Crystal Falls Golf Course

Pro shop claims they “forgot” to pay their F&B Distributor. Whatever the truth is the reality is there is no food or beverage INCLUDING BEER available at the course. There was a food truck with lots of options if you want to wait for it to be cooked…I waited 20 minutes for brisket sliders that were supposedly already cooked, and there were no hot dogs or sausage wraps available at 1 PM when we made the turn. Food truck had iced down beverages, but still no beer. No change in cost of a round either. I won’t be back here for a good while. Would not recommend under current condition of “amenities”.

Hard to be fair considering the very heavy rain the night before, but considering, is a very nice course, but very challenging. Will come back to give it a go when it’s dryer.

It was overall a great experience.

The course condition is in great shape. Tee boxes need work, though.

I’m definitely coming back

My golf partner and I took the long drive from South Austin and made it in good time, with some left over to warm up at the range. The range is small compared to other golf courses. However it was a good layout to get some quick practice in before heading out. When we arrived to the first hole, there was an employee there waiting to check us in. They were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the course which is useful. Out on the course, absolutely stunning. The views from the elevated tees are great. The course overall is a challenge but so much fun. Excited to return back soon to play again!

Teed off at 9:00 on Wednesday and played a 4.5 hour round. It was busy, but kept moving. Course was mostly in good shape other than a few rough spots on the greens. The pin setter may have been going thru something because there were half a dozen pins placed within six feet of the edge of their greens. They’re prepping for a “Superintendents Revenge” tournament so maybe they’re practicing? 🤷🏻‍♂️. The restaurant is shut down for whatever reason and doesn’t look to be opening anytime soon so byo food and drink. There was a food truck at the turn, but it didn’t get set up til about 12:00 so we missed it. Also the range was closed at tee-off time, but that may have been temporary. Still a good value for the money.

Course was in great shape, best I've seen it, and this course is always a favorite of mine. Be warned though that the restaurant and bar are closed and they are running as BYOB right now. They have some soft drinks in the pro shop but best be prepared with your own snacks and drinks.

It had been a minute since playing Crystal Falls, but was able to get a good tee time that worked with my other weekend plans. Course was in good shape, except that the tee on #2 was being worked on, so we had to hit off a mat. The bar/grill is closed, so THERE IS NO ALCOHOL AT THE COURSE. Overall, a good value for the money and a good course to play, just come prepared 😉

Marshall needs to enforce pace of play. If it means telling an entire group to pick up there ball then so be it. There is no excuse to be 40 mins behind pace at 9 holes and see 2 groups waiting on 10 tee. We quit at 10 after 3 hours. 💯 on starter and marshall. Other than that good course

Enjoyed this course. However, with no snack shop and the awful pace of play yesterday, it may be a while before I go back.

Google maps doesn’t give you an accurate understanding of the terrain. This course has a lot of slopes and side hill lies to contend with. There’s enough water on it to present an issue if you’re not striking the ball well during your visit. Green speeds weren’t as fast as some of the other Texas courses I’ve recently played. Pace of play was slow (nearly a 5 hour round) and expect that’s because the course is no slouch. I did just miss out on Eagling the 479yd par 5 - 12th hole by 3 inches.

Hopefully I’ll get the chance to play here again with me now having a better understanding of the course. Just hope the pace of play will be better.

Course itself was pretty good, but the services were bare bones. There was no alcohol available, and no food or beverage other than a minimal selection in the pro shop. The range was OK but was mats only.

Nice layout and great views from some elevated teeboxes. They've had watering restrictions but the course was in decent shape and the greens rolled nice. They need to get their liquor license back to see me again though!

Nice layout. 2 awesome par 3s. Greens are fairly fast but grass has not come in yet. The snack bar is shutdown which is huge if you want anything while there, looks like they are remodeling. Seems like the could get a cooler assuming they have the liquor license. It's a pretty tight course especially on the back. Challenging!!
