Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club

5-hr round on a Friday morning. No ranger in sight. Greens were too soft and really beat up from ballmarks. Won't be back.

The proshop staff was incredible. The bar staff not so much, irritated that we asked for a cup of ice (96 degrees outside). There was not a water cooler on the range (96 degrees outside), and both water coolers on the course were empty (96 degrees outside). The course itself was excellent. The fairways were immaculate. The greens were okay, it is obvious that there had been a lot of recent play (repair your divots people!). Teed off at 3:56 and finished at 7:40, great pace for a weekend afternoon. All in all a great deal for a really goods course. Just please make more water available!

I have played the course three times now and finally have developed a strategy on how to play the course. I enjoy the views that the course offers and the difficulties and challenges as well...I want to take advantage of the membership but I'm afraid Afterschool starts I won't be able to play as much. The greens are in excellent shape but for a few ball marks... I think people need a tutorial on how to fix ball marks. I think it would save so many greens.

The course was in outstanding condition, if you are a novice golfer then it is the perfect course for you. Very open with little water so it is easy to find errant shots.

I was not expecting such a great golfing experience as a first time visitor. The starter was very friendly and got us off early. The course was as challenging as we wanted with five tee locations to choose from. The weather was perfect and we completed 18 holes on a Saturday morning in 3 hours 15 minutes. We will be back very soon.

Course in above average condition from tee to green. Interesting holes. Dependent upon yardage/tees you're playing may need to check landing areas before your tee shot to avoid trouble areas. Do you suggest additional water coolers on course with temps in mid 90's. Not a walking course due to distant between some tees

I played this course about 15 times and I always notice the conditions are getting better
Would recommend it good value for your money

I've played this course a number of times and it's condition has varied from poor to good. The course is in great shape and the greens are fair and true. Had a great round, the course continues to improve every time I play. I'll be back!! especially the HOT DEAL!!

Very good course,however, we were behind a foursome that would not let anyone play through. Our round took 4.5 hours. Unacceptable. They need to invest in a ranger.

I do not recomend this course for golfnow players. I was told by the man running the check in counter that golfnow members must ride with others that book the same time. This man also said he does not like golfnow, he wished the couse would discontinue all ties with golfnow. He allowed course members to ride single, but golfnow folks could not. I was paired with a gentleman that was playing 2 tee boxes ahead of me and that is not fun for either of us. I have played this course many times before, this was the first time this has happened.

Truly impressed with course and staff! Would definitely play again.

The course was in Great shape, the greens rolled true & fast. Enjoyed my outing

This place is really a good value and in great shape. Open and long, but scoreable since the greens a nice. You'll be using driver and driving far between tees. They need some better yardage markers and ball cleaners, but that's only knock on this place. I'll be back.

Fantastic track and really has some teeth from the back tees, especially 4, 5, and 6 (I think, or it's 5, 6, 7). But, there are plenty of other holes that you can make birdie on.

Great clubhouse staff checking in. CJ was exceptionally nice and helpful after having a discussion about yardage markers and the yardage book on the course. Good service and friendliness at the grille as well. Always appreciated when feeling a little hot and tired after a round. Very nice place to play.

courses in very good shape. Greens terrific, very fair

First time playing and was very pleased. Course was in good shape for the time of year. Greens had been aerated a few weeks prior and not completely recovered but rolled true. Course was very challenging, especially for a first timer not knowing where all of the hazards are. I will be back when it greens up and there is more grass.

Didn't realize the greens were aerated. Putting was a challenge if you took it seriously.

This course was in excellent shape good running greens. Challenging layout and we'll kept.

The course has a lot of trees down. I did not ask why but it may be due to the weather this winter. It did not effect the playing area. Look forward to playing it in warmer weather.

Course was decent. A little rough even though off season. No food service and limited drink offerIngs. Fairways were mostly mud. Once grass grows in I'm sure I'll give it 4 stars. Right now, just 3. I like the layout.
