Good course in Good shape

Course in good condition, it was a 2:30 tee time so greens bit bumpy, fairways and teeboxes in good shape. We got stuck behind a twosome who was brutal and a whole behind on the first tee. That was tough but perhaps worse was the drink cart person did not put alcohol in our drinks. We asked her to show us the empty bottles and she said she put the vodka in but couldn't show us the proof. dWe paid $30 for 3 club sodas. Crazy but course good I love the layout.

Crystal Springs in January 2022

This is a course I have played more than 10 times. It is laid out in a wilderness preserve and overlooks a lovely reservoir. Situated on the eastern slope of the Crystal Springs reservoir its holes rum mostly north/south on levels cut into the slope. It demands good club choice and positioning off the tee. Greens are in generally fine shape and run true, although heavy play can make putting later in the day slightly more difficult due to foot marks accumulating through the day.

You will see deer, turkey, and other wildlife during your round and the scenery is beautiful.

I will return again soon and recommend you try this gem.

Awful condition

Look, I get the course can’t control rain. What they can control is course maintenance. This was a complete Mud Hole today. Lost balls in the middle of fairways. Greens so bad not worth the explanation. Nothing from the pro shop Staff about what to expect. Of course no price reduction either. There are better choices. By the way, the carts are about 20 years old and safety hazards. The brakes on the ones I tried go all the way to the floor.you kidding me? Go somewhere else.

Mud

The course is beautiful but this time it was extremely muddy. I came very close to slipping and falling in the mud more than a few times and hitting the ball off a very wet and muddy fairway is NO fun.

Also, no one said anything about the mud when I checked in.

I'll come back after it dries out.

Flooded course on the day

The course was flooded and was a massive muddy mess. On top of some rainy days previously, apparently the sprinklers went off indefinitely due to power cut. So my experience was not great and scores reflect that. Otherwise the views are spectacular, plenty wildlife and friendly staff so perhaps on another day I'd have had a better experience.

So muddy

Drainage is bad. Water everywhere and very muddy. Standing water is the cup. Will not recommend to play in the rainy season

Day after Thanksgiving Round

We play here alternately typically on Weds each week.

I was surprised that on “Fridays” there is no senior rate.

There also seems to be an inconsistency with the snack bar at the end of the 9th hole.

They never seem to have regular closing hours. We’ve been told it’s 3, then, until our food runs out, and also, we stay open as long as it’s busy. One of our players really likes the hamburgers but they always seem to be out?

Crystal Clear

Outstanding! Best I’ve seen it in years. Some sand traps need TLC like hole 12 ( holes 8 and 16) Other holes sand is ok. Simply could not ask for better playing conditions Thursday. Awesome.

Great and Difficult Layout, Terrible Conditions…

Beautiful Weather today. A nice layout. Way

Over priced and $90+. Tee Boxes beat and not level on many cases. Fairways are far from lush with numerous bare spots. Traps are shallow dirt. Greens are difficult, made even

More so because they’re very bumpy and slow.

Really A Shame. I do not recommend this course…

Good value course

It’s not pebble but what is. Crystal is a good value and a nice course with some Great Lake views. Will not be disappointed
