Very nice public course.

It rained most of the day. The course was very wet a few holes were cart path only. The staff was very accommodating. We had to take a little break at the 19th hole to wait out some of the heavier rain. All in all we had a very enjoyable day.

Very Flat

The name, Mountain View, led us to believe that the course would be a typical mountain course but boy was this one flat. That made it pretty boring and not very challenging.

A good time

Traveling in the area with two friends, we played this course in the afternoon after visiting Gettysburg Battlefield in the morning. The layout and view are great, the back nine is a little more interesting than the front but both are in good shape. We were behind a slow fourthsome and asked the single behind us to join us. He was a pleasure to watch, a local high school junior who new the course, he helped our scores with his local knowledge and played the course at par. A wider selection of beers and food would have helped but the course was just fine

Great early shape

Tee to green was very good for this time of year. Course on back made you think on how you want to approach greens, some water comes into play. Bunkers were not touch as of this round but other courses in area are the same when it comes to the bunkers.

Walked

A good course to walk

This would be a fine course to walk/ Lot of sand on the course. I.personally would like to see better sand.. Most all of the traps were sand scarce and had little stones in them. Course was in good shape for late November. No leaf issues on the greens.. which is a sign of the course being taken care of.

Perfect way To Spend The Day

The course was very wet due to previous weather so we played cart path only on 7 of the 18 holes; but the greens were still lush yet challenging. (We have played other courses that charge much more and do not maintain the tee boxes, etc ) We have played this course many times and always have a wonderful experience. We love the "challenge" of the layout! It is the perfect place to spend the afternoon with family & friends.Thanks for a relaxing, fun day!

Always enjoy the Mountain View

Beautiful day with very few on the course. I guess everyone was watching Ryder Cup or football which was great for us. The course was in very good condition despite the rain which left some standing water in places.

One of my favorites

This course is a very good course all around. The staff is very friendly, the course is always in great shape, you can find great deals on Golfnow, the snack bar is very nice, the driving range is great and the layout is fun. This course is a much better value than Carroll Valley golf course, which is just down the road a few miles. I highly recommend this course.

Great little course!

I was really impressed on the course conditions for this time of year. The layout is challenging enough for a golfer of any level and the rough is fairly forgiving. I would play here next time I'm in the area and so should you! Pace of play was the only drawback, but not the worst I've seen.
