Lakeview Golf Resort

Felt very safe from Rona from the start!! Pace of play was great and it was crowded. Staff was very friendly and never once felt unsafe! Played 18 holes in 4 hrs which was great! Course in very decent shape!!

The course was challenging and interesting, just not taken care of the way it should be. The fairways were fine, but Sand traps are uncared for - not raked or even weeded in some instances. No distance markets. There were 150 markers, but all were lying on the ground. Greens were in decent shape, except for one. The carts need to be wiped down before each use. They were not. Many were muddy and many ran poorly. The girl in the club house was great - cheerful, helpful, We saw no other staff in the clubhouse. We were just glad to get in some golf. All PA course are closed.

Sad how this course has gone downhill in the last year...not too many clean lies in fairways or rough. Really good holes out there, just condition was unacceptable

This could be a nice course and could certainly be a great value. It currently has a few major issues, though, and I hope the new ownership will address them:

(1) There are a couple of really good staff members, especially a young guy who is very attentive with carts, etc., but there are at least a couple of older staff members who pay almost no attention to customers and are slow as molasses. When they are working together, they will converse with each other for ten minutes before even acknowledging that a customer has entered the clubhouse, and when they do finally say hello, they aren't overly pleasant. I hate to bring it up, but I've experienced it on multiple occasions. There have also been times when no staff were in the clubhouse for extended periods.

(2) The computer/internet reservation and payment system needs to be fixed. Over the last two seasons, it was not working properly during more than half the rounds that I played. Either it was insanely slow or not working at all.

(3) As many others have mentioned, the bunkers are a disaster. They are usually rock hard and half-filled with water. If they are not going to be maintained, they should be PROPERLY filled in.

(4) There are an awful lot of rocky/hard-pan areas on some holes that aren't design features.

(5) The rough is often allowed to get way out of hand, which is especially problematic on the several holes with severe cross slopes. I imagine it's difficult to mow those slopes when it's at all wet, but at times it makes for a course that is more near-impossible and extremely frustrating than difficult but enjoyable. This is especially true give than one can hit the right side of several fairways on the fly and still end up in the rough to the left of those fairways.

(6) Trying to putt on the 12th green is just kind of ridiculous.

(7) Some maintenance staff pay no attention to players, and even occasionally blare loud music when working on holes that people are teeing off on. This seems like a simple issue of training. I think these are hard working folks who just haven't been shown how to act on a golf course.

(8) Lakeview needs to more clearly distinguish between the Lakeview Course and the Mountainview Course online. The main Google Map entry for Mountainview places it at the Lakeview course, and it's obviously nowhere near there. The address that comes up for Mountainview is usually 150 Lakeview Drive or 1 Lakeview Drive, depending on the website, whereas the Mountainview clubhouse is actually at (roughly) 4001 Greystone Drive, which is over two miles from there. This makes things really difficult for people playing Mountainview for the first time and for trying to meet up with people who haven't played Mountainview before.

(9) There are some major drainage problems on the first hole, but I do not think that's an easy fix at all and don't really blame the operators.

This course was built in the 50s, and the layout reflects the style of that era, with tee boxes not far from the last green. This was not a problem, but could be if the course was crowded. The course was in good shape, but heavy rains a few days before kept the carts on the path. Greens were somewhat fast and the subtle slopes accentuated their speed. The nice thing was, the greens would hold a week played shot. The layout is challenging, but fair. A lot of grade changes, so you have a lot of up and down hill shots. All in all, a very enjoyable course.

We loved the course but the restaurant and hotel were shabby.

used to play this course 30+ years ago, it was close to PGA quality back then. it has gone downhill but is still in decent shape, bit high priced for conditions, but I think they just lost head groundskeeper, maybe with a little more money put in it, it will get back to its old conditions. sandtraps almost unplayable, lots dead spot, but it was july. not bad for the hot deal price, but I would feel cheated if had to pay full price under current conditions

This course is nice to have close to home. Nothing jumps out about this course but I’ve never experienced a round where I’ve flat out said “I’ll never come here again”. The condition of the course has improved this year which is nice to see. I hope the new owners continue to put money into the course and clean up some things cause it has the potential to be great again.

This course in its prime was one most beautiful courses around. Most of the bunkers are so filled with grass and weeds, they are unplayable. The fairways are ok, but there are a lot of areas that are very wet. I have seen worse greens, but not many for any course over $30 a round. A fair price might be $15 for 18 with cart.

Having played this Course, several years ago, I was disappointed to see how it had gone downhill. Let me say that the staff were friendly and accommodating , but the Course maintenance has suffered. The cart paths were a series of broken and pot-holed asphalt, the fairways had a patchwork look of repair attempts and the tee boxes were a mess. Fortunately, the $23 fee was appropriate, but it was still a disappointment. To see how it has deteriorated.

I think this course has a lot of really well designed holes. However, the bunkers are in poor shape. Good value course for about $30. The greens in my opinion are too fast for the course...had some hole locations where balls would roll off the green when they should’ve stopped within a few feet of hole.

This course has so much potential to be great. Needs alot of TLC

Hills and fast greens makes it challenging. Greens and fairways in good shape. In the process of filling in bunkers with grass.

Was out early got backed up by a really slow foursome..The course sent someone out to allow the faster players to play through...Staff attention to details like this is why I would go back. Course in great shape for all the bad recent weather.

Nice layout. Fun to play. Course was in very good shape. They are working on the sand traps. The sprinklers did not shut off while I played between 7-10. Greens were very wet from over watering.

Always fun for a Florida boy to play in the mountains. Staff was helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed my round. Course is in fantastic shape. Looking forward to playing here again soon.
