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.

Great course with new greens

Excellent conditions but the rough is brutal. Cutting the rough down to 2” would help the pace of play by at least 30 minutes by reducing time spent looking for wayward shots.

New greens are great

It was my first time playing since the new greens opened and I was very pleased with them. They held most approach shots and rolled true. Bunkers also were in good shape and most fairways and tee boxes were good. Only minor issue was a slow foursome that wouldn't let the twosome ahead of me play through.

New greens roll great!

I was waiting for a Mystery Valley to complete their greens renovations and it did not disappoint. Only one green was a little patchy, but the rest had about 95% coverage with lush Bermuda. The greens were still a bit firm, which is to be expected but 100% playable and enjoyable.

Also, all the fairway and green side bunkers had ample sand and were all raked.

I paid 50 bucks on a Sunday morning and finish the round and 3 1/2 hours. Incredible for Atlanta golf.

The course is in great shape

The greens are open again after a summer of rebuilding. The tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and especially the greens are in great shape. Best conditions I've seen in years.

Return to the Valley

After waiting 4 1/2 months to play on the new greens, it was worth the wait. Greens were outstanding with only minor blemishes on a few greens. Fairways, tee boxes and sand traps were very good also. Excellent public course.

Nice Course, under renovations now so be weiry

This course is currently going through renovations but no where was it mentioned when booking, the greens are not able to be access so they made make shift holes in the fairway leading to the greens. Hole 16 is totally un accessible so they split the par 4 17th into 2 par 3's. Needless to say was not worth playing in this condition. Once it's done I will return as the course layout is very nice but until further notice I'll pass.

Great practice course for now, will be great in September.

Greens are temporary untill Sep 1. The price is a great deal to go and work some kinks out, which is exactly how I utilized the course. The fairways and course layout is very open and forgiveable. I played on a Monday afternoon solo and was in and out in 3 hours. Will be a very enjoyable round come fall! Staff was very friendly too.
