Crystal Springs Resort, known as the third largest golf resort in the world, welcomes golfers of all ages with two family-friendly courses.

Minerals and Cascades Golf Courses at Crystal Springs Resort offer seasonal fun for every member of the family, with rates starting at just $18 per person. Apart from the affordable pricing, these family-friendly courses offer 4-seater golf carts, oversized cups, special junior tees, children’s club rentals and special menus featuring kid-friendly food and drinks.

Family Golf is a way Crystal Springs is welcoming a larger audience onto the fairways.

“Most golfers see that the survival of the sport hinges on kids growing into adults and playing for the love of the game,” said Art Walton, Crystal Springs vice president for golf operations. “Getting started is the first step.”

Located at the base of Hamburg Mountain, the course is highlighted by a mountainside layout measuring over 2,305 yards and manicured bentgrass fairways.

Cascades is the Resort’s newest course, designed by nationally renowned golf course architect Roger Rulewich of The Golf Group. Measuring 3,627 yards, the course’s design stresses playability and features junior tees to make the course more enjoyable for those new to the game. Both Minerals and Cascades provide advanced players a true challenge, while families enjoy the benefits of the Resort’s specialized age-relevant programs.

Additionally, both Minerals and Cascades Golf Courses offer FootGolf. Two sports rolled into one, FootGolf is one of the most popular sports sweeping the nation. The precision and power found in both golf and soccer is combined to create one amazing playing experience.
