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.

Good round

Crystal Falls is a scenic golf course offering a challenging set of 18 holes. It seems like the course over seeded for the dry season which is totally fair, but made the pace of play slow considering the golf carts couldn’t drive on 90% of the fairways.

Greens need some work and golf etiquette needs to be emphasized here. No one repaired their divots, but the greens rolled FAST!

If I could change a few things, I would increase the tee time blocks between players by 7 minutes or so. I would also love to see a discount offered for the course conditions.

Leander’s Golf Gem

A course you should absolutely try when you’re in the Austin area! This is my home course and truly one of my favorites. Great staff, awesome layout, and a really fun design to play for all skill levels. Great driving range and practice greens on either side of the clubhouse. Have been coming here for a year now and will happily continue to!

Always a Gem!

Crystal never disappoints. I've played here for years and is always my go to course. They really got things looking good - #9 has never looked better. Thank you for taking care of the course.

I play before 8:30 typically and you can expect rounds under 4:15 on average, sometimes I've finished under 4 hours.

I just wish they would bring back food and alcohol...a must have on golf courses!

Great course - No Food/Drinks

The course I’d already great, challenging layout. Great value.

They really need to fix the lack of food/beverage situation. It’s ridiculous. Bring your own drinks and food. The bbq trailer is unbelievably slow and the food was not good.

Great course! You have to know where you do not want to be to get in a good position on the greens.

Good course but unhappy

Good, challenging course but leaving unhappy. Played with a group of 3 and got paired with a single. Every other course I’ve played gives the single his/her own cart. Starter told me I would have to pay more for another cart if I didn’t let the single ride in my cart. Obviously, no one wants to ride with the rando when you are in a group of 3. Also, no liquor. Golf day ruined.
