Really going downhill
I have played here frequently years ago. This was the first time I had played in a few years. The course has really been let go. Fairways were dry and under watered. Greens are starting to grow weeds and some with bare spots. Tee boxes are scattered with old broken tees and the ground was so hard I couldn't get a tee in the ground without breaking.
Don't waste your money.
Nice 9 holer
Nice 9 hole course. Not crowded, we’ll kept greens and faireways
You get what you pay for
Should have known, but I needed to try it once.
Worth $24.
Good for new golfers who need practice.

Great value and a lot of fun.

Outstanding
A good outing
This was my first time out this year due to a broken back surgery. 9 holes was just the right amount. Course was in good shape.

After waiting over twenty minutes I finally found the employee parking a cart. I figured since I paid in full online that I would be able to grab cart. He said it would be an add’l $10 and I needed to check in inside. My friend and I just looked at each other and followed him. After saying he will take the loss and take it up with you, we asked for a second cart. He said no as it was just the two of us. I told him we are charged $10 each so if we were willing to pay for it, what difference would it be? He then said that he was too busy and couldn’t spare the cart. Really??? We had the place to ourselves outside of maybe six other golfers. Very skeptic and will have second thoughts in booking here in the future.
Great place for players learning the game.
My wife is just learning to play, and has graduated from pitch and putt to a more authentic golf experience. Minerals is a great place for players that are making that transition. Plenty of obstacles for a fun challenge, but not enough to create a frustrating experience. Most hole lengths are short enough for those who are still learning how to strike for distance, while the blue tees offer enough yardage for seasoned players to break out the longer irons, and an occasional wood. The tee boxes, fairways and greens have all been in great shape the two rounds we have played there. We will definitely be back.
PS. If you hit the ball to the right on the 4th green, don't go get it unless you want to get yelled at by a crazy old dude. Our playing partner was berated quite vehemently for accidentally slicing his tee shot toward the condos.
First time playing here. Nice course for me and my son who is learning the game. Starter is fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Great views, course in very good shape.
No signs on course
Loved the course as I am a starter and allows me to be aggressive and not fear losing balls. Lots of bunkers but it sure beats water lol. Only wish there were some markings either at the holes or on the pathways
Great practice course
This course is a great place to work on some iron shots. Greens weren't amazing and some bunkers had rock issues but other than that a nice little course.
Disappointed
Got their no carts had a reservation had to wait,
Sand traps no sand, Rocks,
No supervision at the course, no rangers other golfers driving on greens with cart, tried to call the clubhouse to inform no answer, Have been here before, was good, now you can see they are not taking care of course very shameful, very disappointing
