Mediocire

What a disappointing course. I read all of the reviews prior that made this sound like such a great course but was more than let down. They keep zero maintenance on this course. They say it is 18 holes but it is really 9 holes that you will play twice and will not refund you if you don't play the 9 holes again. They implement 0 rules as they allowed groups of 5+ to play and it more than ruined the pace of the game. I wouldn't recommend this course to my worst enemy.

Not to bad for what you pay but the course is nothing super special. Greens are slow, tee boxes aren't great.

Worst money ever spent

Let me start by saying this course did not even have hole number posts. After finding the 1st hole, it was soon than I had realized the course is a complete waste of money, par 3. DO NOT play here unless you are bringing your kids or a family out. Not for serious play.

Bang for the buck

This is a very well maintained track and a great value for you dollar. The only thing you must remember is that this course is part of a resort and therefore a "family" course. Pace of play can be rather slow at times. With a Golfnow Best Buy it's well worth you time.

Well maintained. Some challenging holes

We enjoyed our round. Course was well maintained. Greens were somewhat fast. Did not enjoy the foot golf customers playing at the same time on the same holes. Some challenging holes. Pace of play was average at best. But overall was a good experience. Would definitely play Minerals again.

Foot Golf

Not only was the course of play very slow, foot golf players enjoyed a round simultaneously to our round. I didn't see one ranger check take a lap all morning. The course was in good condition though. I will never play another round of Golf at Minerals if they continue to have foot golf round playing at the same time

Decent course but wouldn't pay more than 30$

This is the third time playing this course and I had a good time playing, although it was one of the hottest days of the year. A little crowded but not to bad for a Sunday. The thing that really angered me and my buddies off was that they had a wedding there and the event hall has a balcony overlooking the 9th hole which you play twice; only a 9 hole course. There was probably 10-15 people watching us tee off and being extremely loud and obnoxious. I wouldn't usually care but it was a big distraction and made me never want to play here again.

Tightly Lined Course

We played this 9 hole course twice. It was a good course for my wife as a second year player. I found it odd on the very first that two flags were on the green and didn't know which one to go for. I'm still not certain what the second flag was for, since it was about twice the nice as a normal hole. Neither the scorecard nor the Pro shop employee shed any light on the 2nd flag. My guess is that it was for junior players. There is also a footgolf element to this course, although I didn't see anyone playing it.

The green were undulating, neither fast or slow in speed. I had no trouble getting out of the traps with decent sand, neither too hard or too soft. Water is in play on a couple of holes, including a mostly carry par 3 hole of average distance.

We actually came back two days later to play again. This time we had an unexpected sighting of a black bear and her cubs. I think it was the same black bear and cubs we saw a few other days at the nearby mountain cottages we were staying. I hit a bad tee shot to the location the bear were at and chose to drop and hit elsewhere on that hole.

Mother's Day

Took my wife out to play. Course was in pretty good shape, but the pace of play was extremely slow. A foursome with two kids in front of us and a foursome in front of them that was being held up by three women. Could have been a great day had someone from the facility kept the pace up.

Great view but not good maintenance

It is 9 holes and 3 different holes on green. It looks like new season open at resort area. It maybe good for beginner and junior golfer.
