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.

Advertised as gps equipped golf carts and this wasn’t true. Without the gps golf carts, we felt the course yardage/markers could have been more visible.

Nice track

First time playing the course. Great layout and course conditions were very good overall. This course would be awesome with Champions Bermuda greens. It's just too hot in the summer for bent grass around here. Based on the greens conditions I don't believe $60 is a good value for this course right now. But since Covid, every course in the metro area is price gouging a little these days.

Used to be a value

I've played this course for quite some time... often driving over an hour to get there. Greens fees used to be in the $25-$30 range for a weekend twilight which I felt was more than fair. Now, suddenly, you're paying about $50 for the same tee time... why? Well, ownership is taking advantage of the huge uptick in folks playing golf because of COVID. It's well within their right to do this, but this just isn't that good of a course to justify the price. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone because apparently no one else has an issue with this price hike -- the course is really busy all the time. Last time I was there, I inquired with the clubhouse about the sudden increase in prices as I was reluctantly reaching for my wallet. I got an attitude in return as if the question was personally insulting to the guy ... give me a break. It's a legitimate question, and even if it weren't, you shouldn't get an attitude with a paying customer.

Just remember that $50 greens fees come with $50 expectations that you are certainly not meeting at this time. I hope all this additional revenue leads to some course improvements.

Crystal lake is looking as good as I’ve seen it in a few years. Greens roll true and are soft enough to stop approach shots on the green. Can’t wait to go back!

First time on course

This was a nice course and well designed. The refreshment cart lady saw us on the second hole but we never saw her again. It was extremely hot that day and it would’ve been nice to be able to get some water after the second hole since it was very hot the day we played. The next time we got back to the pro shop was after #18.

Great greens

Good layout that can certainly play long . Lots of open landing areas and bunkering everywhere you want to cut a corner or go for a green. Could be a great place to score well if you play smart or a scorecard destroyer if you like to go for it all the time.

Good Course

Practice facilities were decent, staff was very friendly and the course had lots of tee box selections to choose from. About the only things that I can think of that were lacking is that some of the rough just off the fairways was merely dirt and if your ball goes over there it’s gonna roll into the woods. Also did not see a restroom on the course and you do not go by the clubhouse at the turn. Greens were in good condition and most fairways and tee boxes were too.

Hard to find a better deal for such a great course. Really nice greens & some rather challenging holes especially hole 14. I will definitely make another visit soon.
