Crystal Springs Golf Course

This course has the worst pace of play in the bay area. We teed off 45 minutes late even though the staff told us they were only 10 minutes behind. As compensation we were told they would only charge us the twilight rate, well that never went through. Another let down from crystal springs. My last time paying for this place.

I really didn't appreciate paying 80 bucks for a muni with saturated fairways and excruciating slow play. We had to leave after 11 holes. 4hrs into the round. (we made the turn in 3.2hrs.) Brutal. It's sad when you might miss an appt that started 6.5 hrs after the tee time. Thanks for taking my money, I will not be coming back.

The course overall is of moderate difficulty, but the vistas and views are delightful. Although the course is adjacent to a major highway, the noise was hardly noticeable. Recent heavy rains made much of the course boggy, but when dry should be in excellent shape. Course staff was very friendly.

It was a Saturday and the first stormy day in a long time. Started off rainy but it stopped but the wind was howling. We never thought we'd make 18 but we did and had a great day on the course.

The course is not in good shape. Tee boxes were not maintained well. Fairways are very patchy.

The green just got punched but that's ok since the staff was upfront about it. Overall not a good experience playing this course. Would not play here for a while.

Great rates, beautiful location, good pace of play. It's not Pebble, but for $22-50 its great.

wanted to play 18 but quit after nine holes which took 3 hrs to play. A tournament was going on which may explain the slow play but 3 hrs for 9 holes is ridiculous. Course was a little dry but the green were in great shape...some of the best that I have ever played on. Call ahead to avoid play on tournament days.

I like the lay out and almost perfect slopes relative to the greens . I will play here agin.

Good value for money. Course conditions were surprisingly good. Some holes present interesting challenges. Love the view of crystal springs reserve and mountains. Definitely coming back to play.

Pace of play was great for a 1030AM tee time on a Sunday. Course is in good shape and enjoyed the beautiful views. The general demeanor(staff & clientele) of the course is friendly and welcoming. Happy to give my money to this course again.

The fee wasn't bad, but a 5 hour round is always horrible. The course was in ok shape, but several fairways were dead grass and dirt. Only saw the cart girl once and the snack shop was closed.

It was good GC with good mountain views. I could not finish the 18 holes starting at 3 pm for 5 hrs for many people playing.

Greens were in amazing shape and challenging. Hard to read on the hillside. Optical illusion of breaks when actually level. If it weren't for a few ball marks from inconsiderate butt heads , the greens would have been flawless. Fun evening. We'll go back for sure.

I've played here plenty of times and it seems as if the course is just getting more crowded. Played recently and played it in a tad over 5 hours. I thought it might have been a bad day so I played here again and it was even worse. This time, it took a tad over 5.5 hours. What makes that period of time even worse is that it can get pretty darn hot out there and I didn't run into a food/drink cart at all.

The course, itself, is nice. Its just a great vibe with the deers running around the course. There were times I had to shoo a deer away because they were standing right in front of the tee box. The greens run fast and the course is in decent shape.

The only negative is the weekend's pace.

Love the layout/course. Never in great shape but fair. My only complaint is for a 4:30pm tee time the pace was EXTREMELY SLOW. Its like that pretty much at any time.. Wish they could limit tee times just a bit...

Also no cart food. No Shack food. Poor clubhouse food.. Could be a terrific course with some improvements..

Nice layout, but it is all about landing your ball in the right spot to avoid speedy downhill putts.

Teed us off 20 minutes after our start time and was a 5 hour and fifteen minute round on a weekday. Marshal was out there but didn't do anything to improve pace of play. Course condition was fine and it's a pretty location with lots of elevation changes.

The pace of play was slow. They don't spread the starts

out enough. They should level the tee boxes, all full of lumps and bumps and not level. We quit after 14th and was heading back to the clubhouse only to find 17th and 18th wide opened. The 2nd group in front of us was holding up everyone.

Nice course. Hilly and scenic. Front 9 was slow play but that was expected on a Sunday morning. Back 9 picked up. If you are hitting range balls, I advise you bring your own rubber tee for the mat.

Very nice course with a spectacular views. Great staff and a challenging hillside course. It can be tricky if you do not leave yourself in the proper position.
