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.

Played on a Friday, which is usually slow play so we knew what to expect.

Not a course we play regularly. T boxes were VERY dry. Hole #16 presents the biggest challenge.

Insanely rude staff

I’ve played at this course before and the course is beautiful. I brought my friend out who never played so he could enjoy this course. Tee time was 1:40pm and we arrived at 1:20pm. Checked in and they said there was a scramble going on and we might have to wait and start on the back nine due to another event at 3 that closed the back nine. While warming up at the putting green, one of the workers drove by and said there’s more people delayed with the scramble and would have to wait till all of them had passed. Never giving us a time on when we could play and with another event at 3. We decided to leave and wanted our money back and they said it couldn’t be done and would have to contact GolfNow. It’s absolutely ridiculously they offer tee times if there’s no room for people to play. The only thing we got was “we don’t know how long events last”. Then don’t allow scheduling. Not a single apology was given and made it like we were inconveniencing them for showing up at our paid tee time. I called GolfNow and got refunded and the the representative said “the owner has band you from playing here”. This just goes to show how they treat you as a customer. You’re not the only good golf course out here and I know the owner doesn’t care about your time or money. Such a shame for a beautiful course.

Worse Staff Around

I golf 2-3 times a week and I try to avoid mystic oaks. I love an afternoon out with the boys enjoying the links, a few cold ones, and hitting a couple good shots that keep me coming back. The Mystic Oaks staff, specifically the pro shop worker made my experience miserable and I’ll be booking anywhere else from here on out. It’s like my friends and I are an inconvenience to the pro shop. This is embarrassing customer service and I would fire my staff if they treated our clients like this. Not to mention a little smile would go a long way. I’m glad I won’t have to play there again and I’ll be staying in if Mystic is the only course open.
