Mint Valley Golf Course

Mint Valley's gently rolling terrain, a hallmark of Longview's landscape, was shaped in the mid-20th century, offering a classic parkland experience where mature trees frame generous fairways. The layout presents a playable challenge, favoring a strategic approach over sheer power; thoughtful placement is rewarded, particularly on the inward nine where subtle doglegs and well-guarded greens come into play. While Mint Valley isn't a regular stop for national championships, it remains a cherished venue for regional amateur events and local tournaments. The course owes its original design to a respected, though not nationally renowned, Northwest architect of the era, ensuring a layout that embraces the natural contours of the land. Over the years, subtle refinements have enhanced playability without sacrificing the course's inherent character. Locals note the enduring popularity of the club's Friday night scrambles, a tradition that binds the community and speaks to Mint Valley's friendly atmosphere. More than just a golf course, Mint Valley has, for decades, been the beating heart of Longview's golfing community. Post-round conversation often gravitates to the patio, where the "Mint Valley Melt," a locally celebrated burger, is as much a part of the experience as the back nine.
