Crystal Springs Golf Club

It was a very hot day. 94 high! With a lot of sweat, it was difficult to play but we enjoyed the course very much.

Played last weekend. Great shape/layout. I would suggest playing from the blues (middle) unless you're a beginner. If you play from the whites you will be hitting mid irons to wedges all day, which can get old. Awful 5.5 hour pace which I could live with sometimes but not one ranger was seen the entire day which is unacceptable. Would still play again. Have this pace problem often at the crystal springs groups of courses actually.

A great course, a lot of challenging holes and picturesque views. Course was in great condition, even with all the rain the night before.

This course contains a hole on the back nine that is one of the coolest designs I've ever played. Two hundred foot cliff is the tee box and you are warned not to go too close to the edge because it's a shear drop. The course is littered with condos which detracts. On arrival we were approached and helped by staff with our bags. On check in I was asked if I was a member and how would I like to pay. I had already paid through Golf Now and gotten an excellent rate for Fathers Day. We saddled up and approached the starter, problem was there was no starter. He was MIA. Again, other staff called him twice on the radio and 10 minutes later he shows up. They weren't busy. There's a menu on hole 7 to order however there's no phone. The cart girl was very pleasant as were the girls in the Halfway House. I'm thinking management doesn't seem too concerned about service. That we basically paid half price for the round I'm not complaining, however had I paid full price I would have felt shorted. It is an amazing course, granted. If you are a decent golfer you will have fun.

Presumably I paid just $29 as a single to fill a 3 some but they were late so ended up playing by myself. Once the 4 some ahead let me play thru I had the course to myself and got a lot of practice in. Crystal Springs is an amazing course, every hole is different and the 11th has the only green in the world where you can hit the green but still not see the pin.

Crystal was in great shape except for two issues: The sand Traps were horrible. Little sand, and they don't look like they've been maintained. They need to use the little riding machines to grrom them and add sand. Very poor. Second issue was that on about 4 or 5 holes, the pin location did not match the pin placement chart. But the rest of the course was in great shape. Very challenging design on each hole.

Crystal Springs is an excellent golf facilities. The course is in excellent condition. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

The course is a nice challenge for seasoned golfers. Fairways are tight and not flat so they make you think of the next shot always. Greens were in good shape. I would play again..3 hr drive for me. I was behind people that should not have been playing the course which resulted in a 5 hour round. Traps were not raked by anyone.

There are lots of houses in the course and the cart path goes sometimes between houses....The surrounding mountains are a real pleasure for the eyes.
It took us 5 hours non stop to finish the 18 holes

The first time I played Crystal Springs GC it was a match against two very good golfers/members. I had never seen the course and shot 79 from the back tees to win. It took me years to shoot 79 there again (lol). That day I played conservatively from the tee, hitting 3w, hybrids and long irons to put the ball best as possible, into the middle of the biggest part of tee shot landing areas... taking longer clubs into middle of greens. Hitting a 5 iron left of green on 16 behind a huge mogul was a tough spot. I picked out a cloud to hit to, because from that spot no part of the flag was in view and flopped from the thick rough to 2 feet, straight toward the water of the back right pin., tapping for another unlikely par.
This fantastic course will challenge you every time with uneven lies, even in fairways after good shots, water hazards, beautiful design and fast, multi-tiered greens. The signature par 3 quarry hole is stunning w/ 80 ft drop. Great finishing holes with long and narrow 17th green and 3 tiered 18th green.
Crystal Springs GC is a unique gift to those who can stay patient, not too greedy off the tee and those who are looking for a challenging golf adventure.

Course was in great shape very challenging very challenging pin placement. Great time

Course was great, one complaint is they had the sprinklers on for most of the time, my tee time was 10:30

I find this course dose not always reward a good shot.

Can't beat the price at this great a course when playing twilight. Would recommend to everybody

It's a great course but needs to recover a bit from the harsh winter this year...the greens are still pocked and sandy from aeration in Fall so putting was a bit tough.

Course had 6-somes allowed yes, that is 6 player combinations. Needless to say it was beyond slow. And the ranger did not do much at all stopping this. Finally got ahold of the pro-shop after I called my wife to go in and see them and a pro came out to break up at least one.

In addition, for some holes, there were two three-somes ahead of us that sometimes combined into a three some. There's a halfway house between 7 and 8 the threesome just in front of us stopped and ate lunch there. we passed them and went to next tee (8) nobody we could see on fairway up to green. So we teed off. after we had reached our balls, other threesome came to tee and got upset. We finished 8 quickly and were waiting for 9 (two groups on the tee waiting). Three some came up and started threatening several of us for playing thru them. Outright antagonistic One player in our foursome offered to let them play thru since we were waiting anyway. They wouldn't do that, instead heckling and generally being difficult. Got to 10 and they started in again. I got a ranger to come and he did nothing but did get them to play thru us again so they were with their "friends" so they could play again as a 6-some. Ranger did NOTHING else. It took 3:45 to play first 11+ holes. Finally quit and went back to front nine and swept right thru (1 hour for 8 holes).

Major leave problem and still has (like it had all year) aeration issue on greens. Nice decent course if in shape and rangers do anything but with things like this, I wonder.

Doesn't allow walking at all by anyone.

Played here many times, greens were in bad shape. They aerated the greens way too late in the year, I would guess it was within the last couple of weeks and they're sandy, bumpy, and slow. Not sure if they'll come in smooth this year since it's already mid November and the cold is coming. But I'm sure they'll be back to great conditions next year.

Played this course in mid October and the greens were being Air rated. Also almost all the fairways were covered with leaves making it very tough to find tee shots. Other than this the course was in great shape. Great scenery, great layout, love the 11th hole. The down side of my round was a slow 4some ahead of my 4some and when I got to the 11th hole a single rider jumped in front of my group. He came out of a house and started playing, also the Rangers were driving around but they did not do anything about this or to speed up. I teed off at 1:51 and played the 18th hole in darkness around 6:30. Besides this, it was a great round on a beautiful course, I got a golf now deal for $42. I would not pay anymore than $42 for this course in the fall, however I played here once in the late morning in the summer and it was a great round. I would defiantly play here again in the spring and I would recommend it to anyone who loves golf, it's a challenging course with the front 9 as a par 37 and a lot of blind shots and thick rough however there are many opportunities to score.

Great course, challenging holes, took some time adjusting to the "mogul" like fairways. Love the scenery especially from the second hole of the classic, a huge drop off par 3 hole. Got a great deal and enjoyed the round. Will definitely come back.

Despite raining the night before the course was in great shape. Played the villages and classic course. Found course to be challenging with most lies not being the same, as in flat. Beautiful scenery made the day that much better. Will play this course again. Enjoyed Classic hole 2 off the granite cliff.
