Rating 71.7

Mystery Valley Golf Club encompasses 230 acres of gently rolling land that ranges from dense forests of towering Georgia pines to grassy meadows covered in acres of colorful wildflowers. Mystery Valley is known for both the beautiful scenery on the course itself and the stunning views from the elevated tees. There are two lakes and a pond that dot the course, coming into play on three holes. At just over 6,700 yards, the layout features some long holes but it will also test your short game with strategically placed bunkers around the fast, medium-sized greens. There is an interesting variety of holes including several winding par 5s and the watery and treacherous 15th hole, which is considered one of Atlanta's most challenging par 4s. The more challenging elements of Mystery Valley Golf Club are balanced by the generous, player-friendly fairways.

Laughable course

Fine layout. Decent conditions. Terrible pace of play. I’m 3 1/2 hours into a round and we are on the hole 12 tee. No ranger to move play along.

Blow the Darn Greens...

Everything is really good. BUT 15-16-17 pick up a lot of debris on the greens. you have got to send someone out a few times a day, almost once an hour on a windy day..17 green was unplayable due to debris on the green. you're better than this, it really slows play if i have to spend unnecessary time to clean up the green...

Solid course for the average golfer

This is very much the kind of course I enjoy playing. It has a relatively open layout, though there are still plenty of holes where you need to know your target off the tee. It appears in their recent greens renovation they also removed several bunkers around the greens, which I actually think was probably a good idea. The pin placements were tough enough as it was. I'm looking forward to seeing this course in the spring/summer when the grass is green and the trees are in bloom, I imagine it will be very pretty. The new greens were nice but much too slow. Downhill putts were stopping before the hole, even with a solid hit, I really think they need to speed them up. The chipping and putting practice areas were a bit small, but did the job. The clubhouse is cute and prices for food and drink seemed reasonable. Friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back.

Shhh. Don't tell anyone it's in great shape!

Played Mystery Valley for the first time in several months. It's one of my favorite public courses on the east side of Atlanta because it's inexpensive, usually in decent shape, it's a very playable layout (not gimmicky like some of its neighbors), and you can get around in under 5 hours, even on a busy day (4:15 today with a beginner in our group and nobody pushing us).

It was a cold, drizzly day with a little bit of wind.

When I checked in, the team was very friendly and they told me that the greens and bunkers had all been re-done. Here's my take: the greens are in amazing shape! They putted true, although the speeds were inconsistent (probably weather related). I only played out of one bunker, but it was perfect even in wet conditions. (Note: In the past I would drop out of their bunkers because they were often unplayable.)

The fairways are dormant but still in great shape, as always.

The practice facility isn't amazing, but it's just right if all you need is a warm up before your round. Driving range had mats (because of the rain?), the chipping and putting greens were in good shape (just a little small if you have a full day).

The grill was open for the first time in my experience. Nothing fancy but the chicken fingers and fries were hot and good. We called in an order after #8 and it was ready at the turn.

Great job, Mystery Valley. I love what you've done with the place. We'll be back soon.

Many improvements

They have new greens which are great. Fairways were good. Only real problem I had with the course 1as the rough was so deep sometimes I could not find my ball. Even just a foot or 2 in the rough.
