Pleasantly pleased

Went out as a single with 3 friendly guys all 14-16 handicap, course was cart path only with all the rain we had which wasn’t a problem. Greens were slow due to all the rain but in great condition.

Nice layout and club house

First time playing this course and it had some really pretty holes with good lay outs. Greens were well maintained. Only complaint would be the bunkers, very little sand, but that is expected with a municipal course. Club house was great. Just wished they removed some shrubs so you had a clean view to 18 green. Very enjoyable round.

A Good Challenge

It's been 20+ years since I played it last and it is so much better. Good conditions throughout. It looks like William and David Gordon had something to do with this course. Just could have used a ranger.

Solid but not great

Chose a highly rated course for an early weekend round and drove a long way to play MV for the first time. Staff was good, rangers out keeping the pace of play but the course conditions dissapointed me somewhat, played a lot of courses through golf now with lower ratings which were better and cheaper. On the other hand this course wasn’t a hackers paradise and maybe once the conditions improve throughout the season I’ll be back

nice course but overpriced

This course is one of four run by Mercer Country. Mercer East and West are much nicer courses but they are all priced the same.....thus my comment about Mountain View being overpriced. In the past it was priced under these two but this year the prices were made uniform among the courses. It is the only course in the area that adds on an extra $2 for an "advanced booking fee", which is ridiculous. If you are a local Mercer resident, it's a different story but if you are a non-county resident, there are numerous better courses in the area that are priced less than Mountainview.

Thank you for the feedback. Mountain View has been priced the same Mercer Oaks for three years now. For the future, if you book through Golf Now, non-Mercer County Golfers receive great rates for un-booked times 48 hours in advance. Only $5.00 more than a resident would pay. We hope you'll return again in the future!

Overrated

I saw all the good reviews and decided to play here last month, I booked it thru golf now, pro shop staff was very friendly however the starter wasn't as friendly. We got backed up at the par 3 fourth hole , it was dreadful from that point on. I talked to the ranger about the pace of play and he went on to say oh normally it's not like this. I gave it a try again this past Sunday, It was worse than my last experience, I was told that they had a first tee outing earlier therefore course got backed up,. I don't think I'll be playing this course again.

Great course

Overall great course. The staff was accommodated us showing up a little early. They weren’t very pleasant though. The course was in perfect condition. Overall a great day. Pace of play slowed down a lot. There were times where 2 groups were waiting to tee off but other than that it was great.

Cart path only ?

First of all this is the first time Ive played Mountain view in close to 50 years. As I kid I played here a lot and was really looking forward to returning. I was not disappointed.

The course is challenging the greens conditions etc. were close to perfect. The only problem was the amount of rain during the week which made the rough..rough!! Some places very high. And the greens were maybe a day or two overdue for cutting. Otherwise a great experience.

Here comes the bad part. There was heavy rain in the morning which stopped around noon. We had a 2 oclock tee time. Because of the morning rain management decided to enforce cart path only. What a joke? The fairways, rough and all were well drained and basically dry. Nowhere did we see any hint of wet conditions. I'm 63 years old and had to walk basically the entire course because of this nonsense directive. When I did get tired I did the 90 degree fairway thing and immediately drovet to the rough as soon as I could. The ranger saw this and reprimanded us not once..but twice ! Then said do it again we take the cart key. Besides the walking it really slowed down play and made the day an almost 5 1/2 hour round. Yawn !!!!

Use your heads Mountain View staff. You have a beautiful course....lets equip it with beautiful minds too !

We're sorry to hear that you felt the cart path only conditions were unwarranted. We can assure you, it is always with the great course conditions in mind and we hope it won't deter you from play here again!

Good Course, Bad Staff

I have played this course several times over the past few years and have enjoyed the course itself for what it is, an average public course. However, the staff seem to think they are Pebble Beach as they refused to wait for our last member of our group (who had a family emergency) for two minutes, even though the course was empty! We offered the group behind us to play ahead and we would go off after, but the starter's ego got in the way of that. The starter was extremely rude and pushy to both our group and the group behind us. He claimed that "they follow rules around here" even though he was wearing jean shorts and disrespecting his customers. The course itself is a decent track but not worth the trouble if we're treated like this again.
