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
Hello, DavidJCastillo. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Crystal Falls Golf Course.
Very nice course
Have played here before but I think this is the best shape the course has ever been when I have played.
Green were smooth and most fairways were in great shape. A few low areas still were wet, so some drainage issue perhaps, but certainly a great value IMO.

Beautiful course
If you are a golfer that enjoys scenic courses, like me, then this is a must in the Austin area. The changes in elevation really make it a fun course to play. As a very average golfer, I found it tough to play, but I enjoyed the challenge. My only complaint was the greens played real slow. It was also cart path only, which was brutal on a 90 degree day.

Great layout, and tuff
Crystal Falls will afford you the ability to use every club in your bag. Go play it yourself, if you don’t believe this short and to the point review.

Fun to play BUT…….
Course was enjoyable but there was NO cold water to drink on-course. With a heat index over 105, this is unacceptable.

A diamond in the rough
Crystal Falls is a hidden gem among the hills of Leander with great elevation changes that provide scenic views. Although it is a great course with a difficult yet attackable layout, the course needs some TCL in course management as the fairways and tee boxes are littered with i filled divots due to the lack of sand provided. The clubhouse could use a much needed facelift along with the golf carts that could help boost the course to stay competitive with nearby courses that offer onscreen GPS and bluetooth capability.

A diamond in the rough
I did not expect the course to have such drastic elevation changes and great views to go along with it. Although it does need better course management due to lack of sand to use because divots cover the course. The golf carts could use an upgrade as well to compete with surrounding courses with updated on screen GPS and bluetooth capability.
Hello, brazielca. Thank you for visiting us at Crystal Falls Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Best value course I’ve played in Austin
I was very pleasantly surprised with my experience at Crystal Falls. Interesting lay out with some fun elevated par 3s, good risk reward holes… a shot makers course. Conditions were good, some patchy areas but that’s expected, greens rolled well, staff was friendly and pace of play was good. They were doing a kitchen remodel so the amenities were not there but looks like they are making improvements. Best value of any course I’ve played in the Austin area
