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.

Always ready for golf !! Photo submitted by moorem815 on 07/22/2018
Visually Pleasing
One of the better courses on the south side of Atlanta.
Great course
We played 18 hole of golf. The course was challenging but manageable. I will play there again soon.
Nice Greens
Nice course but you have to play all 18 before you reach the clubhouse.
Overall not a good course
First off my tee time was at 1. It rained very moderately the night before but by the time I arrived at the course it was very dry but for some dumb reason it was cart path only. That made for a terribly uncalled for slow round. The score card read 6500 yards from the blues but was easily 7100+ yards. There were hardly any yardage markers in the fairway and hardly any navigation signs which made getting lost very easy. The unraked bunkers with no sand were terrible. $103 for 2 people is way over priced for this course. I play eagles brook very regularly and I would highly recommend that course, its very nice and maintained very well, and its great for the price.
Outstanding course and value. A gem!
Well maintained, nice layout, etc. can't beat the value for a course like this.
Very Nice Track!!!
Last time I played Cry Lake it was about a year and a half ago and it was a nice course then, but is REALLY a nice course now. Don't get to the South-side that often to play golf, but playing here last sat. will definitely keep me coming back for more.......If you have not played this course before, you really need to see what all the hype is over. 78 bunkers or more will definitely keep you on your toes with a few blind shots.
Best course in Atlanta for the price
Green & fairway is great this is the Best course in Atlanta for the price
Nice course
It is a well maintained course and I really liked playing it. We had a slower round than I prefer because of a tournement. The guy I played with said during the week, including Fridays, it is usually not crowed. I will add this course to my list of regulars.
Great round
First time. Will definitely return. Great greens. A lot of hills though
Good bones
Nice layout, but showing signs of overuse. Many unrepaired ball marks on greens and maybe lower level of course maintenance has the course looking a little ragged round the edges.
Worth the price but needs a little TLC.
Firm and Fast
Great course layout - play this course regularly. When the weather heats up it can get very fast as they don't irrigate it well. Greens are in great shape, but the fairways are thin from lack of rain. Monster drives but really need to pinch the wedges to take advantage. They close the 19th hole at 5pm on Saturdays??? bummer for a post round snack and drink.
needs restrooms on course; beverage cart would be nice
Enjoyed playing the course very much, but would probably not play again. The only holes near the clubhouse are 1 and 18. No restrooms in sight for the next 4/5 hours. No beverage carts which can make for a tough summer day in GA.
A fun course
A fun course, will play again. Nice layout, fairly open fairways. Has driving range.
Great course, great value
You will be hard pressed to find a course in this great of shape for the price!
Great layout
Crystal Lake still remains as one of my favorite coureses on the south. Great layout. Not in as good of shape as I thought it would. I've seen it better
Crystal lake is back
Played with a member nice dude. I guess this course has the same owners of Eagle Brooke providence club and cotton fields. The golf course condition was great greens are firm. I enjoyed my round
Great course
This is one of the best Dennis griffiths design courses. I love it and so will you. Tough course, you definently have to think your way through and be patient on the greens. This is a must play for everyone!!!
tee time: Sunday 11:18am
Plenty of time to play. Course was in good shape. Greens were decent. Saw plenty of Marshalls but no cart girl. That was not good.
Good course, I enjoy it every time.
Crystal Lake has withstood the harsh economy and looks and plays great.
Great greens-tough pace of play
I have played Crystal Lake before and love the layout. Greens were great and rolled true. Fairways were good but not as good as the putting surfaces. Two things that could have made it better. No ball washers? A public or semi public golf course should have them somewhere on the course. The pace was difficult. I played with a group of three that were great but slow. The only problem is we still waited on several tees so the pace of play might have been managed better. Well worth the price! Really great layout.
