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.

Fund raiser tornament

Played in a fund raising tournament with about 20 four-person teams. Course was in good shape; 17 of 18 greens really good (one had a couple bare/bad spots). As others have noted, no "rest" stops along the way except for one portable facility. Limited water coolers, too. The drink/snack cart was manned by some of the tournament volunteers. Don't know if they have someone out during the week or not. No personal coolers allowed? Lucky or me, my golf bag has an insulated beverage compartment. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape for the most part. Some tee boxes showing signs of wear.

Purposely omitted a price paid for the round as it was a fund raiser and we paid more than the standard rate, but we had door prizes, lunch, trophies, etc. I heard we raised a nice sum of money for the Southern Baptist Network's kid's camp fund.

Water

The only problem with this course is once you start you don't come back by the clubhouse to get refreshed with water or drink. Every time I play the water containers on the course are empty. The course and golf are great but the water being empty is a problem.

Nice change of pace

I chose to play at Crystal al lake for a change of pace from where I normally play. The course is about a 45 minute drive for me, but it was truly worth it. The course was in good shape and the greens rolled very true. Played with a member who really helped me with course layout and strategy. Will definitely return

Great course

Definitely a nice course but I suggest you get all you need and use the restroom before you tee off. There is nothing between the first tee box and the 18th green. No portables, no cold drinks, no stop!

Conditions were good but there is major housing construction going on and the burning of the trees is unbearable. Should close course until burning is done.

Great day Crystal Lakes

Had great day at Crystal Lake. I was invited by a good friend who is a member there. Really liked the course. Number 1 hole was a nice challenge to start. Really like the layout with all the bunkers. You have to make some strategic shots to get the ball on in regulation. It is a shooters course. It is challenging but fair. Greens roll good, and the fairways are tight lies. You can get the club on ball very nicely. Really had a great time. Will be back.

Great Course - worth the drive

If it weren’t for the awful lingering winter cold and the slow foursomes ahead of me, it would have been a fantastic round. Did skip a few holes to play around some but I made the best of it and drove back through and played them after finishing 18. Will make the drive south of Atlanta again when it’s warmer!

Group of 9

The course was in great shape, only remember maybe 2 greens that needed some attention. The pace of play was very slow, but some what to be expected since it was a perfect weather day and course was crowded. Didn't like the fact there was no cart on the course as well. Needed something stronger than water, but we made due.

This place used to be excellent....but

$60 on a damp Saturday with the greens punched and no cart girl at all and the course doesn't return to the clubhouse until you finish 18.

Are you serious?

This place used to be an exceptional place to play golf....not so much any more....
