Opening Day at Mountain View!

/in /by

Course Superintendent Steve Parker and his crack greens keeping team have been hard at work preparing our facilities for opening and we’re very pleased to announce the following opening days and times, subject of course to our unruly NEK weather:

  • Pickleball Courts: Wednesday, May 3, at 9:30 A.M.
  • Golf Course: Wednesday, May 10 at noon.
  • Tennis Courts: Saturday, May 12, at 8:30 A.M.

As in the past, members will be able to reserve court times and tee times through our CourtReserve on-line scheduling utility, the link to which is available on our Club Website (www.mvccvt.com). In addition, Brian Titus and his outstanding team will be staffing the Pro Shop commencing Monday, May 1, at 10 A.M. and will be available to answer your questions as they arise. If you have purchased our club storage option, you can bring your clubs over at any point after that time.

Those of you who spent time in the Northeast over the last six months will know that this has been one strange winter! A relatively warm and dry winter ended with loads of snow in March, followed by a warm and wet April, with rainfall as much as 40% above average (including 2” overnight on April 22-23). All this has left standing water that slows down normal course clean-up activities and causes our clay courts to be a bit “soupier” than we normally hope for in late April. Rain also is forecast for much of the next week, so we will be deciding whether to allow play, and whether to permit motorized carts on the course, on a day-to-day basis. Please feel free to call the Pro Shop at 1-802-533-7477 to confirm course and court conditions, as well as cart availability, prior to your arrival. Alternatively, you may leave a message or send us an email ([email protected]) and we’ll respond to your question as soon as we can.

Thanks in advance for your patience and considerate forbearance as we complete the work necessary to get your Club ready for your enjoyment.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Mountain View!

Opening Day 2022

/in , /by

Mountain View is pleased to announce that opening day at the course will be on May 7.  Tennis will be announced soon!

Mother nature has cooperated this April, but there remains areas of the course where the soil temperatures are still too low and we will need those temperatures to come up to 54 degrees to protect the turf on the greens before they come out of dormancy. Please do your best to follow all instructions for play.


Spring permits are also available for purchase for an extra long Spring season! Learn more about the Spring permits here. For day visitors, please find the fee schedule here.

President’s Letter – Winter 2021

Dear Fellow MVCC Members,

Greetings from Mountain View!  I hope this finds you and your loved ones safe and well during these challenging times.  Snow is deep on the ground in Greensboro but preparations for our 2021 season are well underway.  As always, we plan to open in mid-May once we are clear of snow and ice.  While concern regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect it is having on our family and personal affairs remains paramount, improvements shown in recent public health data, as well as the ongoing administration of coronavirus vaccines, gives one hope. 

Last year presented many challenges for MVCC but, with the support and good-natured understanding of our members, we succeeded in offering golf and tennis activities with relatively little interruption.   In fact, golf and tennis play in 2020 by our members increased by 28% and 19%, respectively, over 2019, and over 900 individual members, guests and visitors took advantage of the opportunity to engage in safe outdoor activities at Mountain View.

Welcome to the 2020 season at Mountain View Country Club!

No written procedures can possibly address the full range of circumstances that may arise in the daily operation of a golf, tennis and social club.  We all must therefore follow a golden rule:

When in doubt, take the safer course of action!
