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
Great course with starter issues
Always enjoy the course. Well maintained and cared for. The starter management needs improvement. They let late groups off in between scheduled tee times, always stacked at hole one, starter always seems over whelmed by the shear disfunction at the tee times. If they got the tee times and starter aligned the course is well worth standard price. Until then get hot deals and enjoy a great course.
Great course, even greater people!
I love playing here. The course is long and challenging but forgiving at the same time. The people there are incredible. Super friendly and Christian based staff. This is my go to course in the McDonough area.
Awesome Greens!
The greens on this course were fantastic! I had read the reviews and I was not disappointed. The greens held iron shots well and putted true. No bare spots anywhere. And the speed was good. There is enough break and slopes in these greens that they don't need to be 13 on the Stimp.
A few holes had "Cart Path Only" signs, even though the fairways appeared to be dry. May be a proactive effort to protect the fairways. And the golf cart GPS geofencing made sure you didn't enter those fairways!
Played as a single on a Tuesday afternoon and got around in 3 hours (hitting a few mulligans and practice shots along the way).
A very good course that I highly recommend!
Great course! Conditions were awesome all the way around , especially the greens. Loved how spaced how this course was and the scenery with the lake was awesome. Will definitely come back.
Hanging out
We played the course, which was in excellent shape. The greens were fantastic. The course was the best I have seen it in a long time. My only complaint was that there was a twosome in front of us that was terribly slow, and never allowed us, a twosome as well, to go past. Terrible golf etiquette..
Mr Davis
Fairways need work grass needed in about four fairways
Mr Davis
Fairways need work, no grass on some of them don’t have grass in some areas. Greens are good. Carts have no carts this hole for no reason that slowed down play.
Good conditions
The courses in great shape the greens are not too fast in the layout is challenging for an average golfer
Crystal Lake’s greens are in great shape
The course was in good condition and I enjoyed playing it. I definitely recommend playing this course.
Great staff challenging course
Course was in good shape. Carts are annoying if you get within a certain amount of feet from the green. Staff was great
Awful Experience
Super crowded with rude staff and players. Super slow pace of play. I don’t know why anyone would want to experience this stressful game of play. My first and last time going to this course. Don’t waste your time or money on this jungle.
