Crystal Springs Golf Course

The golf shop lost control of the course. There were two groups waiting on each tee. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to tee off on the 4th hole.

I play the course frequently and this was totally unacceptable.

Pro shop was reasonable and refunded my green fees.

Besides the marshal taking my golf ball off the center of the fairway and driving off, it was a great experience.

I really enjoyed this course, it has beautiful views and is well maintained. I also appreciated that the golf carts had a tablet showing how far the cart was from the hole. And I would definitely play here again, but I would warn anyone who is planning to play here to expect certain delays. Both times I've come here they were running late so we had to tee of about 20-30 minutes after our scheduled tee time. And the pace of play is very slow, taking between 4.5 to 5 hours. I notice that the first 4-5 holes are very slow as it gets bottlenecked around the third hole. Yesterday, there were three parties at the third hole and we had to wait about 20 minutes to tee off. It clears up a lot after the third hole and by the fifth hole, you don't have to wait for groups ahead of you.

No Marshall on the course moving pace of play. 6.5 hour round yesterday. Takes the fun away especially knowing the staff really doesn't care. Next thing you know people start hitting up on us because we were trying to finish the round before darkness.

Crystal Springs is a challenging but fun golf course. Have to hit your spots on your tee shots to have decent approaches into the greens or lay-ups.
I was dissatisfied with the pace of play all day. Took us nearly 5 hours to play 18 at 2:50 on a Sunday. Need more marshals to speed up play or play people through the slow groups. Otherwise had a lot of fun and would definitely play this course again!

Nice track overall. The greens are in real nice shape, rolling great. The fairways can be beat up in some spots, but playing better then last month. Lots of walkers caused the pace to slow. Marshalls actually keep you on pace, but can be a bit grumpy if you run into the wrong one. Way to overpriced in my opinion. Maybe due too being the only public track around the area. One month ago, my buddy booked n crystal springs website (mistake) and when we arrived, found out we were triple booked. They couldn't do anything about it so I complained to the GM and he severely discounted me during this round. Yet, if the price was 20% lower, I'd come around more often.

Great course, but incompetent management/ownership. HORRIBLE pace of play. Absolutely unbelievably slow. I will never go back here.

2.5 hours = 5 holes, first attempt 7/13/14

3 hours = 9 holes, second attempt 7/27/14

over twenty minute delay of both start times WITH reservation
I understand it was a weekend, but this was ridiculous.

I rarely review but wanted to let everyone know I broke 80. lol. The course was well maintained. It was hot so the ball rolled a little too much and many of the fairways are on hills. It was perfectly fine for what it was, less than $50 with a cart, pace of play was fine, cart girl was pretty, sun was out, views, not too challenging, overall enjoyable. Not too many places to get in trouble, rough outside of fairways are usually sloped hills back to the short stuff.

This is a challenging course with some great views, don't be surprised to see wildlife as you play ( great photo opportunities ) . Several fairways are off cambe, and there are some very elevated greens and tees. The greens can be tricky but are in good condition.

Went out late on a Friday and the pace of play was pretty slow. That said, the course was in good condition. This is a course where local knowledge is very helpful, especially on the greens. This is not a course for beginners but one I would recommend to average players or better.

As advertised. Beautiful. Great views. Every hole is unique. Friendly deer on almost every hole. Great elevations. Challenging but fair. Greens in great shape. Rest of course in average shape but it's still vary much in good shape.

It's a must play in SF.

Good course for the money. Slow here every time I play.

The greens are fast and lots of long beautiful drives. Over looking Crystal Springs Reservoir. Surrounded by trees for shade and there are lots of deer, birds, and wildlife to watch and enjoy.

This course was recommended to me by a few different people. They were running late because of a junior tournament, but they did ask me if i wanted to go out earlier than my tee time to avoid the delay. I got paired up with three rather novices, but it was really fun. The course was beautiful as i must have seen 20 to 30 deer on the course. The elevation changes were nice, but the pace of play was slow even though we saw the ranger quite a bit at the beginning. However, i had a good time regardless and would play again.

Course could be in better condition. Greens were slow , course needs water but the overall views are worth it.

I loved putting on those greens and hitting into them from the fairway.

For the most part I enjoyed my round crystal Springs. Aside from my inability to get off the Teebox, the biggest issues was pace of play due to the group in front of us. They seem to have no clue about course etiquette and the fact that there were other people on the golf course. The staff was friendly and accommodating. And even though the wind was gusting it was generally a very nice experience. I will play there again hopefully with better equipment because the problem is never me.

Played 18 holes in 4 hours. Front nine is more challenging then the back. great views and tons of wild life (deer, birds, turkeys etc...). Great value for bay area a bay area course.

high pressure in the bay area means heat. I got out very early on reserved tee time. Only two of us with foursome behind. perfect sequencing for us, a private course. Hilly with many sidehill lies on first few holes. Drive left. most will roll to right side of fairway. greens were difficult to read initially, much break with speed. Beautiful views with deer scattered about the back nine. cart recommended. good value. nice staff.
