Poor drainage makes for slow play

I played with a foursome that started at 10:40. It had not rained for 3 days but the course was finally trying to cut some grass. The rough was 6+ inches and impossible to find balls. Round took almost 5hrs due to constant searching for balls. Cost us $55 with a cart seemed to expensive for conditions. Greens had lots of deer hoof damage and a temp green for #3.

Overall feedback

This is a good value golf course specially during twilight rate. Good layout , fantastic views , full length par 4s and 5s and well maintained greens. The only downside are the first cut grass around the greens and along the fairways. Grass is quite long with a lot of white flowering . This makes looking for the balls very challenging. 1-2 feet off the fairway or green and your ball is below the grass cutline already.

Figure it out

Booking tee times at intervals that don't ruin everyone's experience isn't hard to do. Every other course can figure it out. Chrystal Springs, for one reason or another, can't handle it. 4 groups backed up on the second tee. Completely unacceptable. And that I'd pretty much par for the proverbial course at this establishment. Which is a shame because the layout is awesome and with better management and a new clubhouse this course would be a gem.

Wet but no alligator

Half of the green was little too wet. Fairways weren't any better. It's not a good golf course to play when it's wet..

It suits my eyes.

Like this course. Friendly staffs. Clubhouse looks rundown with small restrooms. But clean. This is a busy course with a lot of locals. But they seem to know to keep up with the pace. With all foursomes in front we finish the round in 4.20 hrs. That is really good. One hour drive to this course, two hours to get back because of traffic. We didn’t mind. Will comeback again.

Slow....

Purchased a Costco voucher and set up a tee time for a Saturday @ 1030. Right off the bat noticed that groups were lined up and time slots were only 5 minutes apart. The course was nice but nothing special. total time we were there was 6.5 hours and time played about 5.5 hours

Great sunrise golf session!

I see a lot of negative reviews about the pace of play. But I’d have to say the course was incredible and if you go off at sunrise like we did, the pace is super fast. We were 2 I’m a cart, and there were 2 seniors walking behind us on our tail the whole time, and the folks behind them were also cruising.

From a beauty standpoint, I’m not sure you can beat the sunrise views at this place. Deer everywhere and morning fog sitting on the mountain are hard to beat.

We did have one funny incident where one of the grounds crew was moving the hole locations. With his headphones still in, he walked up and moved the hole that my partner was putting to. No greeting, no good morning, and no acknowledgement that he literally plugged the hole that my partner had just chipped within 4 feet of. My partner pitted into his equipment with a rye smile just to prove the point. Good coaching moment for his management!

Nice golf course.

This was a challenging round of golf due to the wind; otherwise, weather conditions were perfect. The course itself is challenging due to the rolling terrain & strategically located bunkers. The course provides beautiful views of the area.

Special Back 9

Challenging, no flat lies, some fairways and landing spots are narrow. Theres something to be said for this back nine, it's gettable but it can eat alive as well. Each hole is unique. Greens were in good shape

6 hour round minimum

For $85 this course is not worth it. Bad spacing betweeen tee times means 2 groups on tee boxes every time. 30 minutes delay at prime golf hour and the round was 5.5 hrs, 6hrs total.....course is okay but not for the price. Never again.
