Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club sprawls across a scenic landscape of native wetlands, an abundance of hardwood trees, and a generous smattering of meandering creeks and sparkling lakes. The beautiful terrain sets it apart from other golf courses in the Atlanta area. The course is known for the numerous grass-walled bunkers filled with pristine white sand that are strategically placed throughout. The player-friendly greens are wide and approachable, but there is the occasional multi-tier to watch out for. The generous nature of the greens also allows for a variety of pin placements. The natural features of the landscape at Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club not only provide beautiful scenery but they also make for a more interesting game since they require you to get creative with your shot-making, especially when trying to figure out how to handle some of the tricky carries.

As expected

I’ve been coming to Crystal Lake for about ten years or, every time I’ve come to visit family from For Walton Beach, Florida and I’ve enjoyed playing here.

For the exception of a few spots, “here and there” the course is fairly well kept and the staff, as always, is phenomenal! Very pleasing and accommodating. I’ll be Looking forward to my next round, upon my return.

Wonderful experience!

This was my second time playing this course. I was sick the first time so I didn’t want to comment. The course is immaculate and the greens are pristine. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming. I don’t love all the grass bunkers , but that’s part of the fun! 😬 Seriously, it’s a wonderful course for people of all levels. Challenging, but not impossible.

Birthday Tee Time

I set up this surprise tee time for my husband’s birthday for him and three other family members. He said it was a great course with a great layout. He also shared how for it to be moving into the cold season that greens were immaculate, very green,and well kept. He said the staff was very friendly also. He does plan to return in the future to play again.

Crystal Lakes is looking good!!

First time playing Crystal Lakes in a long time. Enjoyed the entire experience. Staff was professional and courteous. Make amends for the disabled!!! Range was in good shape… I hit off mats. A little backed up on first tee box but once it got flowing we were good. Cart girl notified us both cooks were out…. However snacks and beverages sufficed us. Will definitely be back
