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.

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.

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.

Great value

There’s no starter so it’s a free for all. I teed off at my designated time and the two singles and one pair who were near the tee box waited and watched. None of them wanted to join so off I went and they waited. I had to wait 6-8 minutes per hole because of the pair in front of me. When we made the turn the group two ahead of me were still on the teebox. Instead of committing to the 5+ hour round, I circled back to #1. Finished the second 9 in an hour, no waiting.

The layout is fun, requires some precision shots. The greens were exactly the speed I like them which is probably slow for most people. I loved them…rolled in a good number of 1 putts.

Overall the value for the money can’t be matched at this course. It’s not a country club so expect some rough spots on the greens, some hard teeboxes, and a lot of “ground under repair”. The bunkers were great surprisingly. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.

If you don’t break 80 consistently, play from the white tees, you’ll really enjoy this course.

Had to wait 5 minutes at every hole, after 3 hours I had to give it up. The front 9 is in great shape, hoping to go back earlier in the week.

I’ll be back!

Passing through the front gate, you drive between most of the front and it’s a GREAT intro.

Friendly and helpful staff, the 1st is a par 5 that gets you going well.

Bunkers are well placed, clean with nice soft sand.

Not much water in play, but I did manage to find it twice.

A surprise on the back is a nice view of Stone Mountain.

I will go back…starting with Father’s Day with my sons!
