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.

Spectacular!
The course very scenic and the fairways were in prime condition. Greens were in good shape for summer with one on the back 9 under repair. Not at all crowded by surrounding homes.
Knowing this course well can have a huge impact. If you are wide, the terrain can offer a big helping hand or a complete bust.
Will definitely be back soon!
Hi, u120509505. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Crystal Falls Golf Course.
Greens are in bad, bad shape! Fairways actually in good shape
Putting was not possible. Greens are in bad, bad shape. Several damaged areas on multiple greens and if not fully damaged, the green had bad gaps. I love the course and will play it again and again. I hope the greens recover and soon.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, RG184F6072CD5400210C. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Crystal Falls Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
It's ok.
Crystal Falls is a beautiful layout with incredible views and sounds of nature. The course layout is fair but for hole#9. That thing should be erased from the course :-)
Most of the greens are in terrible shape. Not sure if that is the result of the Feb freeze or poor management.
I would play the course again because it's beautiful and 8 min from my house.

Shameful greens
All tee boxes where excellent and most of the fairways were excellent as well but the greens where not. Almost every single green had brown spots where there was no grass or brown dyeing grass. Great course just went downhill. Many of my putts yesterday where a rollercoster ride with all the uneven greens due to those brown spots.

Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
Hot deal for $28 plus tax and fees is a bargain
I enjoy playing Crystal Falls and will keep it in my rotation of courses to visit. There are some greens that are in pretty rough shape, but the course is in really good condition otherwise (thus 4 stars on conditions rather than 5). The person I usually see in the clubhouse is really nice and helpful; today's person could take a few lessons. I don't need to have a red carpet rolled out, but grumpiness is a bummer. The young woman working the beverage cart was very pleasant; she'll make more if she slows down a bit and checks to see if anyone is thirsty!

Crystal Falls 6-20-2021
Tee to green conditions were good, greens appeared very stressed and haven't recovered from the winter. Made for a challenging day putting. Hopefully they will improve with the warmer weather.

Quit after 14 holes
Pace of play was on pace for 5 hour plus round.
No marshal on course to speed things along.
Waited 20 minutes each on holes 10, 11, 12 . Two foursomes in front slowed everyone up. Course was in nice shape and shame we only got 14 holes in before quitting but heat was too much to just wait around watching the grass grow.
Played many times and never this slow.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Hasn't changed
It didn't help that it rained all week and just before we played. Hadn't played it for a while and it is still a crappy design. Needs a complete overhaul.

Hasn't changed
This course hasn't changed, even worse when you play it wet! Rained all week and just before tee off. My buddy has had a design to redo this course for 5 years and it truly needs it. Stinking council keeps changing so it gets put off every year. He finally got approval to update the range, at least that is a start.
