Mt. View - 27 Sept. 2015
Course was in great shape. Appear to have aerated a couple of weeks ago but the greens rolled pretty true, generally soft. As usual, easy to lose a ball in the rough. It may not be US Open rough but punishing none the less...
Nice Course
First time playing the course. The course was just airrated. That's why the average rating. It's a basic course. Up one side back down the other. Water comes into play on one hole. It was a good course I would play it again. It's a county course (Mercer County) alone with the other county courses Princeton CC, Mercer Oaks East and West. It's a little pricey. I paid $48, should cost between $35 & $40.
Sloping fairways
This course is fun to play. The condition always seems to be average, nothing to scare you away. Many of the fairways slope to the side (though you are not really in mountainous or hilly terrain.)
A few of the par 4's are longer and reasonably challenging. Though not "special", I would play it more if it were closer. some of the back (read further from the clubhouse) are pretty fun.
There is a range here.
Meh
I don't agree with the four star ratings this course gets. My experience is semi-surly staff, hard fairways, forgettable greens, and slow play. Many holes are just feature-less.
Pesticide please!
This course would be great if they just sprayed for the pesky gnats. They swarm you from tee to green. It's not just an off day. It's like that all summer long. The course itself is really good and staff is nice, just those pesky gnats make it unbearable at times.
First time
Nice course. It's fast so it walkable. Some greens are small which add difficulty. The only problem is the course looks aerated so putts jumped in some holes. Will surely play again from the blue tees.
Better than expected
Last time I played this course, which was about 8 years ago,it was in poor condition. It was in better shape than before. Don't think the value of course is worth what we paid. Marshalls were available to enforce speed of play.
Unique layout
Fun layout requires all shots and clubs in your bag
Clouds of flies, standing stagnant water - AVOID
On over half of my shots today in a round that I would have just fled if I had come to the course in my own car, I had larvae in my eyes, nose, ears, throat, skin, everywhere. They were on the tee boxes, the fairways, the rough, the bunkers, the greens -- everywhere.
I'm not a fan of the layout in general, as there are more than a few blind shots and/or fairways that don't give you a level place to strike... but when you combine it with the absolute misery that is the insect situation, it's not a course I would wish on my worst enemy.
I want it to be good and trafficked, because I want to be able to play Mercer Oaks without it being absolutely locked down with traffic, but good Lord, the place was an absolute mess. I will never, ever, return. I would not play this place again for free. Neither should you.
Sloooowwwww play
Great course, good location, nice facilities but no help with the pace of play. A 5 hour 15 minute round on a Friday is unacceptable. The group in front of us should not have been allowed on the golf course ( let alone one of them was playing from the blues. ) Unfortunately the ranger was no help and was asked numerous times.
Overall Great Course. Challenging front 9
Went on a Monday. Grass had not been cut after the weekends. Fairways are generous, with lots of relief to the sides, but the tall grass is tough to get out of. Course is absolutely beautiful! Hole 9 had a big mud puddle right in the middle of the fairway about 225 out. Only bad spot on the course. Water hazards never really seem to come into play, but the bunkers are quite strategically placed. 13, I believe, has a green side bunker that ate my lunch. The bunker is all you can see from the tee box. Overall, a great course.
Great Public Course - Consistent condtions
Mountainview is probably my favorite of the four Mercer County courses. The course does a pretty good job staggering tee times, and you cannot get mad at the starter for individuals who just play slowly. I have seen much slower rounds at other public courses. This course offers moderate elevation change and has dog legs, uphill, and downhill holes which adds to a fun and diverse course layout from the basic long and straight courses. The course generally maintains great conditions, with minimal to no bare spots and mows the course regularly. The greens are always lush, green, and have a great appearance but they are not as fast as they look (still roll pretty "true"). For a golfnow rate, this place is a steal, but for regular rates, it might be a little pricey (depends on your wallet). If you have not played here, I highly suggest playing it at least once. I have not tried the food and I don't think there is usually a beverage court around the course. I live in Yardley and play this course most often for proximity and consistent good quality of course. The staff is always pretty friendly.
Ordinary
The people there were very nice but the course was plan nothing really to talk about
Pleasantly Surprised
First time playing this course and I could not find anything to dislike about this place. The course was in very good shape. I played at 3 pm so pace of play was not a problem, we were a twosome and finished in 3.5 hours.
I will definitely be back again.
Good course and very friendly golfers
Have a excellent time playing and meet with very good golfers thanks to golfnow app....
Nice course on border of Jersey
I always saw this course off 95 and decided to give it a go and was not let down. I will say the parking lot is far from the club house so you will want to drop off your clubs at the bag drop. Back to back par 5s to start is a nice challenge. The course was in good shape overall. Tee boxes are a little tight to tee off. Fun course layout I will be back again.
Mt View
Been coming here for years. Always in excellent shape.
Not tooooooo difficult but will still challenge. Watch out for #14, most players will be hitting 2nd shot from the 2nd fairway.
Good value
If you're looking for a well maintain course then this is it, conditions very really good, staff was very friendly, it was my first time playing here I'm looking forward to coming back.
