Reviews of Toad Valley Golf Course

Loren Coburn

This was one of my 101 courses and it was a great course! Challenging and fun! Amazing layout definitely got to play some shots! Back 9 was a little tougher than the front! Staff was amazing. Course was in great shape and condition for the time of year too.

Mr. Danny Noonan

Been here a few times. Toad Valley Golf Course exceeded my expectations in many categories. Without parroting the 5 star reviews as I find them persuasive and align with my personal experience during my visits I find TVGC one of the higher tier course in the metro area. The staff were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. The starter was nice helpful and made sure golfers were moving along. The greens were mostly free of debris and very challenging. The well manicured tree lined fairways added another difficulty level. The holes are very challenging especially the Par 3 #7. The management team did a wonderful job keeping TVGC above the rest. Friendly staffs and challenging course, Overall Toad Valley Golf Course exceeded my expectations and hope to be a member next season.

We had an engagement party for our son and his fiancé in the Golfer’s Lounge and enjoyed the attached patio. Allison and her team were so helpful and accommodating. The venue is nice and the view is lovely. Thank you Toad Vally!

Nice course. Very slow pace of play however. I’m not sure if it was the people on the course hacking 20 yards per hit or if the tee times were too forced. Both can be true. Took an hour to get thru 3 holes.

Mr Krueger

Bit of rain near the start, but an otherwise relaxing afternoon out with the family. Returned after the front nine to find our truck battery had died. Caleb in the Clubhouse was quick to grab his personal vehicle and give us a jump. He went beyond the call and showed excellent service. Thanks!

John Johnson

Course is absolutely gorgeous. Looks like they put a great deal of work into maintaining the grounds. And I t’s a fun course to play. Mini golf is in solid shape. Lots of fun for the kids. Two stars because of the clubhouse being ridiculously slow. On a Friday with 1 1/2 people working (half because she wasn’t doing much besides standing around). Waited over half an hour in a line of four people to play some mini golf. When we got up to the counter, the lady picked up the phone and started chatting. Said nothing to us but “I’ll help you here”. After another 10 min we left. Went to Terrace Hills and was playing in 7 min. After a much larger line. Would love to come back if they can staff enough people to get customers out playing. Seems to be getting worse. Adjusted to 3 stars (because of the course itself) Staff was there. Just not doing anything. If I would have had a T time I would have been more upset. Glad it was just a family mini golf outing. I also noticed a lot of the reviews mention slow play. Perhaps getting people through the line and on the course would help.

Josh Becker

Excellent 18 hole experience. Facility also has a mini-golf course for the whole family as well as a kitchen and bar. Additionally, the facility boasts an amazing virtual golf simulator that really feels like the 'links'. Lastly the facility is expected to unveil a new, state-of-the-art driving range in Spring of 2022.

Mark Judge

The staff is wonderful and I always enjoy the course. Its not the longest course so the layout is set up to provide different challenges which i appreciate. The difference between this being a 5 star is the course was slow. There were a couple 5-somes out there and we had to wait on more tee boxes than I would prefer. All told its a fun time and, again, the staff is terrific. I'll be back.

Katelyn Wilkin

So much fun! They treated us like family and had the best homemade snacks!!! Thank you for a fun corporate outing!

Jamie Howard

Very nice course. Not to difficult but will still offer a challenge.

Caleb Struble

Aitlyn with a K gave outstanding service. She filled my water perfectly(Free, not $50). Amazing staff and great local course!

Ken Reed

Another awesome day at the Toad

Alexander VanDorpe

As my "home" course from 2009 - 2016, it was great to be back out today to play in a church outing! All the owners are real people, not corporate robots, and their staff follow this example to a T! Always a pleasure dealing with anyone who works there :) After several seasons of flooding, drought, and last year's Derecho, the course was surprisingly in great shape and a pleasure to play - keep it up grounds crew! I'm looking forward to many more rounds at Toad Valley in the near future and also the Simulator League this Fall!

Patrick McClain

Staff is always friendly. While a busy place you always have plenty of time on the miniature golf course. I take my son here multiple times during the summer. It's one of our favorite destinations. I wish they would install cameras though in order to capture great moments on the course like when I biffed it one time trying to get my sons ball out of the water. It was so funny. So much fun take your family today!!

jonah goforth

Played toad yesterday,3.25.20, and it was great! Had the piece of pool noodle in the cup ( for the Corona). It was soft out there but greener then I expected! Nice long course ,driver driver driver. Props to the grounds crews and clubhouse for being open. I needed the day away from everything and really enjoyed the round. I will be back!

Zach Oden

Great course, great prices, great staff. Love their specials offered online - pace of play of other golfers would by my only complaint. Usually takes our foursome over 5 hours due to groups in front of us.

Mike French

My wife and I had our wedding service using Toad Valley's indoor facility almost 2 months ago - it was a small and simple ceremony (nothing too extravagant). Choosing Toad Valley ended up working out fantastic! It was a perfect venue for what we needed. It was a pleasure working with Allison; she was generally quick to respond to questions. Plus her staff/family was very helpful with accommodating our needs and making it a very special and memorable day for us. Definitely a very pleasant and positive experience.

Eric

Nice course, often very reasonable rates. Not many water or OB hazards, but virtually every hole is tree-lined, so missing the fairway usually means trouble. Greens are smooth & relatively easy. I will say, the course would greatly benefit from being rolled, or some kind of turf management to even out all the bumps and holes. Parts of the rough & cart paths need some TLC. Nice local course though, for sure. Don't forget to touch the toad statue on hole #1 for luck.

James Culp

Great course and staff. I'm just disappointed in the way other golfers don't take care of their divots and ball marks on the green. We fixed at least 5 per green. If people want to keep the price down because it's very affordable they need to take care of these.

Brad Till

Fun course with lots of challenges. While I don't recall seeing any bunkers, there are plenty of side hill lies and up and down hill approach shots to challenge you. The greens are excellent. They are quick, but roll very true. Too bad people abuse them by failing to fix ball marks. Fixed an average of 3 on every green. Accuracy is at a premium. If you stray from the fairways you'll be in heavy woods or lose your ball in thick clover. Clubhouse and grounds staff were friendly. Golf is cheap, but anything in the clubhouse definitely is not. Would play again without question.

Andrew McReynolds

The golf course looks beautiful, staff was very helpful. The only issue I had is with the cart paths. For the most part they are completely destroyed and rutted up. they are so bad that if they don't fix them soon it will also destroy all the golf carts. They are getting completely beaten up by all the damage that they drive over.

Diana Irrgang

We always enjoy this course. It has some easy holes and some a bit tougher. for us but the layout is great and we enjoy the surrounding scenery and deer. Well we do take a cart, I do as much walking as I can We play this course as often as we can.

Joe Baker

Toad valley is a family owned well run golf course, i cant wait for our mens outing, thats always a great time. I give the staff a 5 star rating.

Josh Van Gorp

Staff was great!! I was by myself on the range and a staff member came by while cleaning up and offered pointers which really helped. Could tell the staff is knowledgable and passionate. Course is also a lot of fun and rates are very reasonable!

Mindy Valdez

Me and my 2 boys (14 & 12) play here and we love it! Easy and challenging course all in one. Nicely priced too. Make sure you rub the toad’s nose for good luck! 💚⛳️🐸 …

Susie Nikkel

Had our wedding and reception here last weekend and had an amazing experience. Allison and the staff were great to work with, very helpful and accommodating. I was very impressed and pleased and would strongly reccomend Toad Valley as a wedding venue to anyone looking for something beautiful yet affordable!

Judi DeMoss

Beautiful venue for a celebration! Staff was awesome and went way beyond to help make our party a huge success. I can't say enough good about Toad Valley!

Paula smith

Very accommodating to our group of 10. Nice clubhouse. Staff friendly and helpful. Greens are in good shape, fairways so so. Online booking was very easy.

Jamin Langtimm

It's a great corse even for someone like me who spent his afternoon there for only my second time golfing.

Derek Reusche

Nice golf course for a great price. Also a great choice if you want to be picked up and carried away by mosquitos. If you go after 5 pm, the course is literally unplayable due to the bugs,

Luis Correa

Fantastic family fun location, fun golf course that was in great shape last year when we stopped on vacation. Kids loved the Putt - Putt, wife loved the wine selection and Dad got to play golf - how good is that.

Doug Watson

We go for the driving range, it's great. Self service, lots of space, haven't played the course yet.

Rand Lanterman

Beautiful course great shape.

Daniel Suhr

I have always been a fan of this golf course. I have been a part of their Toad Valley Junior events, I have played many rounds of golf and mini golf there, and I have attended many parties in their event room. I am always happy with the staff here.

Angela Tonasket

They are so nice. The course was clean. There was plenty of room at the driving range and the people are just great@

Chloe McGrath

It was a fun mini golf outing. The place would be much better if the fountains were on (I don't think they had water from the storm though,) it was fun!!

Ron Kurtz

Fair Price and in good shape when played in June. Trees around pond on 10 are dangerous. Tough to see group ahead or group coming from 18 so could accidentally hit into them.

Murray McConnell

Very nice golf course. Very friendly staff that will make you want to come back.

Rick W.

Course is still in great shape after not having power for a week and losing a bunch of trees. Great crew Sweet track.

Carlene Hohl

Beautiful course, very friendly staff. Family owned business and reasonably priced.

Aaron Corry

Fun course with friendly staff! The bugs have been a little rough, but nothing can really be done about that. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Toad Valley is an excellent course, I apologize. I golfed at Terrace Hills in Altoona and it was no where near up to par with Toad.
