Crystal Lake Golf Club

This was the third time we played the course and each time the play was so slow it was agonizing. For the second time we had a fivesome in front of us. No ranger to be found anywhere on the course. Nice course but unfortunately, the play was just too slow. Five hours and we did not even finish the 18 holes.

First time playing here. Great shape,, excellent layout and very friendly staff.

Could not play. Hurricane Henri. I should get refunded all fees

Had a 6:09 am tee time, arrived at 5:55am. Checked in with the pro shop. No carts were out yet, so i had to wait for them to bring me one from the garage, no biggie. Got the cart loaded, took a few putts on the practice green which was conveniently right next to the tee box on 1. Tee'd off right at 5:09. Played the first 3 holes fairly quickly and then ran into two groups in front of me. Kind of odd for a 6:09 tee time. 1st group let me play through after the 6th hole. The second group did not. I passed them at the turn. Mildly annoying but tolerable. The course itself was in great shape. Fairways were beautiful, bunkers all raked (a little hard for my liking but not unplayable) and the greens were fairly fast and rolling well. The layout was interesting, the straight holes had fairway bunkers right in the 230 to 250 yard area making you think about carrying them up laying up and taking a longer approach shot. The green side bunkers combined with narrow fairways approaching the green make accuracy imperative on the course. None of the holes are very long, but there are a few tricky dog legs that again make shot selection and accuracy very important. All the par 3s were cart path only. along with maybe 4 or 5 of the longer holes. Over all a good experience and i will most likely return again, even though this course is 50 minutes from where i live

The staff is great , the course is great shape, i always get treatied very well.

We had a partner show up late abs the course staff was willing to drive him to catch up. We were just on the green of the first hole and he waited to allow him to tee off and play the hole also.

This is a nice course for the money. Conditions were good, staff was friendly and the Tavern is very good too. We were given a rain check for the back 9, no questions asked. I will definitely be going back again.
