I wanted to play golf at Lakeview in Morgantown for many years and finally got the opportunity recently. I couldn't have been more disappointed. Perhaps this course used to be good, but it's no longer worth playing for a number of reasons. The course is old and poorly maintained. The greens were rough with sparse grass in many areas, and the tee boxes were narrow, uneven, and also consistently sparse. The sand traps were unkept and a number of them were filled with water. On top of that, the golf carts were old with loud gas engines, which sounded more like go-carts from the amusement park than golf carts. Acceleration of the carts was inconsistent and breaking was poor and dangerous at times on the hilly course. However, the two most inexcusable situations I encountered were as follows: (1) There was absolutely no water available on the course at all... not at the holes, in the clubhouse, or at the cart stand, and there was no drink cart available at any time throughout the day. There was water available for purchase at the turn, but no water coolers were provided anywhere on the course, extremely which was dangerous on a hot day, which it was, and especially dangerous for seniors, which we are. (2) The cart paths consisted of broken and patched-up asphalt, still containing many potholes and uneven surfaces, inconsistent in its width and looking more like a remnant from an old war than something that should be on a golf course. The ride was terribly rough throughout the day. To top it off, the course was very expensive to play. I left feeling as though I'd been ripped off and regretted ever playing the course. Lakeview is certainly not worth your time or your money. With the lack of water, the poor golf carts, and the terrible cart paths, it is a dangerous place to play, especially for seniors. Spend your money on the multitude of good courses elsewhere and avoid Lakeview at all costs.
