Mystery Valley Golf Club
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.

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!
Coming around
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
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Mystery Valley Golf Club, and we hope to see you again soon.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future to earn that last star!
Slow pace of play
Mystery Valley is a very nice course but habitually slow pace of play.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
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.
Thank you for visiting us at Mystery Valley Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Conditions
Conditions were very bad. Not worth $45 whatsoever. Bunkers were essentially concrete. Branches everywhere. Greens were covered in gum balls and pine straw
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We apologize for the poor experience you had during your visit. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Mystery Valley Golf Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
Don’t book on golfnow
Golf now tee times don’t show up in their system. They double booked our tee time as a result. Just call the clubhouse instead, it’s the same price
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future to earn that last star!
Been playing MVGC since the early 70s.
Glad to see the sand trap renovations. I know that ain't cheap.
Thank you for visiting us at Mystery Valley Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Go play if not played recently
Great deal. Greens in good shape, fairways & tee boxes need attention, grass thin.
Renovating sand traps
Thank you for visiting us at Mystery Valley Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Very well laid out course
Very playable from senior markers. Tee boxes could use some TLC. Teeing area especially on Par 3 holes had no grass and were very sandy.
Overall a pleasure to play this well laid out course with friendly staff
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Mystery Valley Golf Club thanks you!
Bad day to play course under repair
Love playing here but today wasn’t the day. Greens were awful due to aeration. Pace of play was awful. I had to skip3 holes or it would’ve been a 5 hour round and I was playing by myself… too many slow folks out there and that’s not for me on a week day… folks at clubhouse are nice but he didn’t tell me about the greens either…. I’m not that old but this course has a lot of 75 and older folks that play here so beware when you book this place.

Where was the aeration warning
Everything was good except not getting an aeration warning from golfnow when I booked the tee time. Understand that it is needed but a warning would have been much appreciated. Staff was great.

Please feel free to reach out to our staff in the pro shop with any additional concerns. We hope to see you again soon.
Golf Now was a BIG mistake
All 4 of us got to the course but Golf Now had not notified the course and there were two tournaments starting. Golf Now never submitted their tee sheet to the course.
Big failure on Gol Now's part.
Beautiful and fun course
I'm not a big golfer, but enjoy playing this with my family. It's beautiful with so much water and so many trees, and the course flows well. The staff is very friendly, and it's a great value, especially compared to some of the other private courses.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Mystery Valley Golf Club.
Golf Now failed me
Golf now failed to flag their special about recently aerated greens and no sand traps and cart path only. No warnings or discounts for sub par course conditions. Mystery valley is a great course. Golf now should know better
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave us your feedback. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced when booking your tee time.

Overbooked
They didn’t have carts available, there were two foursomes in front of us. The first one was not on time but were given golf carts while they waited 30 minutes for the rest of their party to show. When they finally teed off hole 1-3 were empty. They should’ve given the carts to the parties that were responsible and showed up on time. My partner and I would’ve gone off at the correct time as well as the group in between us and the tardy foursome. It will be a LONG time before I go back if at all.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes.
Your feedback helps us do better. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly.
Thank you for visiting Mystery Valley Golf Club. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
