Mountain View Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to visit Mountain View Golf Club for ideal conditions and views?

We've played Mountain View in every season, and late spring through early fall is your sweet spot. You'll get the most vibrant mountain scenery and comfortable temperatures, though fall foliage adds a spectacular, albeit cooler, dimension. Expect the course to be in peak condition during these months, but book your tee time well in advance as it gets busy.

What's the biggest challenge or unique feature golfers should prepare for at Mountain View?

The elevation changes are no joke here, so prepare for some truly dramatic uphill and downhill shots that play longer or shorter than you'd expect. We found the par-3 14th, with its massive drop to the green, to be a real test of club selection and nerve - it's a signature hole for a reason. Don't be surprised if your ball flies a little further in the thinner mountain air.

Given the 'mountain' in its name, is Mountain View Golf Club a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While we love a good walk, Mountain View is definitely a cart-mandatory course for most players, and honestly, we recommend it. The significant elevation changes between holes and some long treks from green to tee box would make walking incredibly strenuous, even for fit golfers. Save your energy for those challenging uphill approaches.

How do the greens at Mountain View Golf Club play, especially with the mountain terrain?

The greens at Mountain View are often overlooked but are a serious test; they tend to be quicker than they look and feature subtle breaks influenced by the surrounding mountains. We've learned to always putt towards the valley, even if it looks uphill, as the natural drainage often dictates the true line. Pay close attention to the local knowledge from your playing partners or caddie if you can get one.

What's the typical cost to play at Mountain View Golf Club, and is it worth the price?

Green fees at Mountain View can vary quite a bit depending on the season and time of day, generally ranging from $120-$200 for non-resort guests. We think it's absolutely worth it for the stunning views and unique mountain golf experience you get - it's not just another round, it's an adventure. Look for twilight rates or shoulder season deals if you're trying to manage your budget.
