50th Anniversary Celebration
July 21st-July 27th, 2008
In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mountain View Golf Club, the Mercer County Park Commission has planned week-long specials, give-aways, and a golf outing highlighting the first Mercer County owned and operated golf course.
Aware of the need for recreational facilities for Mercer County residents, the Board of Freeholders on April 15, 1958 enacted a resolution establishing a Board of Recreation Commissioners consisting of five members. Senator Richard Coffee, the “father” of the Park Commission was the driving force behind the creation of the Mountain View Golf Club, which was also the original site of the Mercer Airport.
The Park Commission is planning a week-long celebration starting July 21st-culminating on Friday, July 25th with a special golf outing.

- Monday, July 21st-All golfers born between 1958 and 1949 (in their ‘50s) will receive a coupon for a free golf cart.

Course Information-Mountain View is a mature, 18 hole championship golf course which was opened in 1958. Mt View is open year round, seven days a week, weather permitting. The course measures 6117 yards from the regular tees and 6682 yards from the back tees with a par of 72. Mt. View is characterized by its natural terrain of rolling hills and valleys. The course is ideal for players of all abilities.
A new 10 stall practice range was recently constructed allowing golfers to hit irons up to 185 yards.
Since its grand opening on June 20, 2007, Mountain View’s new clubhouse has been solidly booked with golf outings, corporate luncheons, weddings and private parties. The 9,000square-foot clubhouse and pro shop were completed in 2007 after about 10 months of construction and replaced the course’s original clubhouse that was nearly 50 years old.
The new clubhouse at Mercer County’s Mountain View Golf Course has been recognized as one of the top clubhouses nationally by Golf Inc. magazine. The recognition by Golf Inc., the leading monthly golf magazine for golf course developers, owners, operators, and management company executives, puts Mountain View on par with 15 of the most prestigious and beautiful clubhouse facilities in the world. Mountain View was one of four runner-ups nationwide for the 2007 “Clubhouse of the Year” competition, which featured winners from golf-rich states such as Arizona and Florida.
