Lakeview Golf Course
A recent visit by the Virginia Golf Course Reviews team to Lakeview Golf Club proved worthwhile. Lakeview Golf Club has some of the best views of the Valley with the Massanutten Peak in full view from most of the Mountain Green’s tee boxes. Lakeview has three sets of nines.
The Mountain nine at 3,341 yards from the white tees is the longest and requires hybrids and longer iron shots to several greens. On some holes the OB stakes will come into play on shots that stray to the left of the cart path. Attractive homes and yards border the course on some holes of this nine, but most do not come into play.
The Peak nine at 3,123 yards from the whites offers varying elevations. Golfers will also encounter several tree-lined fairways that require careful tee shot placement. Holes four and five discussed below are highlights of the Peak nine. It’s a little tight around the fairways. The Lake nine plays at 3,030 yards, also from the whites, around two lakes that add an attractive focus to a very traditional and playable layout.
The Lake nine is open and inviting and would be a good choice for higher handicap players.
The clubhouse features a small grill with GREAT BBQ sandwiches and two simulators that. include league play. Make sure to tell the staff we sent you.
