About
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.

Disappointing
2nd time playing here in 2 years - oh, have the conditions declined. I booked this course because I remember being impressed at the conditions and decent layout only to find the greens to be completely dead and the fairways like a shaggy carpet.
The layout can be challenging due to the narrow fairways, blind tee shots, and dog legs, but the greens absolutely killed my enjoyment. Green fees should be discounted until the course conditions reflect the price.
Always fun at Mystery
This is a classic track that I always enjoy. Challenging, very pretty and in decent shape for the cost and that it is a muny and gets a lot of play.
My big complaint with this joint is that they need to exercise some discipline with groups going out. They let singles , twosomes and threesomes go out and it kills the pace of play. Make these groups pair up and play as foursomes whenever possible, it would be much more enjoyable.

5-soles and dead greens
Mystery valley was an excellent golf course 3 - 4 years ago. Previous neglect by Dekalb County and there inability to run a golf course has ruined this once great place. 1st they cannot set a pin correctly. 2nd they constantly let 5 or more play together. The greens are dead. They contracted the snack bar to a 3rd party and they charge “Las Vegas” prices for beverages and microwaved food from Costco. Spend your time and money somewhere else.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We take single-star feedback very seriously at our course. You are welcome to comment further or reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thanks for visiting Mystery Valley Golf Club.
Great from tee box to fringe
Greens are poor. Bent grass is burned up from heat. Club is set to begin the conversion to dwarf Bermuda (heat tolerant)
From the tee boxes to the fringe, the course is great.
The club personnel are friendly and professional

Will Definitely be Back
Could tell I was going to like this course on the drive in - long winding driveway through the course. They had a sizable driving range where we were able to hit off grass, chipping area, and (fairly rough) putting green. To be fair, the quality of the putting green was good prep for the course - pretty bad shape. However, that’s the ONLY complaint I had.
We played on a Saturday afternoon (twilight) and pace of play was outstanding, but I’m sure the morning experience would have been different.
This course was plenty challenging and more than long enough from the whites for me as I typically shoot in the 90s. Big penalty for missing fairways here and on most holes, going over the green will have you struggling to find your ball. Thick stuff out there with balls just-off the fairway being buried.
All in all, if you’re a stickler about green conditions this isn’t the course for you (at least until their repairs are complete), but if you’re just looking for a fun round of golf then this one should be more than satisfactory.

Not Quite Right Yet
I played decently and the .weather was perfect. The fairways were decent but the rough was rough, and worst of all, were the greens. All of the greens looked terrible; like they were sick or something. They rolled fairly true but we really damp and sickly looking. I don't think this course is quite right just yet.

Greens

Evening round
I had a 1620 tee time and went off about 1615. First thing that you notice is that the greens are in horrendous condition. The layout is ok, however, the most disappointing part was on the green of 17 the ranger came out and said it 1930 and I had to go in and I could not finish the round. This was disappointing for a couple of reasons, if not for the extremely slow foursome I caught up to (I was playing as a single) I would have got my whole round in. Even more disappointing however is that if the average pace of play is 4 hours they should not over 1640 tee times knowing that it is near impossible to finish the complete round. Over all very disappointing. Additionally it was mildly frustrating that I couldn’t buy a bottle of water at the turn because it was “closed” even though it was still staffed.

Greens are the issue
Very nice course. But the course has an issue. The bent grass greens are failing due to the heat. They plan to replace them next year with Bermuda grass greens. You are charged a$2 capital improvement fees to help finance the new greens. Other than the greens the course is in great shape.

The course is looking great!
The course is looking great and you can tell a lot of work is being done to make it nice. The pace of play was a little slow, but was able to play thru.
I like seeing the grill open again. I hope everyone buys a little something from it, too keep it going.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Mystery Valley Golf Club!
