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.

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.

Best Condition Ever

I’ve played this course many time. One of the best course south of I-20. Course is in the best shape I’ve seen in years. Greens were awesome and rolling very well. Fairways in great shape. I love the layout and the degree of difficulty that the course has. Friendly staff; nice practice areas. Highly recommend this course.

Cool layout and great conditions

The course is laid out great and in great condition. You may want to play one tee box closer than usual, seemed to play longer than average. Had a blast and will definitely play again. Very fair price at $75 on a weekend.

Good time

Used Golf Now to book a twosome. Got to course and tee and was told it would be a foursome. The two they played with me and my friend were super guys and good golfers.

Golf carts need to be updated, refurbished or replaced.

Beverage cart was solid.

Great for the money

I was told they spent about a million dollars on the greens about a year ago and you can definitely tell! If you’re able to get a hot deal on here you will be hard pressed to find a better quality course for the price in the entire state. Not sure the normal hot deal rate but I paid $27.99 for 18…on top of that the staff was super nice, I managed to forget my wallet at the house and the guy in the pro shop spotted me for the range balls. Overall (specially for the hot deal price) I highly recommend this course.

Cart girl no where to be found

This was my third time playing at this course where the cart girl was no where to be found! First time she stayed at the turn and was never seen again. Second time she wasn’t seen until the 18th hole. Third time she was never seen. Fun course to play, but I would suggest you pack a cooler.

Crystal clear about Crystal Lake Golf Course

Played 5 holes before getting rained out. Course is in very good shape and well maintained. No problem getting a rain check from the friendly staff. I will be playing again and recommend it to lovers of the game.

Decent Course, But I Won't Make The Drive Again

The course was in pretty good shape. Reading the green kicked my behind as they were abit slow, but that is timing of the greens being cut. The greens were in good shape, just hard for me to read. It was an extremely hot day and they said coolers were not allowed. However, we didn't get a water cooler until about the 8th hole and they weren't very abundant. The drink cart didn't make it to us until the 8th hole and 15th holde. The golf carts had abit of age on them with both of our carts having torn seating. The carts did have a computer onboard which helped some, but it was a very old system and was only good for yardage to the green, not the layout or distance to hazards, etc. I would play the course now and then if it were local, but I wouldn't make the 1 hour drive again. The course conditions and friendly staff were the best attributes. One other issue is they didn't have a starter. This allowed the 11:30 tee tiime to tee off at 11:20am and hit right into us, which happened a few times.

Take snacks

Crystal Lakes is a good course with some great hole layouts. However. We played during the hottest part of the day and supposedly you cannot bring a cooler with you. Since the 9th hole does not end at the clubhouse there was no place to get water or refreshments. There was also no drink cart on the course. When we got back to the clubhouse at 7:30, it was completely locked up and we had no place to go the restroom even. It will be awhile before I go back to Crystal Lakes.
