Holy Terror Mini Golf

Features a dramatic 50+ feet elevation change up a pine-covered hillside, making it one of the most topographically challenging mini golf courses with significant slope variations on more than half the holes
The course incorporates authentic gold mining theme elements including functional water features such as sluices, a water wheel, millpond, and rushing water that simulate historic mining operations
