Overall, there is potential fr this to be a good course, management simply needs to put in the effort.

The course if very nice, challenging. It is much overpriced at $ 60.00 for the week day. The greens were in excellent condition but hardly a level spot to be found. The traps were huge and the sand too course. Fairways in relatively good condition if a bit hardpan. I complained about the number of ticks we had to pull off ourselves to the pro-shop and said they should have warned golfers to be on the look out. They were everywhere, on the greens, flags, carts, our shirts, pants, shoes, etc. The pro-shop person did not seem concerned, surprised. or care. Not good public relations. If it were not for the ticks, we would have had an relatively enjoyable round.

Great value, course in very good condition. The old folks tees were excellent and allowed for a round in just over 4 hours. It would have been quicker except for a small outing in front of us. Will definitely play again.

Absolutely beautiful course in excellent condition

horrendously SLOW play - 4 hr 20 min and thats after skipping 4 holes - at least the bunkers were full of golf ball sized stones and not raked (many still had wash areas though it hadn't rained in a few days - and they want $80 on weekends?

I played on a Tuesday afternoon with a friend. We had beautiful weather, and the course was in great condition for the end of April. I would certainly play again. The course is long, and that took some getting used to, but it was fun and challenging, and flatter than most other courses in the area, which was nice to see.

There was no effort to remove fallen leaves. Short staffed. It should be better during summer months. Other course in the area have ground crews working to maintain the course.
