Early October afternoon

I got a great rate online! I have played this course a few times. The conditions were great, especially for October! The greens were still very fast.It is a tough course, with a lot of uphill and downhill lies. They are making some changes, but make it very playable.

Saturday play

Play on front 9 went well. Back 9 went slow because of slower players. Greens were rough from previous airrating at some point. The overall course was a nice layout and had some challenging shot placements. Had a fun time for the most part. Will play this course again as it is closer than some courses I play.

Great value

Mountain View is a challenging course. There are long par 3's and 5's. Many elevated greens that make the course play longer than its yardage. Course was in great condition. the greens putt true and fast.

Probably the nicest course in state college pa

This course is well kept. I'd say it's easy to medium difficulty. Fairways are wide. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I only play here when I can get a good rate from GolfNow.com because it's a little out of my normal price range, but I always enjoy it thoroughly.

Great Value for HOT DEAL tee time

I've played this course many times. Its a challenging course and a good test of skill.

I was paired with two other singles. We all had a great time enjoying each others company.

However, it seems as many courses in the area were stricken with greens damage this past winter. Many of the greens were damaged and they are aerating to help fix the greens.

Great value for a HOT DEAL time. I played for $15 plus tax.

Well maintained and surprisingly challenging course

The staff and management here really puts an incredible amount of effort into updating and maintaining this course. The greens roll perfectly true, and are more difficult than they look. They recently updated the layout of a few holes to get rid of the awkward doglegs and super short holes that used to exist. There are several scoring holes on each 9, but also several survival holes including some long par 3s to balance out the course. This is one of the best courses in Central PA.

Beautiful course

Staff was very accomodating and although there wasn't a starter on this Monday I got paired by accident with two pros, Jeb and Dustin. Man, could they play and they were very friendly and tolerant of my weak mis-hits. I found the greens on this course very difficult but the rough around the fairways survivable. I really enjoyed playing alongside these two very good players. Oh yea, the course was in great shape.

Nice course poorly managed

While the course has lots of challnges and in good condition. we were disappointed that at check-in we learned we only had 45 minutest to play seven holes before a golf event would shotgun start off holes 1-7. No solution was offered (have us start on the back nine? delay the shotgun until other patrons cleared 1-7?). They blamed the problem on Golfnow! This is the second time something like this has occurred at this course.

Decent course, nothing special, many sloped fairways, many plateaued greens, nice views.

I had been told by others that this was a course I had to play. I played it and it was OK. Nothing overly special. I had to drive approximately 65 mile each way and won't be in any hurry to drive that distance to play this course again.
