Length 6766 yards

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.

One of my favorite places to play.

Mystery Valley is a very enjoyable round of golf. It did get backed up on the back nine, though. Will play here again

Disappointed

Not worth the price right now. People need to start raking bunkers again. It's good layout just not worth $50. Looks like greens were punched a little while ago but had not recovered yet.

Good course that will get better as it gets later in the season

This is my third time playing at MV. I loved the course when I played it previously, but this was my first time out there in 2022. The course is in good shape and the bunkers are great but there are a lot of bare tee boxes and the greens still haven’t completely grown back in from when they were punched. They are also changing the layout of some traps/greens and that grass is still dead in those spots. Finally, Unfortunately they didn’t have any coolers out on the course which was an inconvenience because it it starting to get hot again. The course is playable now but will definitely be in much better shape as the season goes on

Go somewhere else

Without notice or explanation, they shut down course at 7:30 while sun was shining. Was on hole 14 after enduring ridiculous slow pace (they do not manage this), and rudely ordered to bring carts back “right now.” No signs, no indicator on GolfNow … felt ripped off, a sentiment shared by all the others trying to finish.

Forget about it.

The condition of this course was deplorable. The tee boxes were dirt and sand, the fairways were chewed up with divots everywhere, the bunkers were unkempt and the greens, unfortunately, were just punched.

Sand Traps Under Renovation

Great muni course. Greens are fast and smooth. Fairways are fine, but some bare spots and some weeds. Some of the tee boxes are a little bare; probably need more sun. Snack bar has a dozen or so items including hot dogs and beer, but I didn’t buy anything. One big plus that most courses are missing-they have showers!

Greens were aerated and sandy but still rolled well. Bunkers were being redone. Glad they're putting some money into the course as it's a really fun layout

Mystery Valley Improvements

Mystery Valley has new sand in its bunkers, making sand shots a lot fairer than in the past. Fairways are "greening up", too. The greens were medium speed -- somewhat fast downhill, slow uphill. They showed sanded plug holes from recent aeration, but that didn't have any effect on putts. The only downside to our otherwise excellent day was that we followed a "tournament", making our usual sub-4 hour round closer to 5 hours.

Conditions were very bad. Not worth $45 whatsoever. Bunkers were essentially concrete. Branches everywhere. Greens were covered in gum balls and pine straw
