About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
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.

Course is in rough shape

Let me start by saying Mystery Valley was one of my favorite courses - an unknown gem. I havent played there in about a year so I was excited when I was invited to go out there for a round by a friend. Unfortunately this course is in super rough shape. The greens have no grass. They are completely unplayable. Condition wise it was the worse golf course I have ever played on - and Im not a golf snob by any means. Hopefully they get this course fixed up - its a nice layout.

Terrible Conditions

With the exception of the two holes that had temporary greens in the fairways, these by far the worst greens I have ever seen or had the displeasure of playing. The greens are dead and have more sand than grass. Absolutely terrible.

GolfNow’s Fault

All greens were completely covered with sand. No notification on GolfNow at all, course staff all were nice and apologized. Would be a great course once it all grows in.

The worst greens

The fair ways were great. The staff was very nice and help. The course fairways and ruff were nice. Just that wneb you got to the green was the problem. There are in no condition to putt a ball.

Someone should be fired

What they let happen to those greens is a crime. They've spent $$$$ to change from Bent to Bermuda then didn't properly take care in the winter. Dekalb county should be ashamed. GM and Greens Keeper how do you sleep at night. That course could be a jewel.
