Fun Course; pricing and management could use some work

I played this course the other day with three friends and we had a great time. Course was in good shape, and the layout was unique and kept me guessing as a first time player of the course. My only issues with the course was the price, the starter, and this weird rule they have about carts. While the course was nice, I think $60 was a bit steep for what you get out there. Also, the course has a strange rule where they request all of the carts to be returned to clubhouse by 7:20pm, even though this time of year it stays light out until around 8:00. This just created problems for us (and i'm sure everyone else) when we were standing on the 13th tee and the starter asked us to drive the carts back to clubhouse and walk all the way back to the 13th tee box. The starter/ranger certainly could have been a bit nicer and less arrogant during this process as well. Not really sure why they would sell golfers 18 holes with a cart when they know you won't be able to finish the round with they cart you just paid for. Or why they wouldn't just let you return the cart when your round finishes... All in all, a fun course and a positive experience

Pace of Play

I would like to start by saying that I’m relatively new to golf, but have developed a sincere interest in the game. This was my first visit to Mountain View, so I was excited to play the course. I came with 2 friends who play often, and we were paired with a fourth who was a regular at the course. We played one hole, and were met by the ranger who informed us that we should pick up and move on. We were on the 1st hole! We complied and said we would play on pace - not sure why we were warned at that point already - but were then stopped again before the 4th hole and told to pickup and move to the next hole. At no point was the group behind us waiting to start, so we are all still confused as to why we were pushed twice before the 4th hole. No one in the group wanted to have any issues so we said we would just like to leave and get our $$ refunded. I am a 40+ year old man who took a day off to play golf and I wasn’t able to get 4 holes in. The ranger was not courteous in any way, and the manger seemed to not want to look into it. I have never had an experience this odd or distasteful, and it goes without saying that I will never return, nor recommend this course to anyone. I will not let this experience ruin my love for golf, 100% disappointed.

course design

The course was in good condition, the greens were smooth rolling but not too fast, but the design of the holes was boring overall. Limited fairway bunkers, and some similar hole designs stand out for me. One feature I did not like was holes that turn one direction with fairways that run with fairways that slope the other way.

Where's the sand?

The course is in nice shape, but not enough sand in the traps. The bases of the traps were hard pan, so it was difficult to get the ball out correctly. Really slow foursome in front of us, and the ranger apparently did not care.

Conditions were excellent except for the sand traps.

Beautiful, challenging course

Overall, a really great course that I hope to get back to soon. This course is mostly open but with plenty of challenges including slopes and hills throughout. It is also very well kept; the round I played was just after significant rain and the course was still in very good shape. I definitely recommend this as one of the better courses in Mercer County that I've experienced.

First Time

Have played the other Mercer courses, Mercer Oaks, and told by players there to try Mountain View. Finally got the day and tee time, and happy I made the ride to play. Easy walking course, was in good shape, lots of sloping fairways and side-hill 2nd shots, and quite a few downhill putts on the front 9. Would play again and recommend.

Nice course, except 1 thing

Beautiful course well laid out. Forgiving doglegs, great staff, but no portable toilets. Covid, or no Covid, they need toilets.

It’s too nice to not give us a choice when other course have them. Only an idiot doesn’t have hand sanitizer or nitrile gloves.

Nice Course

Course was in good shape and staff very friendly. Pace was good on front nine, but somehow on back nine a different foursome appeared on the tee box in front of us and the pace became slow? Finished in 4hr40min. Only saw the ranger on the front nine, so unable to find out what happened?? Had a great meal on the patio after. My only complaint is that we saw beverage cart on the front and assumed we would see the cart again on the back, but unfortunately we never did and it was really hot and could have used some water!! Might be good to advise golfers if no water on the back, so can get something at the turn??
