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.

Very Playable

Greens renovation a success & in good shape as is overall course. Tee boxes have been overseeded. Rough is thick & penal, causing additional time to locate ball & is difficult to hit from.

Recommend & would play again. Not busy day we played

Don't overlook this gem

I had heard about the problems they'd had with their greens and so I waited until they got that mess fixed, and fixed it they have. All the sand traps have also been fixed, so now not only will your putts roll true but you won't be dealing with hard pan in the bunkers. This is a really good track, at least when it is properly taken care of, and my partner and I had a great time today. I'll be back.

Fluffy rough

I like the course but Rhett have this very fluffy rough everywhere that just swallows golf balls whole. Spent so much time looking for balls that were a few feet off the fairway. They just disappear out there. Not a fan y’all gotta mow that stuff

Temporary Greens

The course had a great layout and would’ve been a lot of fun to play if there weren’t temporary greens. Didn’t realize this when we signed up for the tee time, and still paid full price for a course with 13 temporary greens.

Worth the price

Greens were just released for full play two days prior so they were really in good shape. Course layout is nice, plenty of challenges and some tight shots off the tee. If you try to play driver all the way through the course will punish you..

Temp Greens

Course in good shape and very few golfers on the course. Only drawback is new greens have been installed on about half the holes so you play to a poor temporary green. Otherwise all good.

Conditions are improving

The course layout is very good. Although the Bermuda rough could be a bit lower as I lost a few balls that were in the fairway rough. The best news is the course is looking better and the greens will be open in a few days. Overall it’s a fine course with friendly staff and I enjoy the layout. I do recommend the course and I expect the rating to go up now that the course conditions look more promising than they have this summer.

All of the greens were under repair except for about 4. Temporary greens were placed in the fairway and were terrible. I would not have played there had I known about the greens. This should have been disclosed at the time of booking for the round.

Bad

Greens were being redone and I had 0 clue about it. They cut out the fairway in front of the green and it was still at fairway cut. Wouldn’t have played for the price I did if I knew about the conditions.

Great Staff

The course is currently undergoing some improvement work on the greens. The front nine is open and the back nine are temporarily closed. The layout is good with reasonably wide fairways. The staff are excellent. I am glad they are working on the greens to get everything in tip top shape since I enjoy the full layout of this course. The rates are very competitive for the Atlanta market.

May or may not return

They were doing work on the course and set up temporary greens. Essentially using a small area on the fairway and calling it a green. Problem was, the grass wasn’t flat, like normal greens. And the cup holes were not crisp and we all missed several putts.

Course layout is good. Staff was excellent. However I may or may not return because of the distance from my house. I’m sure today’s course conditions aren’t the norm. Hopefully when the normal greens are in play it’s much better.

Maintenance

Course maintenance was a disaster. “Greens” in the middle of fairways and multiple single holes condensed in two holes that were practically chipping practice. Would need a much bigger discount to play again.
