About
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.

Love the course. Was wet from a week of rain but was in great shape.
So-So
This is an average course. However, keep in mind that it's quite hilly and you'll have to walk up and down those hills as the cart is governed to be very restrictive. You need to be in good physical health to play and enjoy this course.
Painted greens
The greens rolled true. But with the additive (or as I call it: paint), added to the greens, it was impossible to determine which way the grain runs.
Sometimes I guessed I was with the grain but after leaving my putt 15’ short, it was obvious I was putting against the grain.
Love the course though, it was a 1.5 hr drive and cannot wait to do so again.
Crystal Lake
Cart gps wasn’t working but teamed up with someone with a range finder thankfully.
No yardage markers at start of hole either so was really thankfully for getting paired with someone with knowledge of the course and a rangefinder
Other than that, nice course and would play again.
Decent golf with some nice holes
Crystal lake starts with a nice clubhouse. Driving range serves for warm-up, but not an actual grass range at least in mid-April. The course was in "ok" shape for spring time, but roughs were not punishing the players. Greens were slow, but no complaining on the quality otherwise. Please note the course does not return to clubhouse after 9 holes. Overall I could visit again as long as the prices will not increase.
