So this is mountain view golf course under new ownership. The new owners/ green keeper staff have done an excellent job on course renovation/maintenance.

Amenities

The new snack bar has 4 different beers on tap plus cans and full bar. Still have food and snacks.

Pro shop has all new towels and shirts great design and selection of gloves,balls,tees etc. Inside dining and patio is very nice.

Staff

Super friendly and courteous. Very approachable to talk to.

Course

Course was beautiful, new back nine layout is great. Fairways and ruff were greatly maintained. I will say only reason it didn’t get a 5 star is because the bunkers were hard and some had standing water in them. My Honest opinion, the gentlemen I talked to said they are on the list to make them better just haven’t gotten to the project yet.

Overall

You can’t beat the price for this semi challenging for $40/ cart included. Amazing Mountain View’s with wildlife all around.

Overall 5 stars and would recommend this course to anybody and everybody.

No where does it show the layout of the hole. Unless you have played it a few times you never know what’s lingering around the corner. The scorecard and even the hole designation sign. shows nothing but the hole number and par.

The tee designation is confusing. They are marked with red, white, blue and gray. I will sat at most corses across the USA the standard three are Red-Ladies, White-Men, Blue-Low Handicap. Some places add Gold for Seniors. What is very weird is Gray-Low Handicap, Blue-Men’s, White-Seniors, Red-Ladies. Must be a blue-gray thing for the civil war.

None of these are deal breakers just notes but otherwise it is a place worth going to.

Friendly staff, the course is better every time I go there. The staff is constantly making improvements. Great course !

The back 9 is laid out differently than previous years. Very well maintained. If using the app to book a tie, call the course afterwards to make sure it went through.

Booked through Golf Now, and when we arrived they didn't have any record of our reservation. Staff was very friendly and worked us in, as apparently the course will no longer be working with Golf Now. Pace of play was slow, as apparently when the course changed owners, they offered an amazing membership, and the course is always busy. It was still a beautiful day on the course, just wish it didn't take 4 1/2 hours to play.

After we were vaccinated for COVID we decided to take a road trip to Gettysburg from Maine. First visit. Checked for golf courses nearby and found Gettysburg National. What a great find. Course was fun and the price was right. Having beautiful weather also helped. A memorable experience.

Used GolfNow and had 1024 tee time. After 1 hour drive North and Arrived at Course to find out the synch between GN and Course does not work. They luckily had a tee time 30 minutes later. Paid for round and requested a bucket of balls for the inconvenience e and the young guy behind the counter refused to accommodate and wanted me to pay $10 for a bucket. I requested to speak to his boss and he said he was in the woods deer hunting. I still requested the phone number to call his boss and also requested my money back as I was no longer in the mood to play golf based on the drive in fog, frost delay and the fact they did not receive my tee time from GolfNow. I will be taking the processing fee up with GN as it obviously did not work.

The play was a little slow but you can blame COVID for backing everything up.

Upon our arrival, my expectations for this course turned to differently since I was there two years ago. The course looks as much as different with more bunkers added. The tee boxes, greens, and fairways are well maintained.

A pro shop employee was a kind enough to grant us a rain check for 9 holes. We look forward to come back to complete the course real soon.

This course is nice for an easy round on a flat course. Despite being relatively flat, the course remains interesting.

The guy who checked me in did give me attitude for using GolfNow instead of booking direct. I understand, but if he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t need to use the service. GolfNow is the only reason he made 50ea from my buddy and me. Enough with the attitude!

I've driven by before on my way to gettysburg. If I lived closer I would have signed up for a membership yesterday. Loved the place.
