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.

Golfer Reviews
A good test
Rolling hills and lots of side slopes. Had some issues with left struck balls ending on right side due to heavy slope. Play was a bit slow but not the worst I’ve had. Round was 4.5 hours on Saturday.
Fairway were good. Greens were fast but true and consistent.
I’ll be back and would recommend.

Horrendous pace of play
5:02 to play 18 holes! Terrible. No Marshall! Just a money making machine. Cram as many people on as possible.

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!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Goofy layout and unfriendly staff. Course was aerated and was told at check in by the older gentleman “you’re not good enough to play on a good course anyway”. As a former collegiate all American I found this funny but disrespectful.

Just not taken care of
I’m not a fan of leaving negative reviews ever really, but this was a pathetic excuse for a golf course… Literal mounds of sand across every single green remind me a butlers pitch and putt downtown Austin
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Challenges
We played in a 25 mph wind, shot quality is a premium on this course and with the wind and pace of play it had its challenges but it was a beautiful day. Lol
Hello, John2188021. 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.
Booking way too many people for this course!
It took 3 hours to just get 9 holes in. It wasn’t because of slow playing people, purely because they are overbooking their course. Paid for 18, but had absolutely no chance to finish. I would recommend one of the many courses in the area before going to Crystal Falls. What a waste of money!! Thanks Crystal Falls Golf Club! I’ll keep my business with the other courses in the Austin area. Too bad because you’re 10 minutes from my house. Hello Avery Ranch!!!!
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!
Crystal Falls Challenging course
Tough course. fun layout but some rock on the fairway rough cut causing balls to bounce unfairly.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, coopgolftx. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Crystal Falls Golf Course!
Rude Staff and Members
My buddy and I are single digit handicaps and I was once a caddie. Food at the course was awesome Gino makes some good food.
Staff was rude and could tell they have zero respect for younger golfers and one of the members we were grouped with was one of the most inconsiderate people I have ever played with. His name is Wayne. Laughed at us if we hit a bad shots, didn’t repair any divots, and walked through all of our putting lines on every hole. Zero respect for the course or his fellow golfers. I was shocked he was a member.
Course is very tough but absolutely unique and gorgeous. Would definitely play again but the staff and members make you want to never come back again.
I rarely post reviews but how we were treated as guys who both shot in the 70s that day was absolutely unacceptable.

Not for Us
We really did not like this course. It's not in very good condition which has nothing to do with it being February. There a lot of other courses in the area that are much better for a similar value. Also, if you want a bite to eat before you play or after 9, I wouldn't advise it. They have a restaurant there that is trying to be fine dining (Gino's). Food preparation takes a long time and forget about getting a simple hot dog or turkey sandwich. It's very strange they don't have a typical snack bar like most courses. I will say everybody is very nice there, it's too bad the course didn't hold up it's end of the deal.
