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.

Fun course to play

First time playing this course and really enjoyed it. Course is in great shape. Staff were friendly and helpful. Even though we had to wait through a brief downpour the course held up well. Played with a fun twosome that made it even more enjoyable. Will definitely play this course again.

Good course for the money

This course is pretty good for the money. The tee boxes need a little work on 1 and 8 and a couple others. If it had a bar area, I'd play there more often. Course is in decent shape. It's a fun tract.

Putt Them All Out!

Staff at the Proshop not welcoming unpon my arrival. Starter allowed a group to tee off 40 minutes prior to tee time(how I know? Glad you ask, a local was kindly enough to let me know when I announced by tee time). However, I sat an waited the next 20 minutes to tee off, no one, I mean no one had gone off; strike 2. Yet the starter stared at his tee sheet as if I wasn't there, strike 3. Another local appeared, his group a no show and I asked if, I asked if I could join him(Thanks Mr. Jack). The course itself, a good test of golf, greens are very fast and you best stay below the hole on almost all the holes. Dekalb County has done a great job of continued to work daily to keep this course in good shape. I recommend to overhaul the entire staff at the pro shop and the starter that worked April 07, 2016 AM. A nice course, however, I won't be back and even a great course can't save it from a horrible customer services in any business.

Enjoyable

My intent was always to play here, but never got around to it. Boy I'm glad I finally did...

Enjoyed the views of the course from my car as I traveled a winding road up to the clubhouse.

They have a very nice driving range and putting green.

The course definitely has character. Hilly terrain from tee to green. It has special beauty even tho the grass was still dormant and trees still without leaves late in the winter.

All I can say about the track is, ...strap yourself in early and get ready for a few holes that'll test your shot making ability. You get a handful of doglegs and some greens that are more slopped than you think. Water comes into play on a few holes and one that I found only after hitting my tee shot. After the initial shock and awe, you settle into the round like an old soft shoe.

The fairways were on the hard side even tho we've had an abundance of rain this winter. The greens were punched the week before, so putting was like playing Plinko at times. Despite that, I still give this old course high marks for layout, playability, and gorgeous landscape.

Club Pro/Staff was very friendly.

Looking forward to round #2!

wactor55,

We are not pleased to hear this. We aerated our greens March 7th, and had a special rate during that time. We feel the greens are healing accordingly and in a couple more days they should be back to their high quality. We look forward to more warm weather to help this healing process. We hope you can come back soon and see that Mystery Valley puts out a high quality golf experience.

A Gorgeous Day in March

I have only played this course twice, but for a public course, I thoroughly enjoy how the crew takes care of the greens here. For as much as it rained the week leading up to this past weekend, there were no apparent drainage issues. The clubhouse is old and tired, but the course is well maintained. A beautiful day, and a good course to start the 2016 golf season!

Solid course

We played the day after heavy rain and thunderstorms. MV is one of the best courses for drainage given the terrain and slope by Stone Mountain. The design will not wow you, but it is a solid course which can be testing at times. First timers will need to play more than once to get a feel for the layout. Par 5s are definitely scoring opportunities. Adam in the pro shop is excellent.

The course is less challenging than others in the vicinity. However, its wide fairways and straightforward layout creates the need for consistency. I enjoyed the course and I only lost one ball. It was a good day!
