Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
One of the best on the southside
Course is in good condition, some greens have a couple of bad spots but overall in nice condition. Course is an out and back so be aware of this and maybe take some snacks with you.
Good value for the price
The greens have always been great, faster than average and smooth. I like the layout, it's tough, and challenging for a scratch golfer.
Putting Counts
Course is hard (Tee Shot On #8 From the tips) , but fair. green are fast, but in the summer they will be faster. Course is in great shape
Challenging and scenic
Overall condition for winter was good. Great warm weather course and challenging with all the traps. Have played many times and always enjoy coming back. Great Golf Now price.
One of the best South of Atlanta
Love this course. I play there every time I'm back in Atlanta. Beautiful course, creative holes. It is challenging. Well placed bunkers, some water hazards to contend with, and will take accuracy to score well. In great shape, considering its winter and has been raining recently. Greens were a big surprise, running a lot faster than anticipated. All in all, great course to play.
course is very spacious
I will play again if there is a hot deal carts were in great shape staff was friendly don't know about food there because I didn't eat thanks
Great Layout, excellent fairways
Really enjoyed playing this course - first time but not last! Scenic, strategic hazards, challenging distance and hole locations. Definitely NOT a walking course! Fairways in very nice shape especially for Winter play; roughs are fairly thick but still playable. Greens were good but not great - should shape up nicely for the Spring. Midday/midweek play was quiet...just over 3 hour round for single. Most fairways are pretty forgiving but plenty of fairway and greenside bunkers to keep you making shots.
Great South of Atlanta Option
I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and grabbed some lunch at the Grill which was very nice. I finished in under 4 hours. The range, greens, fairways were well maintained. The fairways were also pretty wide. There were a good mixture of elevation changes, sand and grass bunkers. I wouldn't recommend as a walking course because some of the holes are some distance apart from each other.
One of the best in area
opened to the public at a decent rate. First time playing since they changed management and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the course. Couple that with an excellent layout, always an enjoyable round.
Quick Round of Golf
I played 18 holes in 2:40. A threesome was kind enough to let me play through, other than that it was wide open on a Saturday 12:30 tee time (college football). The course is in fair condition but has a great layout. The greens are a box of chocolates, not sure what you will get. Then again, I am use to the greens in AZ. CJ who runs the golf side is great. I have only played the course a couple times and he knows who I am.
Great Layout
Nice track. Design allows for challenge to all skill levels. Choose the correct tee box for your skill level and you'll have a very enjoyable round. Rating could be higher but greens show some stress. Could be from recent aeration, could be from summer being hard on the bent grass. Overall, good layout/facility/driving range/bunkers, and fairways. Average greens rolling a little slow. Will definitely return and I would recommend to all to visit Crystal Lake for yourselves.
Hard course
Not for beginners. Prices vary from pro shop to on line. Staff did not honor rIn check Lake Spivey is better value.
very nice layout
nice course friendly staff could use more sand in traps very enjoyable
Great Track
Have played this course many times in the past and it's always in good shape! Was a little disappointed that it was pinned and sanded this last trip because I've been trying to get back over there for a while. Will definitely be back, love the track!
Great Find
This course has a great layout with as much challenge as you want depending on the tee box. There are also holes you can challenge if you are willing to take a risk. Greens were recently aireated which was the only issue...will play it again for sure.
Good Value for the Southside
I have been playing here for the past 6 years, and the course has always stayed in great shape. Playing from the tips gives the golfer an awesome, but fair challenge. You'll have holes you scrape for par, but also holes to score on. The fairways usually stay lush and the greens are always fast. The greens seemed to be pretty beat up this time though, especially on the par 3's. Most putts stayed true to their line and where they didn't have ball marks would roll very true. The course may want to put out some notices reminding people to repair divots. Overall it's a great place to play and I still find myself heading down to Crystal Lake even though I have moved to the Kennesaw area.
New Owners doing a good job!
Since the new owners took over in February they've done an excellent job of getting the course back into good condition. The greens have a lot of ball marks, but that's a product of the amount of play the course gets and golfers who don't repair their ball marks. Played for less than $30 per golfer; great deal!
