Mint Valley Golf Course

Tee time was delayed and first nine holes took 2:15 mins which for length of course is poor

This is partly due to the class of golfer playing in the 2 groups ahead

As they appeared to have no idea of golf etiquette

Great time had by all. Greens were in great shape and rolling swift. Played 18 in just under 4 hrs. So pace was great.

Golf now posted green fee was $12.00. Fee charged at course was $20.00. Still a good deal but not what I was expecting.

They raised the cups so we didn’t have to handle the flags. Good idea.

The course, facilities, and pro shop operations staff get 5 stars in my book. Can’t find a better course for the price. Maintenance crew does a solid job A+.... That being said, if you are a man or woman that can absolutely nuke a golf ball I recommend you buy a large plot of land and cut some trees down rather than testing out that brand new Taylormade on this designated area they provide for such activities, titled “driving range”. Here You’ll find targets, pins, greens, and even a football goal post to aim at. Fun range. You might also notice that they have nets (almost) surrounding the range to protect people and equipment from slices, hooks, shanks, etc. What you won’t see is a net that protects the back fence and the maintenance shed but most importantly the houses and traffic along 42nd Avenue. Long hitters beware. Hit a Long straight tee shot and get the reward of finding yourself in legal trouble with a home owner. Perhaps you’d like to play it safe and aim to the right a bit... no way kimosabi. The maintenance shed may just be a metal box but the treasure hiding beyond this region is the real danger, in the form of a gun metal gray Toyota Tacoma owned by the maintenance head honcho and last years runner up in the Club tourney. I’ve seen him fly across the range and get into somebodies face just to let them know how well they hit a golf ball... Long hitters are people too, and they pay just like everyone else to enjoy the facility and work on their game. if they can’t afford to put up a net on the back of the driving range we should start the maintenance crew a GoFundMe page to see this through. ≈$500 dollar solution. The game is evolving, tee shots aren’t getting any shorter and if this issue isn’t solved I’m afraid that conflict is inevitable.

Three Rivers is a good value on a hot deal. Among the most playable on the west side of the Cascades in the winter as it was built on ash dredged from the bordering Cowlitz river after Mt. St. Helen's blew. Very open and forgiving. The par 4 number 9 hole is in my opinion the most chalenging test in the area as it requires a well placed drive and a precision 2nd shot to a good sized green resting above a sizable waste hazard. As a low handicapper I'm always satisfied when I par The rare bird feels like an eagle. Though I play other local courses more often, Three Rivers is my go to for practice facilities.

Slow play today, most lIkely due to the beautiful weather. Carts on path only made for a long day, but it was worth it!

Mint Valley has become my first choice in local golf courses. Always friendly staff, and great course conditions, even in the changing weather. Looking forward to some memorable winter golfing.

Rain in the PNW is a fact this time of year. Several holes had a lot of standing water on the fairways. I understand that drainage has been improved in the past couple of years but appears to need more work. I’ve played this course over a dozen times in the past 2 years and like it very much but can’t handle heavy rains we’ll.

Love playing this course! Has challenges that push me more(which I need)! Staff are always friendly & inviting!

Fun course with an interesting layout. Some tight holes and some wide open holes. Nice mix of water hazards and bunkers. Not brutal, but challenging enough to keep you thinking. I played a terrible round but I really enjoyed the course. Will definitely visit again. Very busy on the day that I went. Played it on the Hot Deal and it was worth every penny.

The current management has greatly improved the course. People are rediscovering the course. Lots of couples on the course today. Greens are in great shape.
