Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club

Everything exceptional. Staff friendly. Food and drinks in clubhouse great!

Pro shop staff were not friendly or helpful at all. Place of play was terrible. We were on pace to play a 6-7 hr round before we left after 13 holes bc we sat about 10-15 minutes between shots.. No starter or marshals present at all. Cart girl only had beer and Powerade. Trash cans on course were all overflowing and the water coolers had no water. Course layout is not great as there is literally no opportunity to get food or drinks except for at the beginning of the round.

Was the last tee time before a 2 hour break for course management . Basically we had the entire course to ourselves. Pace of play was great and the greens where in excelent condition. The only issue were the bunkers , they were not raked much and bc of the rain the top sand was hard as a rock. My fault for even being in the bunkers lol. Would definitely play the course again.

Played here a few times. Very challenging but a very fun course.

DO NOT book the 6;30 A.M tee time because they aren’t actually open until 7.

Greens were redone a few months back and it shows. they are some of the nicest I have played.

The cart guy in the early morning is super friendly

Would recommend to anyone that isn’t brand new at golf because it has a lot tough spots

I’ve played for over 30 years and never in my life have I experienced a more disorganized course. We booked for 3 pm. 3 mins before our tee time a single jumped ahead of us. The a couple who booked at 2:40 showed up late and started next. We were about to play and another pair showed up at the same tee time and insisted they were fast and wanted to play ahead of us. So there we were, about to tee off and suddenly there were 5 people ahead of us. We were so frustrated we just left. They need a starter to create structure and proper etiquette!!

Staff were all very friendly, no extra charge to hit on the practice tees to warm up.

Course is laid out in a loop (so if you play 9, you’ll be at max distance from the clubhouse when you finish).

Pace of play was VERY slow, not a reflection on the course, but carts are equipped with gps , so it would seem easy enough to have a ranger move things along. The group ahead of me left after 16 when they got tired of waiting.

Otherwise, course was fun, in good cindition with plenty of challenges from the blues for a mid-handicap golfer.

Crystal Lake has the feeling and look of a private club that also happens to have public tee-times. The clubhouse was very nice, clean and well-appointed. There was a full locker room, not just a bathroom. The pro shop was very well-stocked and their personalized gear looked good. The restaurant was also very nice.

The course itself was also excellent. Challenging enough but not punishing. Everything was well-kept and the greens were excellent. The course covers a lot of ground and winds its way through a community. So, if you're a big-time hacker with a wicked slice, you'll need to be very careful off the tee on many holes that are lined very closely with houses.

Especially for the price, this is about the best deal I've seen in the Atlanta area.

Had a great experience in pro shop. Had issues with the restaurant. I ordered sandwiches for me and my son 30 minutes before my teetime. I was told they would be ready in ten minutes. I came back twenty five minutes later and my order that I already paid for was not even started in the kitchen. They did bring our food to us on the first hole, but I was still disappointed with the breakdown.

The course was in great condition. The greens were fast but fair. The pace of play was horrific. We waited on every hole from 7 to 18.

I love this course and have never had to wait like this. Not sure why play was so slow, but it made the round less enjoyable,

Very nice laid back course, with very friendly staff. Greens were a little patchy but nothing major. I would play this course over many.

Loved the layout and the people were friendly. Course needs some cosmetic work and it would be nice if players knew how to repair ball marks.

For a Saturday noon tee time, the pace was outstanding. 2 hours 9 holes. Greens were fast and a little bumpy.
