About
While it hasn't received as much publicity as the other Hill Country tracks since it opened around 1990, Crystal Falls Golf Club is definitely worthy of praise. Highlighted by one of the greatest par 3s in Texas and some outstanding topography, this is one of those courses you'll want to play at least once, if only for the views. In addition to the scenery, the main thing everyone talks about here is the severely sloping fairways that provide problems for those who hit the ball left-to-right. The famous par 3 in question is the 192-yard 11th, featuring a phenomenal view and a 200-yard drop to the green. Club selection is a crap-shoot at best, and the green is surrounded by mounds.

Golfer Reviews
Challenging course
I enjoyed playing the course. Management was very friendly. The course was busy. I did not see a starter or Marshall all day. There were a few times when One would’ve been helpful.
The really were only two issues that I had with the course. The first one others have mentioned, which is the condition of many of the greens. There is some type of invasive grass that is ruining the greens. I’d like to say that’s the reason that it added 10 strokes to my game. The other issue is the barriers to keep the carts off sections of the fairway. For example, number one fairway you cannot get on it with a cart. It does not say cartpath only. So, when your ball sits to the left side of the fairway, you’re playing cart path only with two foursome’s breathing down your back. This happened on several fairways. If they would notify you at check-in it would make it a lot less frustrating.
Other than that, it was a great day playing golf.

Enjoy course with lots of challenges- course greens not good as overseeding and sand on greens
Got a great deal, really nice area, interesting hole designs
Affordable test of golf
Great city course . Hilly and scenic. Good test for the average golfer. Staff is great. Always enjoy playing Crystal Falls.
Poor Condition
I played this course because I was in town on a business trip. The staff was friendly and accommodating in the clubhouse and out on the course. The layout is tricky and it's definitely a shot makers golf course. The course conditions were really poor. Fairways have a lot of weeds and grass growing in them. Greens are diseased and have some bare spots. Course could be something but needs a lot of TLC.
Poor service and experience
Long wait times for food and beverage. Sole bartender stocking up during shift. Waited 10 minutes for a golf cart and then the starter gave me a hard time and kept bumping my start time back because I was "late" even though bar and cart service pushed me back 15 minutes.
First two holes are brutal towards starting with a good pace of play.
Horrible experience
What i pay for at a golf course is the experience. The experience here was horrible. This is greed at its finest. Wasted 59$ to attempt to play at this course(the last money they will ever see from me). Expected me to know they have a no riders policy (more money if we can limit the carts). Left here and went to lions. They gave me a discount(compared to what i booked online)and didn't bother me about a cart fee or anything. Great experience at lions on the west side of Austin.
Crazy course
Definitely not a easy walking course. But overall fun considering some greens had been sanded and there were some inconsistencies but decent price.
6 hr rpund
Dreadfully slow. 6 hr round. It’s an interesting layout with some really pretty views. But…course was in marginal condition with crows foot that had taken over most of the greens. A little herbicide would go a long long way. Have played here several times but’s it’s definitely headed in the wrong direction. Sad really. Staff was friendly though.
Great afternoon choice
Fun, challenging course, with great elevation and lots of water holes. If you can hit them straight, you'll love it here. If , bring extra balls.
