Longview Golf Course

Let me start off by saying this course was AWFUL. I've never played at a worse kept course. The tee boxes were all overgrown. If you hit your ball 5 yards off the fairway, its not even worth looking for your ball. I have never seen so many dandelions in all my life, plus the "short rough" completely engulfs any ball that even rolls into it. The clubhouse didn't open up the concessions, so our choice for food at the turn was a Snickers or a bag of Fritos. I will never play here again.

Appeared mowing was way behind schedule. Course needs mowing and general maintenance.

Longview has made some good strides in the last year. The fairways are growing in, and the staff/ownership is trying. Signs of neglect are everywhere, unfortunately. Tee boxes without a good lie...cart paths unpatched, bare areas in fairways, unmown rough areas...The cafe/snack bar staff is very good, the front desk "pro" was preoccupied and did not acknowledge our presence when we went in for a snack at the turn...We were told there was a shortage of willing workers, even though they were trying to hire..I can sure believe that!!...I did see an active mower, but he was cutting an area that does not come into play, when his time would have been much better put to use in some of the over grown rough areas. The greens were pretty good. They will hold a shot, and they putted true. I love this course design, and hope they bring it up to a much higher standard. I will be happy to play there again and see what progress they are making, as the layout is so good...

We were in town from Chicago and looking to play an early morning round. I found the course on Golf Now and the price seemed reasonable with a decent tee time. Before booking, I checked out the website to see what I was getting into and everything seemed to be great. From the looks of the website it was a beautiful course, so we decided to play. Upon arrival there were 5 cars in the lot (should have been a clue). We walked into the clubhouse (a doublewide with siding falling off) and paid our $32 ea for 18 + Cart. As we pulled up to a tee box (assuming it to be the 1st tee) it was no more than a dirt mound with a few small patches of "grass" . There was no indicator that this was the 1st tee box so we drove back to the clubhouse and asked where 1 tee was. He pointed me to the dirt mound we were at. I exclaimed that it was in terrible shape, his response..."the bermuda grass is a little rough right now". This was the closest I have come to getting back in the car. The course overall had some nice holes, but the manicuring was AWFUL. If this was kept up, it would be a decent little course (as long as the price didnt increase with it).

Played in February, with a great group of friends. We found the course in good shape, well taken care of and a friendly staff willing to take care of our needs. Will definitely be back throughout the year.

The course is well balanced with 10 par-4's, 4 par-5's and 4's par-3's. The water hazzards are placed strategically and the fairways are exceptional. No surprises on this course and the staff is very friendly. Their is a driving range however there were no distance markers, but also a very nice practice green for putting. I would recommend this course to any and all who fancy a relaxing game.

Looking at the pictures on the web shows these white sand bunkers and pristine fairways, what I found was a rude guy at the desk when we checked in and none they need better tee markers on the course could never find so just kinda pick your own spot. got stuck behind a foresome that honestly kept us out there an hour longer than we should have finally had to just give up a hole to get around, I did not enjoy this choice.

I have played this course several times this summer. Holes 5-8 are currently under repair due to reseeding. Otherwise, it is definitely a bang-for-your-buck course. However, it is vitally important you keep your drives and approaches accurate. Most fairways are closely tree-lined so if you stray from the fairways, you will be punished. Going long or left/right of the greens can end in high scores due to slopes and obstacles around many of the greens.

Once this course is fully repaired (holes 5-8), it will be even better but still a good challenge.

My wife and I played or tried to play. The fairways were worse than a dirt track at a race car convention. A fertilizer truck started spread fertilizer and the wind covered everything we owned.
