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.

Pace of Play Ruined it

Solid condition for this time of the year. Staff is always friendly. Layout is fun. But all that means little when the pace of play is atrocious and they do nothing to improve it. Had to give up after 14 holes after already being on the course for 4 and a half hours. Was on pace for a 6.5 hour round. Ended up skipping holes 15-18 and headed home.

Course is getting ready for new greens

Sand in traps was excellent. Greens were fast. Overall condition of tees and fairways was good. The only problems were the sanded dead spots on some of the greens and small patches of dirt without grass. However, if you play those bad places as ground under repair, the rest of the greens are very good.

Greens are in TERRIBLE condition

I am a huge fan of Mystery Valley but the course condition has taken a nosedive since the last time I was out. Fairways are in good shape but pretty much every green is covered in massive dead spots so you're putting half on grass and half on dirt. They are planning on re-doing all the greens next year but it is no excuse for the deplorable condition they are in now. I would have been livid if I had paid full price and I will definitely not be back until I hear the repairs are completed

Good, needs some work

There were fairways that were patchy, the greens were patchy but still rolled pretty well. The staff were very friendly which is always a plus. We played 18 in under 4 hours without rushing. There are signs that they will be renovating the greens so hopefully that issue will be solved. I'm sure we'll be back as overall it's still a good course.

Great layout. Should be great in a year!

The course has a great layout & was mostly very well maintained. Fairways, rough, and all the bunkers were excellent. The staff was even grooming the bunkers during our round. But the greens are terrible. At the turn, in the restroom, we saw notices that the greens are planned to be replanted next year. So- depending on the greens being fixed, the course will be great.

On the day I booked my outing. There was no indicator on the website the back 9 was closed, pace of place always at a crawl and one one of your grounds keeps berated a member of my party. A 73 year old man because of where he left

His cart. Totally abismal experience.

Greens Need Improvement

I've always known that Mystery Valley was a DeKalb county course. We were told at the club house that it used to be managed by a management company but earlier this year the county took it over. Sadly it shows. Every single green has dead spots across them. In some cases it looks they sanded them and went a little overboard.

Aside from that the pace of play was great. We finished in 3 and half hours. I was expecting to see a lot more people out there for a Sunday but the parking lot was only half full. Don't know if it was because of the holiday weekend or if word has gotten out about the condition of the greens.

Greens are horrific

I love this course but the greens were horrific. I've never seen an entire 18 greens in this shape. They said they are about to redo the greens.. this should have been disclosed and reflected in the green fees charged. Unfortunate. Bad business practice.
