Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play The Woods Resort Mountain View Course?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the most ideal playing conditions. If you can swing it, late September or early October provides stunning fall foliage views that truly elevate the experience, though you'll want to book well in advance for those prime dates.

How challenging is the Mountain View Course for different skill levels?

The Mountain View Course is genuinely enjoyable for all skill levels, but don't let the resort setting fool you - it's a proper test. You'll encounter significant elevation changes and some tight, tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy, especially off the tee. We recommend playing a set of tees that matches your typical game to fully appreciate the design without getting too frustrated.

Are there any signature holes or must-see views on the course?

Absolutely, the views are a major highlight here. The back nine, particularly holes 12 through 15, offers breathtaking panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains that will make you pause. Hole 14, a downhill par-3, is a standout; you'll want to take an extra club and soak in that scenery before you swing.

What's the typical pace of play and how busy does the course get?

Being a popular resort course, it can get busy, especially on weekends and during peak season. We've generally found the pace of play to be well-managed, but expect a four-and-a-half to five-hour round. If you prefer a quicker game, aim for an early morning weekday tee time; it's worth getting up for the peaceful start.

What should I know about the greens and overall course conditions?

The greens at Mountain View are consistently well-maintained and roll true, but they can be deceptively quick, especially downhill. You'll also notice some subtle breaks due to the mountain contours, so pay close attention to your putts. The fairways are generally lush, offering good lies, but stray shots can find some challenging rough.
