Beautiful views and friendly staff

A very nice course with scenic views. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

The reason I marked 1star for amenities was that the concession area was closed due to the season.

I plan on playing again.

Great course great views

This course is under-rated which is a good thing to keep the price down, but it's usually in perfect condition! The greens roll exceptionally true and the fairways and tee boxes are all well maintained. It's "open" but also makes you keep the ball in play and make good shots or your score will get out of hand quickly.

worth the drive

This course is enjoyable to play. The greens were airreated recently but it is that time of year. My biggest gripe is the bunkers, where is the sand. The bunkers were filled with dirt and not sand. Had a good time playing this course and will go back again.

Always a great day of golf

This course never disappoints. The course is great shape.

What sets this course apart from other nice courses is the way the staff treats you. Everyone is so polite. The clubhouse attendant, the starter, the ranger, both of the snack bar ladies, the beer cart girl, and the young man that puts away the carts was extremely nice and polite.

Conditions - It had a couple of wet spots from the inch of rain the night before. The starter told us that holes 1, 2, 17, and 18 were cartpath only, which is understandable. When my foursome was on the 11th tee, the ranger came around and told us that 17 and 18 were no longer cartpath only, which was very courteous of him.

Value - We got a hot deal from Golfnow and it was a little cheaper than the regular rate - not much cheaper. This course's rates are always very reasonable - much better than the more famous course down the road.

Pace of play was acceptable for a Sunday afternoon. The foursome in front of us had 1 guy tee off 4 times and took 6 practice swings and 17 waggles in between each one, so we didn't actually tee of at our tee time, but eventually he ran out of balls and their pace picked up.

I can't wait to play again!

Nice course for the money

Played on a warm afternoon. Course was not crowded, and we played in just over 3 1/2 hours. Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape, although a couple of tee boxes had some slope in them. Greens were a good pace, not too slow, although there are a lot of subtleties in reading them. Many fairway hazards to avoid from the tee - bunkers, some water, OB. Pay attention to yardage, you do not need to hit driver very often. Par 5s are short and reachable. The front 9 is much more open than the back. Clubhouse is a fantastic old Civil War era house. Grill had decent food, but no beer on tap.

Very Flat

The name, Mountain View, led us to believe that the course would be a typical mountain course but boy was this one flat. That made it pretty boring and not very challenging.

Very nice public course.

It rained most of the day. The course was very wet a few holes were cart path only. The staff was very accommodating. We had to take a little break at the 19th hole to wait out some of the heavier rain. All in all we had a very enjoyable day.

A good time

Traveling in the area with two friends, we played this course in the afternoon after visiting Gettysburg Battlefield in the morning. The layout and view are great, the back nine is a little more interesting than the front but both are in good shape. We were behind a slow fourthsome and asked the single behind us to join us. He was a pleasure to watch, a local high school junior who new the course, he helped our scores with his local knowledge and played the course at par. A wider selection of beers and food would have helped but the course was just fine

Great early shape

Tee to green was very good for this time of year. Course on back made you think on how you want to approach greens, some water comes into play. Bunkers were not touch as of this round but other courses in area are the same when it comes to the bunkers.
