Perfect weather
Used cart

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!
