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.

Reliably Good

It had just stopped after 2 straight days of rain, but it dried off as I played. For a wet winter day, the course played great. It's an interesting wooded layout, with a good amount of variety of short and long, uphill and downhill. The bunkers are gone--they were lakes. But the greens roll nicely. A solid public course in DeKalb County.

Mow the GD greens...

Course is in typical shape for this time of year. I don't know if they are really extremely careful with the greens after the debacle they had last year, but jc, mow the greens. They are THE slowest things I've ever seen. It's like putting on shag carpet.

SLOOOWWWW!

It's such a shame they can't control pace of play here. The course is nice. Mediocre range and facility, but not bad at all. Everyone is friendly enough and the course is really great. I have been here 5 times over 3 years and literally every single time we either go off WAY later than our time or it's so backed up we had several groups stacked on every tee box. I don't know if they are overselling or what but it's abysmal. All it would take is a competent starter and a couple of marshalls. This is BY FAR the sowest course I have ever been to. I won't be back to see if they "fixed it" ever again.

Come on man....

The Hurricane winds that blew this shed from the neighborhood onto the course and into the woods was about 6 months ago. Complete lack of care by golf course, come on guys be better. I really don't understand the complete lack of empathy about this, it looks like...... It is really not what you want to see when you're teeing off on 14. CLEAN IT UP!

Great Course Conditions

Mystery Valley worked hard to bring the course to where it is today. If you play here, repair your ball marks and divots. The greens are in very very good condition, the bunkers are in the best shape they've been in the past 10 years. Great clubhouse staff, full bar and grill. Mystery Valley makes for a great round of golf

Greens in great shape

The course is in really good condition.

Pace of play was a bit slow as 4:20 round.

Grill was open. No cart service.

Greens were rolling fairly true and faster than normal.

Will be going back this Fall.

Greens are back

I hadn’t played Mystery since last winter, when the greens were crusty and ruined, but was fairly pleased with the new greens. Hopefully they can take care of them this go round, I’ve always liked the layout aside from a few quirky holes

Really slow play today

Course in good shape but pace of play needs monitoring. A marshall is @ the #1 tee box which helps with the start but once on the course we didn’t see a marshal which caused us to wait most of the day. Renovated greens are filled In nicely
