you can use this course to learn all differnt lyes sidehills
the course is in fair cond. it needs more grass in fairways. the greens are in good shape. it is a resort course so play is slow.
Need better maintenance!!
Decent value, but course conditions were below average!! Greens were extra slow and fairway grass were long... other than than that it's great for very beginners...club house needs major renovations.. bathroom and pro shop are disgusting!!
people are friendly at the coarse.
it is a 9 hole coarse only. great course challenging in some ways.
Great time!
Course is a beautiful looking course with lots of short holes. Great greens (fast) with lots of undulations. Tree-lined so you must be accurate.
Enjoyable and a great value!
Playing Minerals was an enjoyable experience. The course is challenging enough without being overwhelming. It is well maintained among the beautiful local scenery. Add in the reasonable cost through Golf Now and you can't beat it!
Good for cheap, first time or family outing.
I booked this course because it was really cheap for 18 holes. It was $22 for 2 people to play 18 holes with a cart. Not a bad deal for someone that has never played before.
The course itself isn't bad. It's short, a par 61 and is only 9 holes. The tee boxes weren't in the best of shape, many were not flat either. The greens and fairways were pretty good.
I will say this about the course, however, even for a beginner or a veteran, this course is HARD! Even if you hit a short on the fairway, you could be on a hill or slope that is impossible to hit.
Another negative about the course was the sand traps. They were like concrete. I know it had rained a few days before, but they did not look raked in a long time.
Overall, the course is not bad. It's challenging, pretty clean, and you cannot beat the price. I would not play there again, but for some it might be a great way to learn the game and still have money left to not feel guilty about the time spent.
Very slow probably due to it being a resort course with many beginners especially on a weekend.
Very slow probably due to it being a 9 hole resort course with many beginners on a weekend, try it during the week.
The course is short but not easy
Fairways could use some care, the greens were in good shape but slow. Overall for the price it's a good course to get some swings in.
For the money, its tough to beat
Not the most meticulously maintained course, but overall no complains. Ill go back
Surprisingly challenging!
the course is a 9 hole a hilly course. Getting on the green is the challenge .ie elevated greens and turning narrow fairways. While there are no par 5 holes, several par 4's play like par 5.
You wont find a better place to play for the money.
Great place to take your son or daughter who is learning to play the game. There are actually two flags on each green, one which is yellow with a ten inch hole for the child and the other which is regular for the parent.
An okay course but requires attention.
Challenging house. Lots of water, bunkers, tight fairways, and steam beds. But greens and tees require maintenance. Super price/value.
Great beginner course
Brought a friend who is starting to golf. Course was perfect for her. More advanced players are better off playing another of the Crystal Springs Courses.
Could've been better, great bang for your buck though
I got the hot deal on golf now for 18 holes and a cart for $20 a person. Can't go wrong right? Well the greens aren't ready for play...I couldn't even put the ball...you putt left, the ball goes right...you put straight, the ball bounces like a super ball. I would've had a better chance kicking the ball into the hole the way these greens were...BUT it was $20 for 18 holes and cart so I guess that's a good deal? Fairways were ok, wasnt too crowded. Probably won't go back since I live an hour away.
great 9-holes
this course is very nice and beautiful 9-holes course.
This course great value for the money
The course is in great shape,we maintained fairways and greens; play moves rather well and greens can be challenging.
Great Starter Course
I love this course because I never feel pressure to keep my pace up. It's a great family course. Are for the price you can't beat it!
Good course to learn on
Brought my daughter who is a beginner. She felt very comfortable as the course was not crowded and not intimidating.
