Crystal Lake Golf Club

I started playing Crystal Lake about 6-7 years ago. At that point it was in need of a lot of work. I have eye witnessed that work being done over the last several years. It had a long way to go, and besides the construction between holes 8 and 9 it has come that long way. The greens are how they should be and are very well kept. As good as any I’ve played on in North America. Fairways are always great and being kept up and the tee boxes are some of the flattest and fairest for a good setup line at your target. In the clubhouse I always found the staff friendly and this year the hotdogs were outstanding. I also like the fact that they have a good fleet of new Club cars. I have been very impressed with the amount of high quality improvements. It would be nice to see at least some sort of area where are you could go and hit a few balls. Even if it was into a net. Besides that I really enjoy playing at Crystal Lake. I’m excited to see just how good it will be in a few years from now when all the construction is done ! Major Kudos to greens keeper there if it’s the same guy that has been around the last few years.

I really enjoy playing Crystal Lake. The course is in great shape, the greens are well maintained and fast, and the course is very walkable. Couldn't ask for a better experience. The clubhouse isn't much to look at and it usually full of loud and drunk patrons but if you're there for Golf this is one of the best courses in the surrounding area.

Going to play it again next weekend.

Very nice well kept course.

Hot Dogs were great too

Well maintained course, very slow pace of play. The greens were impossible. It's conflicting for me to be writing this review because the course is very well maintained and the greens are beautiful, but they are incredibly quick and the slopes on them will take a ball well off the green even if barely moving. Sometimes even the uphill puts will stop short of the hole and roll back, past you, and off the green.

The course is always in great condition, including the greens. The layout can be challenging for all levels, but still fun for a high handicapper. The staff are player friendly and fun to interact with. And I’d highly recommend a round.

Pretty course nestled in a planned unit development. New houses being constructed has caused some holes to be re-designed. If you are using a golf app don't get confused by hole 8. Golf Pad still shows it as a par 5 even though it was changed to a short par 4 last year. Well-maintained, friendly staff, and excellent value.

Generous fairways. Love the occasional dog legs for variety of play. Greens run true and fast. Downhill putts require exceptional care with regard to pace.

I enjoyed my round. Walked 18 holes in less than 4 hours. Course is in great shape.
