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.

The greens played very fast, but fair. Still a little brown before the bermuda fairways green up, but playable. The bunkers need a lot of work and are mostly clay to try and play out of.

Where’s the sand?

It was very emotional send them virtually all the bunkers. No fun hitting from a trap, especially if it’s red clay. Come on DeKalb County buy some sand!

Fun Little Track

I’m honestly a “golf course snob”, but despite the overall conditions, I really like this course.

A small budget can handcuff the GCS and their staff, but the layout of this course makes up for the conditions. It has a great mixture of long and short holes. Despite the small greens, the undulations and slopes make almost any pin position a challenge. The greens are healing nicely from a recent aerification and even though they are a little bumpy, they are quick.

The overall condition of the tee complexes, fairways, and bunkers are the reason I gave the conditions a three star rating, but I believe that a good fertilization program will bring everything back. This is the first course I’ve played that I wanted my ball to roll into the rough.

This course is still a lot of fun, and I do recommend it to any golfer looking to play a golf course that’s fun and challenging.

First Time Playing

Hidden jewel

First time I had played this course. It was a rather cold day and they had us warming up off the mats which I did not enjoy. After hitting balls it felt like rocks I decided to start my round. There are a few tricky holes if you haven’t played it before but after playing it once I played it again and did better on those holes that are kind of tricky. Greens were punched and sanded but ran true. when the weather comes up and warms up this is going to be a very very nice course again.

Crook Mystery Valley

The course is interesting and challenging as usual. Of course the dormant conditions this time of year did make it a little unpredictable. It was disappointing that there was so many unrepaired ball marks on the greens. I must have repaired 3 or 4 per green.

Great course, selfish partner

Had a reasonably good time playing. Course was fine, pace ok. Lots of older 2somes hit this course because of location and value. They split our 4some into 2 2somes, and let another 2some in between us. The man & wife couple were a little slow, but not bad. My playing partner obviously expected to play alone. He filled every basket and nook and cranny on the cart with his jackets, hats, head covers, balls, drinks, etc., and did not make any room for me when paired up. Additionally, he lost several balls and took extra time looking, even when it delayed the group behind us. Overall had a decent day, notwithstanding an inconsiderate cart partner.

Great shape after Hurricane Michael

I played here the morning after Hurricane Michael dumped 3-4" of rain on the course. I honestly could not believe the course was open, & I feared we'd be playing in swampy conditions. Much to my surprise, the course was in great shape! Except for the bunkers, most of which were converted into small ponds, you'd never know it rained so much. It was 90° rule that day, but I only noticed a few wet spots in the fairways. It must drain very well, don't afraid to play after it's rained. Besides the course conditions, Mystery Valley is a nice layout that offers a challenge for all players. It was my second time playing, & I enjoyed the layout.
