About this course
Mineral Springs Park packs an old arboretum's worth of trees into four acres — a very technical, very short course where 18 holes play at par 54 across manicured pathways. It's the Seattle course that proves you don't need length to need accuracy.
Free to play with concrete tees and Mach 3 baskets, the course winds through and around the trees with dual tees and dual baskets on several holes. Newly boundaried and well maintained, it's a favorite for lunch-break rounds and putter practice.
Bring a putter, a midrange, and a lot of patience. Every hole is a corridor, and every corridor is tighter than it looks.
Hole 15 is the longest at Mineral Springs at 321 feet — still a par 3, still tight, but the one hole where the arboretum's trees demand your full attention from tee to basket. It's the perfect summary of the course: short on paper, sneaky in person, and deeply rewarding when you thread the needle.
