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.

Price comparable

This is good golf course but the price does not reflect the value compared to other good golf courses in the area. Southland better value any day of the week, stone mountain have great specials as well as smoke rise. The County needs to do a better job making this course worth what they want to charge.

Once upon a time . . .

. . . I played Mystery Valley every week and usually enjoyed myself. My last three visits there, however, were progressively disappointing. Simply put, the course is not being taken care of. Weeds in many of the greens, "sand" bunkers as hard as a rock, and pace of play Friday through Sunday that can only be described as painfully slow. If all you want is a place where you can hit golf balls without breaking any windows, this is it. Sad.

Needs Attention

Remains a great layout with some challenges but an equal number of “catch ups.” Very disappointed at the condition of the greens and tee boxes — serious work required to correct Bermuda intrusion and countless unrepaired ball marks on greens. Entrance to clubhouse is via a (permanently?) closed bar/snack bar and the pro shop really has nothing to offer. No rangers in evidence so pace of play was awful — five hour round! This course has great potential but really needs work and attention. No amenities or beverage cart available. You can play at better courses in the Atlanta area for smaller greens fees — try Chateau Elan to see how a good course is run!

Response from on 09/20/2017:
The greens are struggling due to some unexpected weeds that have come into the greens. We are currently working on ways to make them better, however, please keep in mind this is still the hot season and with bent grass greens there is only so much we can do until the weather changes. All in all the course should be on the uptrend in the next month or so.

Disappointing

I have played this course many times over the last few years. This is the worst I have ever seen the greens. Only about 3 of them did not have weeds. South land greens next door are in much better shape.

well what can you say

Arrived at the course right after a short rain burst. Pace of play was excellent and the fairways and roughs were manageable. The only blemish was the greens, which were really rough and wild growth abound.
