About Lakeview Golf Resort

The Lakeview Golf Resort can be something for everyone: a golf resort, a wedding venue, a vacation destination or more. As part of the Trademark Collection by Wyndham, the resort offers two courses with views of Cheat Lake and the Allegheny Mountains, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools and dining. Accommodations range from rooms to suites. Its location is ideal, close to both a thriving college town and yet still close enough to Coopers Rock State Forest for outdoor adventures such as whitewater rafting.

Great staff, nice course, horrible cart paths.

The staff was nice, the course was in good condition, but the cart paths are atrocious. They are worse than WV roads. Fix these immediately!!!

This course needs a lot of improvements

While the course is in a beautiful area and the layout was challenging the course and the cart path were in very poor shape. The rough was so long you would have a hard time finding anything off the fairway. The same for around the green. The course needs money put back into it to bring it back to what it was.

Disappointing

Mountainview seems to be in a much worse condition than when I last played it 6 years ago. Disappointing to see it has been neglected.

Best course in the area

Easily the best course in the Area and the price makes it even better. GPS in the carts is great and they have a beer cart person and snack shack at the turn. The two restaurants are good and the pro shop has a good selection. Would definitely recommend for a golf weekend.

It was raining, very windy & cold. Played 5 holes then left. Person at course said she couldn’t give us a rain check. Tried to call GolfNow - didn’t help. Tried to contact GolfNow online _ not successful. I think we deserve some money back or some type of rain check

We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. Our goal is to keep the pace of play running smoothly and to never have it too backed up. As far as the raincheck goes, sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. You may have booked other course times through GolfNow and that is why you were able to obtain a raincheck. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.

Sad

Have been a regular at this course for the last 15 years. Once was a terrific course, very well maintained. It’s (and Lakeview’s) fall from grace is just tragic. Likely only thing keeping them above water is that there is no decent public courses to play in this area. Staff working there is friendly not a slight on them at all. Ownership/management likely not giving them the tools/staffing to keep this course where it needs to be. Not nearly worth the price of admission for its conditions. Make the drive to PA or MD and play at courses where ownership actually cares.

Not good

Really only played it because it was the only course close by that was open on a nice warm day in the winter. The course has never been a very good value, but it used to be much nicer. These days I only play it if it's the only option or if I can get an unusually low price.

Due to the break in the weather, it was very busy. Many groups were going out around the time we arrived, many of them without tee times. Despite all this, when we're walking to the green on the 9th hole, a pair pulls up out of nowhere to start their round on the 10th hole. I asked them if they were told they could start on the back, and they said yes. It's hard to overstate how frustrating that is, but it seems pretty standard for Lakeview these days.

The course has a very interesting and difficult layout, but many holes have really fallen into disrepair. The first green is kind of a mess and the 14th green is an absolute disaster that you can't really putt on; there is some sort of grass disease issue that hasn't been addressed, and that's been the case for quite a while now. Those two holes are the worst, but other greens have problems as well. I know it's winter, but when there were "rakes" around bunkers, many of them didn't have any teeth; just kind of emblematic of the level of maintenance out there these days. The practice green being useless due to the grass issue also says a lot about the state of disrepair of the course. The greens fees are still set as if it's a particularly nice course, though.

The course staff posted on Facebook about people tearing up ground with carts that day, and that certainly happened; some people were being obnoxious with carts. We were very confused whether or not it was cart path only, though; I wasn't told when checking in, and the cart GPS unit was saying only certain holes were CPO. I typically play 90 degrees even when it's not CPO, but given than no one in front of or behind us was playing CPO anywhere, I gave up on that on a few holes while still being careful not to damage anything. I do hate to see people tearing up a course, but the Facebook post was kind of ironic given the general lack of oversight of anything going on on the course.

On the positive side, we were not stuck behind a group of 5 or 6 people as has become common at Lakeview.

The Good & Bad

I’ll start with the positives. This is a beautiful course with a challenging and fun layout. Lots of elevation change. Several views of the lake (thus the name). Quite narrow in some places, but very fair. It’s a tough course but very enjoyable to play. Now to the negatives. The condition of the course has clearly declined over the years. Greens were very banged up and a few tee boxes had no grass whatsoever. Fairways seemed to be fine. The $23 hot deal was well worth the price, but I’m not sure I’d pay the $45+ they were asking to play in late November. All in all, I’ll be back, but I’d love to see the conditions improve because this is a fantastic layout.

Gone to the dogs apparently

I remember when this course was the top ones in the state, an elite course. Just to play it was an honor. And not that long ago. Times have changed in the last 10 years. I think anyone who remembers this course knows that it’s not the course it used to be - not the greens, not the fairways. No one replaces divots or ball marks on greens. It’s a mess. At least keep the people who live around the course from using the course like it’s a rail-trail. It’s really aggravating when you’re trying to tee off (multiple times) and people are walking their dogs in the middle of the fairway.
