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.

Value for your money

We caught a hot deal and the price was great. The pace of play was excellent (11:25 Tee Time), others on the course were courteous and friendly. I love the layout especially hole #10. I’ll be back to play because it’s a good atmosphere.

Memories are always better than reality

~10 yrs ago I lived fairly close to MV and went 2x per week on avg. I loved this course and the layout.

Fast forward to now and my friends were going to take me anywhere I wanted to go for my birthday golf day. I couldn't think of anywhere else I wanted to go than MV for the nostalgia of it. Upon arrival I was shocked at the price difference between online and at the clubhouse. Apparently the advertised rates online don't include the cart rental anymore. Seems a little misleading, but not a big deal as I've noticed a few courses using this tact, it was just a surprise to be wary of. I was disappointed by the condition of the course - i know green fees have gone up globally, but you still expect to get something for your money. There were several places of ground under repair and the bunkers were simply mud pits. Only One bunker actually had sand. The mix of walkers and carts created a lot of waiting and our round was close to 5 hrs as a result.

It was extremely hot and I'm appreciative for the water coolers. Many courses have abandoned this practice during covid times - but it would've been really nice to see a cart girl coming around. Apparently they don't have them or there wasn't one working that day.

At the end of the day, I felt kinda bad that I had drug my friends on this 2 hour trip to play there. Its still a decent course but the cost has outpaced the value.

Hi, Tstrick77. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways, greens, and sand traps. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Mystery Valley Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

A true GA golf course

Mystery Valley feels like a course that a "player" would build. The rolling Georgia terrain isn't overly sculpted by bulldozers to create a surreal magazine cover experience. There are very few flat lies and the greens are small. The course plays well after rain due to its natural drainage. The practice area has both chipping and putting greens along with a grass driving range. The sand traps are mud.

Great Public Course!

First time playing here, it’s a fun layout, mostly open (a few holes have tight tee shots), best greens I’ve played on for a public course. The bunkers and the tee boxes could use a little work but all in all a great course for the money! I will definitely be back.

Duffer friendly experience

Really enjoyed the back 9 and overall had a great experience on a Friday afternoon, but hard to ignore the shoddiness of the greens on the front 9. If you’re a beginner, this is a great course — wide open and forgiving. If you’re a 10ish handicap or better, playing from te back très will allow you to go lower than normal. But this is really the perfect course for the duffer that’s going to shoot between 90-110, drink a few beers, and just be happy to not be paying more elsewhere or not be playing at all.
