"Mountain View: Where Golfing Dreams Turn into Rustic Nightmares"
Ah, Mountain View Golf Course, where the art of making a course more challenging is defined not by strategically placed obstacles or intriguing features, but rather by an innovative combination of neglect and acoustical assault.
Here, your journey of self-discovery begins on the greens, where grass is not so much mowed as left to die in peace, withering away to reveal an exciting terrain akin to the moon's surface. The hobbling, unpredictable bounce of the ball will have you re-evaluating the laws of physics themselves, one stroke at a time.
Moving on, Mountain View's sand traps embrace the pioneering spirit of Silicon Valley. Why stick to regular sand when you can feel like you're smacking your ball out of an asphalt parking lot? It's a thrilling sensation, somewhat akin to trying to perform a delicate surgery with a sledgehammer.
Then, there's the pièce de résistance, the stunning ambiance. The dedicated Mountain View staff are ever-present, their equipment rumbling like a squadron of Harley Davidsons, just up until the moment you swing. The acoustic experience they offer has been compared to a tractor pull at the county fair and is something to behold.
And the price? Oh, the price. It's as if they're charging you for an afternoon at Augusta National, but you're more likely to feel like you've just spent an afternoon in a dystopian wasteland. It's audacious, it's bold, and it's absolutely bewildering.
In summary, Mountain View offers a golfing experience like no other. It has truly reinvented the concept of a "challenging" course, with maintenance taking a back seat to nature's whimsy and auditory delight. This is the course for you if you've ever wondered what golf would be like in the post-apocalypse. Two resounding stars for their unwavering dedication to...
Read moreThis is my first time here and first I need to say the staff was far from welcoming. Maybe I caught them on a bad morning, but they were not talkative or friendly. Whatever I can write that off. Also, the maintenance people on the mowers were of the mindset that you need to get out of their way vs them treating you like a customer. One guy on a mower came within a foot of my ball in the fairway while I was standing next to it. None of them pulled over to let golfers play through, they just continued on with their work as if you were in the way.
The course itself is flat and it reminds me of an executive course except longer. It did not have any ball washers anywhere on the course. Nothing very challenging to speak of. Not a lot of trees either, but some. It is well maintained with the exception of the rough off the fairway. I lost 6 balls within 20' of the fairway because the grass was so long. The play was slowed considerably because every foursome was out looking for balls that missed the fairway by just a few feet. It's actually hard to believe you can lose a ball knowing where it hit but that was the case. I asked a player in the parking lot if that was normal and he said it was exceptionally long for some reason so I guess I'll give it a pass but I felt the need to report it.
I'll play it again and hopefully, it will be in better shape as far as the rough is concerned. The tee boxes and greens were in...
Read moreI will never golf here again. I grew up in St George with some pretty good courses near. I know how you act and treat people on the green. In our first hole we had an employee come up behind us telling us we had put the game 20 minutes behind. When we had waited 10 mins to hit already. I told him sorry I hadn’t been out since 2006 when the floods hit the south trying to sooth his mouth. His response was well I guess I’m gonna get 25 more complaints. On hole 1!! Are you kidding me? Whoever is in charge of hiring please go read your home page. Spacious,& generous greens, for all ages and experience levels. You obviously don’t practice that. Then he ended it with I know it’s your first time so stop watching each other. My first yes. Although my husband and friends have gone 2/3 times a month for some time now. I would not recommend any part of this course from the Staff to the greens it’s all bad. I only had good a time because I had good people with me. Get it together your not a golf course your a putting range with ponds, bad greens and rude men running the grounds. Mini Golf has given me more joy. Mountain View Golf…. You are not doing this sport justice. The next generation won’t continue if they come here. Stop gate keeping you create zero love for the sport when you treat a come back a newbie and two dedicated like garbage because...
