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.

Worst I've Ever Seen The Course

Not sure if there is new management, but the course is by far the worst I have ever seen it. Had always been a solid course to play, but after yesterday, I definitely could not say that!

It might be an issue with golf course maintenance staff. Saw a sign that they were trying to hire for that position.

Fun course with bad greens on the front 9.

The greens on the front 9 need replacing. They are diseased and lots of bare spots. It would help greatly if they were rolled occasionally. The ball was bouncing too much and it affected the putts. I won't go back till the greens are fixed. Some bunkers need sand and rocks removed. The tee boxes and fairways are in excellent shape. The course is fun and challenging.

Greens were not in good condition and the grass was too high in the roughs. Lost several balls because got tired of looking for them in areas where you would normally find them easily.

Great layout. Thick rough.

This is the 2nd time I played here. Our group played from the tips. The fairways were in good condition, but the rough was more challenging than expected. Thick in spots, but deep and fluffy in others, where it made finding tee shots and some 2nd shots hard to find even on decent tee shots that just rolled in. So a few lost balls on shots that shouldn't have been,a and of course the pace was slowed with the search party needed to help find them. There was also some big patches of cut grass piled up in spots which didn't help. If you stayed in the fairway it was a different day for you. The greens were receptive and rolled nice, however the traps were very inconsistent, and not raked.

Great Layout, Poor Everything Else

Layout great, crazy lies, elevation changes, mix of trees & water everywhere. And the buck stops here! Greens were diseased & patchy, your ball lie rally jumps it's wash to the cup as it hits bump after bump after bump. Fairways were a mix of weeds, dandelions, & red clay. Bunkers rock solid... Maybe because they were full of rocks. This course is a classic case of getting what you pay for, see a deal at $25 think twice, pay the extra $10, $15 & go somewhere that's worth it...

Beautiful Course

The golf course was in good condition. Some spots in the fairway needed to be cut a little bit lower, but otherwise the course was good. The greens are rather fast especially as the day got hotter and the greens dried out. The bunkers need sand. Almost every hole has some sort of elevation change. It may have been the tee box elevated above the fairway or the fairway above the green. Very nice scenery.

Very nice municipal course

Can't believe I've never played this course before and I am a county resident. It is definitely off the beaten path in Dekalb county. I played in the middle of the day in the middle of the week and the course was decently busy. I was a single, but pace was great even when I ran into two foursomes on the back nine. I still finished in a little over 3 hours.

I was very impressed with the overall condition of the course. The greens were in great shape and true. My only critique were the bunkers. These aren't really sand traps. More like compacted dirt than has been raked over. I can get out of sand traps, but it took me a couple of errant shots to learn to stay out of these things.

In the Atlanta area as far as municipal courses I would compare it to Bobby Jones. However Mystery Valley is a lot better in my opinion. It is more challenging (a lot more hills) and in better overall condition. Definitely a better value for your money. I

f you are looking for clubhouse amenities look elsewhere... this is a municipal course. If you want to play some moderately challenging golf, on a well maintained course and on a budget then Mystery Valley is it.

Great layout

I love everything about Mystery Valley...I have been playing the course since 1971...I think the layout is super...Great Par 5's...Tough par 3's...and very good par 4's...It seems many holes go uphill from tee and downhill to green and vise a versa...My favorite holes are the par 4 15th...the Par 5 7th...and the par 3 11th...

I don't live in Georgia...But I usually get down there once a year...Wife's family all live in Georgia...

Also love the tee shot over the water on the par 5 10th hole...Extremely scenic...Love the drive into the club house from the street...
