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
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.

Crystal Falls GC
It was my first time playing Crystal Falls GC. The facility was great and so were the staff. The course is in Leander, TX with rolling terrain which made it challenging but beautiful. I would certainly play there. We had a great time!

Always worth playing!
I frequent this course, typically in the morning before 9:30. It's always a fast round under 4 hours everytime.
The course itself is challenging with lots of elevation and hills. Once you get to know it, it becomes a bit easier to know where the miss is. For a mostly flat area, this gives a bit more excitement then other courses around.
Current condition is a B, of course it's February so everything is still coming back. Greens are a little choppy but will improve into the spring. Some tee boxes (I play Blue), you won't find many nice grassy spots. Expected this time of year.
Overall, for it's price, I'd play this any time. Always a great friendly staff. Love the variety of some tacos at lunch during middle of the week. Can't wait til next time.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, talldustin. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Crystal Falls Golf Course!

Tight course, slow play
The course was in really good shape for this time of year. Very pleased with that. It’s a tight course where accuracy is critical. The slope of several fairways makes it a little less fun because even a rally good tee shot ends up in a poor location. All that aside, the biggest issue is the pace of play. After a few holes were were stacked up waiting as much as 10 minutes to tee off on the next hole. My wife and I are not fast players and we were struggling with how bad the pace was. Without a doubt this needs to be addressed by either widening the gaps between tee times or utilizing a Marshall to speed up play.

Great golf but slow
The course is tough, very hilly terrain but fun. We unfortunately were stuck behind a shotgun group from 1-15. It was a group of 6 very slow. Apparently this is normal The course needs a marshal to keep pace of play. We are going to try again next week, hopefully better pace
