Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club

Crystal Lake continuously provides a challenge each time I play the course. It is in great shape considering the weather we've had this year. There are several tee boxes that will stress golfers of any level. If you believe your game is tight, Come Get Some! It will give you all you want to handle.

The fairways were almost absent of grass in some areas due to snow and rain. Should be in great condition by spring. Don't let that deter you for now. Enjoy a great layout.

Crystal Lakes golf course has a lot to offer! Great views, many risk/reward holes, challenging holes where shot placement is key and it can even play long depending on your skill and comfort. It is a track with something special for every golfer.

On a busy Saturday afternoon the course can get filled up and sometimes there's nowhere to go. Nothing is as frustrating as having to wait on a clueless foursome. After waiting on several holes and seeing the group ahead leave them in their dust, we eventually gave up and skipped a hole to get done by dark. Of the 17 holes we played, they were in pretty good shape considering the season. nice practice area and clubhouse.

This course is one of Atlanta's gems. The course is always well maintained and this day was the same. I have only played once or twice previously. Immaculate fairways and greens. Great value!

The Greens in good shape, fairways excellent for the amount of rain and being the Winter season. The staff works very hard to quickly get the numerous bunkers and traps back in shape after downpours, pulling the sand back to the edges. I play this course as often as possible and have invited many first time players to the course who quickly return as I have done over the past couple of years. Only down side, the course does not return to the clubhouse after #9. Crystal Lake and Eagle's Brook are the best courses on the southside of Atlanta. I have played all public courses from Newnan to College Park to Stone Mountain, and several on the norhside. Both of these courses are better than most on than the more expensives tracks up there.

The greens are pock marked with ball marks. The fairways are brown and dead which makes hitting the ball similar to hitting the ball off the parking lot. Therefore, and by default, everything is a tight lie. Not a good golf experience and even at a reduced rate not really worth the cost. A shame because I'm sure it's a beautiful course when the grass is alive and the greens tended to.............but until then, I won't be back.

Fun, links-style track. Good layout with interesting holes. Totally different look than typical Atlanta - especially north Georgia courses.
Played the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Almost empty and I got in 31 holes playing 2 balls in 5 hours.
They don't overseed so the only 'green' to be seen are the greens themselves - but that works for the whole 'links' feel.
Only complaints are (1) non-existent yardage markers except for the 150 and 200 in the center of the fairways, and (2) 'players' tees would be nice - played the blues at 6450 rather than the whites at 5950. A mix around 6200 would have been nice.
Neat course though; I'll go back.

Very enjoyable! This was my first time playing Crystal Lakes and I was very impressed with the course lay out. The course can be manageable if played from proper tee boxes.(this will help avoid fairway bunkers). The greens were excellent and the fairways dormant this time of year. Kudos to the friendly clubhouse staff for retrieving clothing articles left behind in golf cart. Thanks!

This course is well maintained. The greens are exceptional. Great course for long hitters and not too difficult.

This links style course is well maintained and challenging. Nice lake setting, the course is made more difficult by the use of wetlands and well placed bunkers. I look forward to playing this course again now that I know something about the hazards.

First time to play the course, Oct 31,2013. Greeted by super nice pro shop staff. Course is challenging, but not unnecessarily difficult from mostly blue tees. Very we'll maintained. Only complaint was slow play, with no marshaling to move things alone. And no beverage cart with no return to clubhouse anywhere during round. Otherwise, great day of golf for reasonable rates.

Polite staff. Course well maintained and greens in nice condition

Played a little shorter than advertised but was a good value for the $$$.

Very nice course. Worth the money and time. Worth the drive from downtown.

The course was in great shape, we still managed to loose a few fairway balls? But that's goes any where.

Great value for the hot deal price.

Will play again.

This course is always a challenge and is a great layout with scenic views.

What a fun course. The Fairways were in excellent condition - the greens were being aerated. Lots and lots of bunkers - plenty of hazards - challenging holes. All things concidered this is my favorite local course.

Playing this course has become a bit of a tradition for me when I visit the Atlanta area twice a year. It is a fun layout, and it is nice to play on some hills for a change (none in FL). Overall the course is in pretty good shape, but the greens had not been cut in a while and there were remnants from punching them and a lot of unrepaired pitch marks. The times I have played here before the course was in much better condition. I still enjoyed it, but you should come with lowered expectations for a while. The staff was very friendly, and I played as a single in under 3 hours on a Thursday afternoon.

Layout is great for the average golfer. For the folks that get it out there on the drive 240-300 you could run into some problems if you aren't REALLY accurate.
There are several doglegs and some strategically placed bunkers and "natural" areas that tend to find balls as well.
Really enjoyed driving 1 of the par 4's, there are probably 2 - 4's that can be driven, and 2 - 5's fairly easy to get to in 2. Just don't miss because you will pay for it.
Greens AND fairways were in excellent condition.

Will be back !
