Mint Valley Golf Course

After significant rainfall, our foursome played Mint Valley.
Tee boxes were a bit beat up, fairways were OK. And playable.
Greens were very nice. The conditions are to be expected in the middle of winter.
No fault of the course operators.

I play Mint year roundbut I focus on it in the winter for its playability during wet weather.

I enjoyed playing here this morning. The Course is in excellent condition. Ive never been pushed so hard by old dudes riding in carts behind me in my life. Haha they weren’t messing around. Felt a little rushed but that’s what happens when you get a tee time at 7:30 am on a Tuesday. You get the old locals who don’t mess around. Lol. I had a great time.

I was completely surprised that the course was in such great shape this far into the season.

Interesting course in very good condition. Would play here again.

Haven't played there in at least a decade and was absolutely delighted with the quality/design of the course. It's great fun to play testing all facets of your game. I feel like I used all the clubs in my bag to get through it. I'll be back!!

This is a nice course with lots of grass. Playing mostly in the plains of the Midwest, grass is hard to find. Greens were great and the staff was super friendly. That's nice to see. Traveling the country I see a bunch of courses closing and I see a direct correlation between how courses treat their customers and how long they stay open. I'll definitely be back.

I understand there are other people who are a lot quicker than others playing the game, but you also have beginners that wanna learn and for the staff to drive around and tell golfers that the group isn’t too far behind us makes us feel rushed and cause even more delays potentially. Other than that I enjoyed the course and everything it had to offer.

Well let's just say and takes me one hour to get to Wear Valley from my House that should say enough

First time playing Mint Valley, wanted to play somewhere new the weekend of Thanksgiving and found a deal at Mint Valley.

The course was in pretty good condition considering the amount of water we saw going into the weekend. The course was fair with some challenging holes.

Lots of choices to make off the tee in order to set yourself up for the second shot. It was challenging without it being punishing.

Great course to play. They always keep the course in great shape. The course drains water very well so you never have huge water issues. Its layout is great for beginners and still hard enough for low handicappers

I've played here many times. Lately it appears they have allowed more folks on and it's been getting more backed up. On November 1, 2020 the weather was perfect. We noticed there was no starter (so this should probably have tipped us off we might run into trouble). We were a 2-some and started promptly at 12:45. Once we reached number 2 tee, the 2-some in front of us were already waiting and asked if we'd like to join them which we did. We still were waiting but only a few minutes each hole. On the turn we noticed a group that had been two holes in front of us were now right in front and were waiting to tee off. Our friends had left so we were back to a 2-some. Every hole 10-15, was a long wait. The 4-some in front of us were waiting and so on and so on. So it didn't appear to be a function of slow play rather there were just too many folks on the course. Finally at 17 we just gave up as there were two groups waiting! As we drove off we saw that on the 18th tee there was a 5-some playing. Not sure if that was an attempt to consolidate in order to try and move faster or what but it was a bummer that such a beautiful day didn't turn out to be a great round.

I hope MV can put more focus on managing the flow as it's a great course and a good value with nice people but if this continues I think it will rectify on its own as folks simply will choose to stop coming.

Cost is probably too low for quality of course. If you have played here over the years the course is now significantly more playable and in way better conditions than in past. Manager/Pro is very attentive, professional, and approachable with questions and suggestions.

Pace was quite slow today. This coming from a bogey+ golfer. 4 some stuck behind 2-2somes without the ability to pass. Sand all over the greens.

Very friendly laid back atmosphere. Folks on the course are very courteous.
