Longview Golf Course

Beautiful scenery.new ownership had course headed in right direction

The greens were in good shape but slow. The fairways were in terrible shape. All of the water was completely covered with alga and the smell was terrible. Too bad because this track has potential to be a fun course to play.

I love playing on this course. I drive 20 mins just to play on it, rather than staying in town to play on one.

Great shape greens have some bad spots on them. Was a tad shaggy and slow for what I'm used to there. Im sure all the rain has a lot to do with it. Great time on a great course

Even thought it needs some TLC I like it. The back nine is long and straight with some tough holes. With it being so dry the roll or kick is quite good.

The layout is nice. Overall it is a shorter course, but still challenging enough for the amateur/weekend golfer. The fairways need a lot of help as do several of the greens. Hole signs were not up identifying the teeing ground for each hole. Nice staff, though...and helpful.

I was surprised at the poor conditions of the fairways given the amount of rain we've had this summer. Bare spots and crab grass in spots

Course was a cow pasture. Very disappointed in course maintenance. Staff needs to keep the grass in check.

Some greens need attention, some fairways are rough.

The owner/operator of this course died a year or so ago. The heir evidently lost his interest in bankruptcy. It was purchased by a higher-end course there in Georgetown and they are slowly making improvements. Presently, the fairways are badly burned, but the rough is neatly mowed. The greens are fast, but have some damage, while the tees are hard. Distances are marked only on the cart paths. The prices are high for the condition of the course. Food and beverage service seem to be nearly nonexistent.

Tee time @ 7:00 but staff didn't show until 7:20. Staff didn't even apologize. Crabgrass was everywhere!

The day we went I took my seventeen hear old son for a day of father son golf, bonding. We had a seven thirty tee time and someone finally showed up around seven twenty . As we proceeded to play the front nine, we were asked to skip the sixth hole, as the were having irrigation problems around the green and the sprinklers were stuck on. As we started the back nine, a grounds person showed up on the tenth tee box and asked us how long it would take us, as he had water on on the backside and he wanted to turn it off before we arrived. We proceeded to play ten, then eleven a par five. As we come upon the eleventh green, we notice water on and the green flooded with water standing. We skip that green and try to play twelve, only for the same problem. Aggrivated, we go to the clubhouse to ask for rain checks only to be greeted by rudeness. I've played here before, spent money at the range, not again..... Only time I've ever encountered such rudeness. I told my son to keep his rain check and I gave mine back, as at that point I really didn't care to come back. Good luck at Longview....

Overall not bad for the money. Would play again if opportunity arose.

They have some neat hole layouts here but the fairways could use some attention. Greens looked like they were beat up but rolled great and were sneaky fast. All in all a fun course to play and not to bad on the wallet.

The first nine holes...not bad. The back nine gets really challenging. If you don't like to hit over water, this is not the course for you.

My son, my nephew and I played for $54. This included 2 carts. You just cannot beat that price. The front nine is run of the mill. The back nine is much better. The lake holes are very fun. We will definitely go back.

Not a busy day at the course. Was freshly mowed and in great shape. Drove 45 mins to play here, because of the price and the shape of the course.

I read a few reviews that stated the conditions here have been rough. But whatever problem they may have been having, is no longer an issue. The course was very green, lush and healthy. Nicely mowed defined fairways and the rough was down and definitely playable. A couple tee boxes were rough and the bunkers could use some more regular maintenance. But overall the course is in really good shape. The new ownership also owns an upscale public course across town that receives many accolades. In my eyes, that's a great sign for Longview. It will hopefully only get better. At the turn they had hotdogs, bbq sandwiches, and bratwursts; all fine and sufficient for a public course. I was told that the cook had left and that's why the "full service" restaurant was closed at the time. Doesn't hurt to ask questions, because most of the time the answers you get make sense. If this course was as brutal as some have stated a few weeks ago; BRAVO to the greens crew and their Super because it turned around quickly. I'd like to see them finish the clubhouse/patio. I believe the old owners were in the middle of a remodel and there's some spots without siding. Bit of an eye sore now but could be wonderful overlooking the 18th hole. They could have an excellent grass tee range as well. Just needs some yardage signs or flags. I cant wait to return to see the progress!

The course was in good shape when I played, the rough included. However, the rough was so thick that it swallowed any thing that touched it.

I lost 12 balls, that's right, TWELVE balls when I played Longview. 3 were certainly my fault (2 in the drink and 1 in the woods) but the other 9 were no more than 20 feet off the fairway but it was just nearly impossible to find anything in that rough.

Losing balls besides, the course was fun, was in good shape and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would play the course again.

Plays well, with a tough couple of water holes for a moderate golfer.
