Mystic Oak Golf Course in Waterloo has a diverse layout that seems to play a little differently each time you're on it. The layout features long, winding fairways and gently sloping greens, which are framed by a slew of strategically placed bunkers. There are also many water hazards that come into play throughout the golf course. The gently rolling terrain has subtle ups and downs that provide tricky uneven lies. The back nine is uniquely divided into three par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s each. The golf course will test your short-game skills but the lengthy par 5s offer driving opportunities for long hitters as well. Mystic Oak Golf Course is player friendly enough for a wide range of skill levels but you may be surprised to find yourself using all the clubs in your bag.

Really, really Slow

The course had some sort of scramble in the A.M. I understand the slow play for scrambles, but don't offer tee times on Golf Now during the scramble. Front nine took me 2 1/2 hours (i was a single), then noticed a fivesome teeing off on 10. I quit after 9, could not handle a 5 to 6 hour round.

Slow Motion on a Friday!

Could have been ideal had the pace of play been acceptable. Absolutely crazy that we were at the 3 hour point in our round with only 11 holes complete on a Friday late morning/early afternoon! We ended up leaving after seeing a minimum of 2 groups on every tee, 13 had at least 4! What is the point of PAYING a marshall to drive around if he is not going to monitor pace of play and make SINGLES join with 2 or 3 somes? This would never fly in a real golfing area like FL/SC/AZ. After returning our carts, we could see the marshalls cart still parked at the clubhouse, guess Happy Hour started early!

Challenging rolling course

The course layout is a great, challenging length and some short par 3's.

We had to play the front 9, 2x because of league.

Searching for a home course

The course was in decent condition. Front greens were nice back was still coming in.farways were ok. Challenging course. I just didn't feel comfortable playing at some points where people behind my group seemed to be pushing play.This was my first time playing the course and directions to next tees were not that clear. Overall good outing.

Not happy with the layout. Slow play.

Elevated greens. Could be, being a senior, just wasn't good enough.
