Mineral Springs Disc Golf Course Overview
Mineral Springs is Seattle’s tight, technical option. The course occupies about four acres inside an old arboretum, so fairways are short, defined, and close to one another. Missed lines often mean tree kicks rather than lost discs, which keeps the round moving. Shared baskets and dual tees create 18 distinct looks without long transitions between holes. The locals keep clear next-tee cues and a current map, making first-time navigation straightforward despite the compact routing. If you like controlled putter and midrange golf with the occasional fairway driver, this loop is your lane.
