The lack of geese control has completely destroyed this golf course. It was really disgusting walking through all the geese scat that is everywhere including the greens. There is hardly any grass left around the greens and in the fairways.

I have been playing this course in the winter for over 25 Years. Because they allow the golf carts to drive anywhere they want YEAR ROUND the fairways have very little grass. This has also had a impact on how the course drains. This is still one of the best winter courses around, but is getting worse each winter because of their CART RULES. They have no cart paths only or 90 degree rules year round. I played yesterday and the 5-some in front of my group had 5 CARTS!

Our group showed up to play our Golf Now Tee Time only to find out their groundskeeper made a last minute decision to Aerate the front 9 Greens that morning? After talking with the staff at 3 Rivers I learned that they were not happy with Golf Now over the way T Times were being Booked.

Mint Valley in the top ten winter course in the area. The day I played it was 62* and sunny. The greens were soft and bumpy and due to poor cart management the course was pretty muddy in a lot of areas. My biggest disappointment was NO RUNNING WATER in the on course bathrooms! Their excuse was old pluming and cold weather.

This course is great June thru October. Because there are no cart paths it turns into a muddy cow field during the rainy season. The carts are destroying this course!

Not a good winter course, lots of mud & goose scat.

I love the condition of all the golf course, but THE GREENS. The putting surface is very poor. Also the wind is very strong in this area. If not for the green condition, this would be a top 5 winter course.
