About
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.

11th Hole at Crystal Falls Golf Course, Leander TX Photo submitted by wshowers on 12/02/2012
What an amazing course!
Seriously! This course is beautiful! All the courses around town were booked so I took this one and boy am I glad I did! The staff was really friendly at every point. Even the guy who checked me in saw that I was waiting on my ride and offered me a ride which I appreciate. The course is well kept especially the greens. A few rough areas but you can tell that they are maintaining the course! I will come back!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, DarthMcIlroy! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Crystal Falls Golf Course.
Best value near Austin
Played for the first time this weekend and it was well worth the drive out and the money. I think it’s the best value course I’ve played around Austin since moving last year. Only cons were that the pace of play could’ve been better and the tee boxes in better shape. Though I heard from others the pace wasn’t typically like that. Other than that the course was in excellent shape with lots of elevation, beautiful scenery, and some very cool holes.
Your feedback is important to us, jamesjurcak. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Crystal Falls Golf Course.

One of my Favorite place's to play
Love the course, great layout fun to play. It has a nice balance of challenge and ease of play. Fairways are a little tighter than courses around here. This add to the fun of the course allowing for different approaches to each hole.

Challenge Golf Course
We played wet and windy day. We followed 4 men who work on this course. My friend and I drive shot and not close them, but one guy wave to us(2some and ladies), so we thought that play through, but he yell us "why hit into us with such bad attitude. So sad to experience like that.. Stay away here long time..
Thank you.

Snack Bar
I really like playing Crystal Falls. It’s a very challenging course and usually it good shape. I have played behind very slow groups, and even a 5-some, so I think the course marshaling should be better. My only gripe…$4 for a Coors Light😳. I want to buy beer to drink during my round, but the groups that I usually play with, refuse to pay that.

One of the top ten courses I have played in March
This course has 2 spectacular par 3 with a drop of over 100 feet. All the other holes are interesting and challenging with lots of elevation changes. The greens were ok about 8 on stimp meter. Course is difficult for players that do not hit drives straight with lots of problems off the fairway on most holes. I highly recommend for lower handicap players and but the course is very difficult for higher handicap players.
