Solid

Very nice course for Morgantown. It was wet, and after all the rain there were only a few spots where the water was really bad. Impressive for the amount of rain we hve had. Only negative was the 1 hour "frost delay" we had for our 7:30 tee time. Overall, I can't wait to take friends and go back this time with a four some.

Mountain view and GolfNow: Best Deal in MoTown

Course was wet , but still enjoyable . No roll and the greens held shots.
No backup and you could play at your own pace.
Staff is very pleasant.
I plan to play there every time that I am in Morgantown.

Huge Boulders & No Sand in the Bunkers

The greens were nice enough, so were the fairways for that matter. The course is mountainous and there are a few gimmicky holes, but all-in-all it was OK...except for the bunkers. There are 8-10 boulders in nearly every bunker and hundreds of other smaller stones...very poor condition and actually quite dangerous.

Unfair tract

Course is hilly, has way to many blind shots, and not in good condition. You can hit a ball right down the middle and never see that ball again. Narrow hilly fairways. Tees were awful, greens had so many ball marks, fairways are decent but very narrow and unfair. Not a very enjoyable course. Would never pay full price, but at $16 through golf now it was a good way to waste a Saturday afternoon. I won't return.

Lots of elevation

Course was in good condition. Fastest greens i played all year, but were very bumpy. The name "Lakeview" doesnt really apply. There were some views of the lake, but not from a hole being alongside the lake. It's a mountain course with lots of elevation changes. Not really my favorite kind of course but it was nice. The biggest problem was the multiple foursomes of "Meatheads" playing ahead of us. If I would of kept playing all 18, It would of been well over 5 hours.

This course is very hilly.

This course was to hilly for me. Even after hitting the fairway on my tee shot it would roll off. If you like a mountain course, i would highly recommend this one.

Very challenging greens

This course is listed as part of lake view resort but the mountain view course is not located anywhere near the resort. After driving several hrs to get to the resort and finding out we were at the wrong facility the directions to the new course made it hard to find. There is only a practice putting green located there and a small snack bar inside the little club like facility. They did meet is at our vehicle with a cart which was nice and informed us we would be paired up with a little Asian dude ( yes that's how they stated it ) we met up with young who turned out to be the best part of the round, we teed off on time course was busy the round took about 4:15 , the course was ok very challenging, probably made more difficult because the fairways were all burnt from the recent heat and lack of rain, the sand bunkers were all in daplorible condition with standing water in some of them like hitting out of concrete, the greens were tough and fast I'm sure local knowledge we make the course easier. Overall the course was ok nothing special only good hole view was # 17 I assume this course is treated as the ugly step brother of lake view resort and is treated as such would not drive back to play again.

Worth The View? I Think Not?

I wish I had read the review posted on 7/29 by vet013 from Greensboro, PA PRIOR to playing Lakeview and Mountainview on consecutive days on 8/4 and 8/5. Fortunately, I played both courses for a combined $65.00. I played the Lakeview 20 years ago when I was in graduate school at WVU and had fond memories. After playing Lakeview -- slow pace of play after 11th hole with no Ranger, little water to drink on the course, divots and ball marks galore, etc. -- and Mountainvew -- grounds staff cutting grass forwards from #1 and not backwards from #18 so as to not interrupt play, for example, and the most bizarre bounces OUT of the fairway this side of Scotland -- I'd not return ... to either course ... ever. Vet013 was spot-on!

The course in a tough one. Do not go off the fairway. Your ball will be gone. The ruff is cut to the length that hides your ball every time. I will say the course layout is interesting. Big hills that make for neat tee offs. Be prepared to lose a kidney. The cart paths are so bad I would compare them to bankrupt third world city's roads. The staff was friendly if not unfounded pretentious. They seem to impressed with the course which makes me wonder if the have ever seen a nice one. Who would spend the money for a membership here. Not this guy.

Understaffed

The sand in the bunkers was almost nonexistent, and there could stand to be some coolers of water available. Otherwise a nice Sunday spent golfing.
