Crystal Lake Golf Club

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

Greens where in Great shape.Some of the truest Greens around. 9 Holes where in decent shape and where interesting.The other 9 where in varying conditions of need upkeep and work. If you want to beat it around this is a course for you. Course is definitely scoreable.

Staff was rude. One person at the starters area spoke to us about not taking beers on the course but that same person ignored the playing partner we where given cracked a beer right in ground of them. Then at the turn went to his car to get more. This was ignored because he was a regular I guess. Pace of play was slow and all the rangers did was keep asking our group was being held up by the group in ground of us which we where. They did nothing about this it took over 5 and a half hour. The guy in the pro shop was nice. The course is under a lot of construction as well which is good cause some spots are in bad shape.

Greens were in great shape and were pretty quick.

Front 9 was a bit slow but the back nine opened up and finished round in 4 hours 15 minutes. Make sure you have water in your bag as there is none on the course. It was a great value at the price. Got a hot deal on GolfNow fir 18 & cart for $44 . Will definitely play again

Course was in good shape. Greens were terrific. Without water stations, and no beverage cart - playing on a super hot day requires lots of prep. The pace of play was horrible. Not sure if that is due to the tight tee times, or just bad golfers. Bring your accuracy, not much room around most greens to miss.

Staff completely rude and they try to intimidate you. They don’t allow alcohol on the course at all and will confiscate your coolers or bags. They also will check your golf bags for alcohol before you tee off. Course itself is nice and well kept. Not worth playing if your trying to have a fun relaxing game, ranger will follow you around and stay with you to make sure your not drinking.

Challenging course in great condition, but:

Needs a driving range or even a net to hit practice balls.

Needs signage indicating hole layouts, there are lots of holes with trouble in the middle of fairways that you can't see.

Needs signage to direct players to where the next hole is. We were confused a couple of times,but Totally lost between the 8th and 9th holes.

Greens and fairways were in good condition. Will play here again

Don't get me wrong, I love this course. I'm not sure how to improve the problems with the fairways and roughs on too many holes being soggy in a rainy year so far, but it is a little frustrating.

I'd recommend this course to any beginner to intermediate golfer based on price and layout, just wait til it's a little drier!

Staff has a lack of trust when you buy beer of the cart girl and they ask if we brought them ourselves and we tell them we bought them off the cart girl the ranger says I asked her and she said you didn’t, we said well tell her to come her and tell us that to which he got quiet and says maybe she meant another group. Me and my friends are 48 years old and don’t need to feel like we are lying to some GOLF ranger wanna be beer buying detective, and furthermore to blame a young teenage girl is absolutely pathetic. AVOID THIS CARNIVAL PPL
