Type Public
Par 72
Length 6766 yards
Slope 125
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.

Excellent experience and golfing day

My great experience started with the front office staff, the gentleman was polite, pleasant and courteous. Great way to start the day. I took my wife out to play for her birthday. We had no one in front of us or pushing us the entire day, tee’d off at 10am.

The course is in excellent shape, greens are super and even the bunkers had great sand, luckily I didn’t have to play from them.

We had a great day and look forward to playing here more often. Keep up the great work Dekalb!

Enjoy

Good condition all the way around, but jeez, fire the guy that mows the greens, greens are circular for a reason, don't be so lazy, make the green a circle with your cut, don't just pick up your blades and go back n forth. The couse is in to good a shape for that bs.Take some pride in your work.

Good County Course For The Money

Fairway in good condition, almost all the greens are in great shape and the tee boxes need a little work. Overall, it is a pretty decent course to play and would recommend.

Nice round

Been playing Mystery Valley for over 40 years, and it's always nice.

It's a county course, run by a management company who does it as cheaply as possible, so the course could be in better shape, but it's good for what it is.

I'll always return

Great course, good value

I always enjoy coming to Mystery Valley. I'm usually a single, almost always get placed with other golfers. Today was no exception, the guys I played with were great company. We all had a pretty good day! Course was in good shape, the weather was perfect.

A Hidden Gem!

This is a great run and a true gem on the east side of Atlanta. Pretty open with a lot of up and down; never a flat lie on the course which adds to the challenge. The new greens and tee boxes are innperfect condition. A must play course for sure.

Solid

We greens are great. We played a soaked round so it was cart path only. The guy in the clubhouse could use a lesson of customer service and the course could use a Marshall. Pace of play was very bad. No reason for a 6 hour round.
