Terrible Pace and Poor Planning

The course scheduled a member outing of a 10+ member group but only blocked out 15 minutes after. The group would not let anyone play through, and this resulted in our group finishing 4 holes on the back 9 in 2 hours.

Great afternoon golfing

Mt View has upgraded their course the last few years from when it was the Elks CC. Well done.

Early Oct round. Great weather. Greens were in fabulous shape. Went out in afternoon. Played front as a single and matched up with 3 retirees on back. Great afternoon of getting out to play golf.
The newer 12th hole is very nice and challenging!!

Course still needs to do something about #11 where total fairway is sloped on hill. You can hit straight down middle and it will roll off fairway to the left. Must hit right of the fairway for it to roll back down into fairway.
