Crystal Falls Golf Course

This was my first golf outing at this facility. The grounds were in great shape. Course played at a fast pace (3.5)hrs on a Monday morning. it was great to see lots of water in the creeks. Great course!! Will I return, oh yes!!!

Course was in great condition, the greens were a little slow. The carts were equipped with an audible alarm to help keep out restricted areas but were at such a high frequency that I was unable to hear it. So once I drove on a fairway without realizing that it was restricted and ended up having to push the cart about fifty yards before it would restart. In 95 degree heat this was very difficult for a senior golfer such as myself. But all-in-all a very enjoyable day.

The course was in great condition. The greens had been repaired which were sandy but still made the course that more difficult.

Crystal Falls GC is in amazing condition and the staff is top notch. i will be back and hopefully soon.

Very scenic course that is in very good condition even after all of the rain.

Staff was great as they let my wife and I go off as a twosome. We are just not that good and would hold the other couple up.

I booked a tee time for two players on Golf Now.com for Saturday 5/23/15. The weather was 'iffy' for rain the entire day but we decided to chance it . We made it through the front 9 with rain gradually starting by the 8th hole. We were paired up with one other single player who when we got to the clubhouse after nine, went in and got a 9 hole rain check since we were being told on our GPS to return to the clubhouse. When I went in to get my 9 hole rain check I was told that I needed to go through Golf Now to get my credit -WHY????? Crystal Falls was already paid for my entire round of golf. Would it have killed them to refund 9 holes of golf? Failing that attempt, I contacted Golf Now the next day. They contacted Crystal Falls while I was holding on the phone and they were told that I had teed off and they did not consider themselves to have been closed (the golf cart GPS said to retina to the clubhouse) so they would not give any refund -rediculous!!! I deserve a refund for the golf holes I couldn't play

I have played this course for a long time, they have made this course ten times better than when I first played it. If you haven't been out there in a while you will see tremendous changes including nice fairways good greens and a fun and challenging course set in the scenic hill country.

Haven't played this course in over a year, but it will be rotation again this summer/fall. If you've never played this course, do so soon. Make sure to check your ego in the parking lot. The fairways are nothing to take lightly. The course is not to long, but you must bring accuracy. Otherwise play you slices, hooks, fades, draws, and anything else. Cause the balls will move in many directions.

I found alot of unnecessary cart path only especially on the very long par 5s. As a senior citizen (77) I found this aspect of the course very tiring.

Staff is great! Course is in great shape, very challenging, greens are VERY fast and with undulations. I play here once a month or so. You can always find a great price or hot deal on Golf Now.

Great challenging course. I would recommend this couse for anyone wanting a challenge to their game. A lot of sloping fairways and pretty tough putting greens.
Also a lot of different driving tees with elevation challenges.

The course was in good shape. I will play there again when I'm in thxe area. I didn't give food & beverage a higher rating because we didn't eat.

Very sloped fairways and greens and greens were rock hard.

This course has about the most magnificent views I have ever played. I will definitely play it again.

Course is challenging but fair. Hill country layout makes for some difficult shots, so course management is very important.

Course is decent with a few holes not designed very well in my opinion. Most holes are cart path only and cart will quit on you if you stray. We played 6 courses around nw Austin and this was our least favorite.

Good:

- The price myself and my wife got from Golf Now
- The very nice and friendly lady at the club house bar
- The course layout is challenging
- The evidence of their spring aeriation and over-seeding is re-assuring

Bad:

- The DGS (?) GPS system inside the cars need to be re-aligned. Without going over the "CARTS" sign, or traveling more than 5 feet off the actual fairway, we got 5+ annoying beeps or continuous tones telling us we were off the course. One one occasion, the cart completely shut down. I spent the next five minutes having to look up the clubhouse and have them reset my car. All the while, there are groups stacking up behind us.

When the shut down happened I was on the fairway at least 8 feet from the CART sign. Besides being embarassing, it was pretty irritating when after the reset we were subjected to 10 minutes telling us that we were behind pace, we needed to let people pass through, or thank you messages. Beep, beep, beep...

- We all understand that PAR 3 are cart path only, but Crystal Falls also shut down using the cart on three PAR 4;s and one PAR 5 for what the Marshall told us was water. Well guess what, there wasn't a water problem that couldn't have been easily marked off like they did on the 18th hole. On everyone of these holes, I checked at every shot for water or squishyness. Nothing... Thanks Crystal Falls...

- Since when does a $60-70 a player course not have a cooler on the cart?

The course was in decent shape. The greens were fast and rolled very true. This is one of the more challenging courses that I have played in the area. Very few holes that are not guarded by hazards.

Rained early in the day, but course drained well. Challenging, but fair !
