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.
Great course
Second time playing this course and it was well worth it
Great value and a lot of fun.
1. There are No hole sign with yardage. So you don’t track down how many hole you have been played? Then you’re lost. Make white to get rangefinder for this place because there are no yardage mark. You have to guess. For example) you don’t know you’re hitting par 5 or par 4. Obviously, you could easily identify par 3 HOWEVER, you have to guess the yardage for that par 3. There are no hole sign with yardage.
2. Confusing!!!! First they have foot golf hole with white flag middle of every hole. This is not dedicated golf corse. They are combined with foot golf. So I guess some season they are doing food golf???
And on the green. There are 2 flags all the time. One flag is for regular golfers. And other flag is for junior golfers. They are different color flag but still, every single hole has two flags. And one with jr. Flag has bigger sized putting hole for junior players. Yes, I guess it’s family friendly course. So!!! Every hole has 3 things going on. Food golf flag, junior player flag, and regular golf flag. Three thing combined into each hole.
3. Golf cart’s break doesn’t work well. They would need to maintain the golf cart better. Also, that 4 people riding cart on every website they have? The guy told me they only have one. So if someone is already riding it then you’re out of luck for that 4 people golf cart.
4. The course are built inside the condo. So you re playing condo that people live. So if you don’t careful. You could break the window or disturb people who actually live there.
Thanks!

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.
