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.

Good Shape this time around

Pleasantly surprised at course condition on 9/3. One of the better times I have played here over the years. Pace of play on a Tuesday afternoon is generally great. A Pair can get through in 3 hours, may have to play through a group or 2. Tee boxes and Green were generally in good shape. Had a nice experience.

Bang for your buck

With the new greens installed last year, the course continues to be a great value. Plenty holes with large landing areas and consistently good greens. Should be on your rotation.

Fun course

The greens were in great shape but on the slow side. Fairways were hard and fast. Several blind tee shots that made you think about club selection. Wide fairways but tall rough that made you pay the price for bad tee shots. A fun course to play and a great value.

Fun and challenging

First time playing the course in almost 30 years. The fairways were fast and firm. The greens were plush and a little slow, but in great condition for the summer heat. Keep it in the fairway or the rough will gobble it up. I’ll be back soon.

Solid course made average by a lackluster staf

I’ve played this course a number of times and the condition continues to improve. Played 8/2 and the greens were in solid shape, albeit a bit long and slow (which I don’t personally mind). Overall, the l’atout is fun and challenging, and the grass really is in excellent shape.

Unfortunately, this course suffers from the modern plight of overbooking, and unfortunately it seems that a majority of the golfers here do not have a solid grasp of course etiquette, specifically when it comes to pace of play. Rounds repeatedly take nearly 5 hours to complete because of having to wait on nearly every hole for the golfers ahead to clear away.

On top of all this, the staff here is unhelpful and best, and downright rude at worst. I’ve had a number of interactions with on and off-duty members of the staff of this course that left me feeling confused and sometimes downright disrespected. I really wish I was treated a bit more respectfully by the people who work here, and I wish they were able to provide me a bit more info before I start the round, other than saying “Look at the sign” and walking away.

With all that being said, I will be back to play again as I quite enjoy the course and have always had a positive impression of the layout and conditions. It’s pretty hard to beat for the price.

Solid and great value

DeKalb resident over 60. $43 for green fee and cartons spectacular. Terrific layout. Some blind shots off the tees but nothing unfair at all. Have to hit a lot of different shots and shot shapes and the redone greens are coming along beautifully.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Great course and terrific staff and pace of play was just fine for the day before July 4

Only negative is the food service inside. Very limited options but I had my own uncrustables so…./problem solved.
