Lakeview Golf Resort

It's hard to describe how poor the conditions are at this course, and it's absolutely ridiculous that someone from Lakeview/Mountainview responds to the reviews on here and says they will work to address the problems; they clearly don't have any interest in doing so. I've never played a course in worse shape, and I usually play rather inexpensive courses.

Greens are in awful shape with tons of bare spots and massive sand wasp holes. They did mow the rough at least a bit sometime before we went out this time. Instead of the most poorly maintained rough I have ever experienced (10+ inch-long weedy rough right off the so-called fairways), it was now down to about 6" in most places with "only" quite a lot of clumps of unraked grass clippings in most places instead of an insane amount of clumps of unraked grass clippings everywhere. Fairways are hit and miss... there is a good bit of crab grass in the best ones, and the worst ones are full of weeds and crabgrass and very poorly mown. There are literally big pieces of black plastic sticking up through the sand in all of the bunkers, most of which are completely unplayable.

The bright side; they've finally dropped the rates, presumably due to the deplorable condition of a once-nice course. That at least makes it a semi-feasible choice as a last resort when times aren't available anywhere else.

As a regular patron I have watched the gradual decline of this once elite course. there were attempts to improve the course conditions earlier, It appears that they have given up on getting the facility back to championship form. Further, course management is non existent and novice golfers tear up whats left of the course with un-repaired ball marks and divots.

The cart paths are atrocious and the greens are in horrible shape.

Io pains me to write this but it is no longer a must play course.

Course layout is great, nice views, open and challenging! However, I should have known this course was awful when I saw how dirty the carts were! the course conditions are absolutely terrible. You could not tell the difference between the rough and the fairway. The grass was not collected from last mowing. Greens and in terrible shape and have dead spots all over them. The bunkers had grass growing out of them. Crabgrass all over the greens. I planned to play 18-holes, stopped playing after hole 6 and went home! This is the first time I would rather leave a course rather than playing. Million dollar homes surrounding a course in the poor of a condition is not a good look! I will not play here ever again!

Course was a little rough. Greens had some really bad bare spots. Some tee boxes had really bad bare spots. Carts we nice with the gps.

Course has been neglected for far too long. Needs a miracle and a lot of $$$ to revive it. Best thing they’ve done was drop midweek price to 20 bucks. At least then I could somewhat justify the 8 inch rough, no tee markers, crab grass fairways, and divot ridden greens. But hey at least they have new t-shirt merch in the pro shop!! What a joke lol

We played as a foursome so 2 carts with 2 people on each. Mine and my partner's cart died on the 7th hole, we called the pro-shop and they had no carts available to run out to us. We had to go in neutral and get pushed the last 2 holes. When we got done with the front and were making the turn, there still were no carts so we decided to leave and didn't even get to play the back. A normal municipal course running out of carts on a Saturday in August with perfect weather, understandable. A resort running out of carts doesn't make any sense to me. To top it all of they didn't even have water bottles for sale and their selection of "snacks" looked like the back of your grandmother's cabinet that she hasn't opened for 5 years.

Over the last four years, this course has been on a downward spiral. the Fringe is taking over by weeks. Even though we have had record rainfall recently, the fairway had dead spots. The greens were bumpy due to so many untreated ball marks. Bunkers needed weed eated around and raked.

What once used to be a great course is no longer.

Used to be a great spot. Downhill since. Need to put time back into maintenance.

This course needs some TLC. Has so much potential. I would not play this course full price, but if you catch a deal it’s worth it.

I really don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said. I find it laughable when I read the responses from Lakeview management that they are in the process of fixing it up. These responses have been out there for a few years now and things just keep getting worse. I certainly don’t blame the employees as I think this is more an issue with ownership. I encourage you to go back and look at the reviews from 2018-prior. Mostly very favorable. However, since then it is simply a parade of disparaging reviews. Unfortunately, at this point the course looks to be well beyond repairs. I would imagine that play is significantly down. What a shame.
