Type Public
Par 72
Length 6654 yards
Slope 131
Rating 73.4

While it hasn't received as much publicity as the other Hill Country tracks since it opened around 1990, Crystal Falls Golf Club is definitely worthy of praise. Highlighted by one of the greatest par 3s in Texas and some outstanding topography, this is one of those courses you'll want to play at least once, if only for the views. In addition to the scenery, the main thing everyone talks about here is the severely sloping fairways that provide problems for those who hit the ball left-to-right. The famous par 3 in question is the 192-yard 11th, featuring a phenomenal view and a 200-yard drop to the green. Club selection is a crap-shoot at best, and the green is surrounded by mounds.

Very Challenging

Wow, I had no idea how challenging this course was when I reserved my tee time. Unlike many of the courses around Austin, if you miss the fairway, you are toast! Even with my slices and hooks, I really enjoy a course that penalizes you when you can't keep the ball in play. Can't wait to return and give it another try!

1pm on a Wednesday, under 4 hours

A couple of the greens had some bad patches, but many of the greens were in great shape. It's a tough layout that makes you focus on playing smart golf

If you love elevation changes this the course

Great course to play! The price is very reasonable for what you get. Challenging elevations. Great Par 3s. Drivable par 4s.

Last round I playrd

I like this course but what I don’t understand is why did the group in front of us take 2 tee shots each on every hole on the back nine? Unbelievable? Where was the Marshall???

Loved to layout. Course is genneral in great condition.
