Crystal Falls Golf Course

Colby was very welcoming and the pace of play was 4 hours so thumbs up there. The course itself, after playing twice in 7 days, is just too....unlevel. Course elevation changes, sloping fairways and undulated greens make for postive challenges but can be overdone.... and that is the case here. When you add in hard/no grass fairways and mud/wet conditions suprisingly in a lot of other areas on the course it just makes for a lower overall experience level.

We were unaware that our round would be cut short! We teed off at 2:20 and were paired with some inexperienced golfers. We maintained a reasonable place of play as we were occasionally waiting for the foursome ahead of us. We played through a rain shower and didn’t slow down for high winds. Our pairing even sat out 3-4 holes allowing my daughter and I to play some holes in 5-7 minutes. The Marshalls were nice, while being informative about pacing. All of that being said, we were abruptly ushered off of the course after 17. We were informed that all carts had to be returned no later than 6:15 which was sent as a RED ALERT on the cart GPS which we didn’t use bc we use GolfLogix app. The young man who drove out to clear at least 5 groups off of the course was abrupt and unapologetic. My simple point is this… if your pace of play isn’t enforced, you owe it to players teeing off after 1pm that they must head in at a specified time. If I had known we were paired up and our carts were due at 6;15, NO EXCEPTIONS, I could have made the decision to play 9 OR play until 6:15. I was given non of this info at check-in, GOS was turned off on my cart when I picked it up, and the staff was so rude at the end off the day. Just had us leaving with such a negative vibe.

Extreme cold and heavy rain has taken its toll on Crystal Falls. The

A you to is great and the course will recover. But right now its tough

Super great course! Great scenery! Challenging course!

Really nice layout. This is a challenging course. with great elevation changes. If you are wanting to score low then this is not your course… but if you want a great golf experience with beautiful views this is the spot. We walked… it was quite the hike. I would definitely recommend getting a cart!

Their carts were down due to battery issues. Challenging course. Greens in great shape. Lil wet . But Texas needs the rain. Fairways pretty decent for winter golf.

It had been 20+ years since we had played this course. When we checked in, the person behind the counter was curt and offered no information about the course, which left us guessing and wasting time when we encountered tee boxes that were off limits due to repairs. The course itself was great and despite the consistent rain during the first 11 holes, we enjoyed the golf.

Tough course with some challenging holes, narrow fairways, and tough greens. Great range, but small. Better value than most of the overpriced courses in Austin. Got very slow at one point but sped up on the back.
