Crystal Lake Golf Club

Very well maintained course with a nice layout. Course was not crowded and pace of play moved along. Will play again if opportunity arises

Like most local courses the weather has been perfect for greenskeepers and Crystal Lake is no exception. Compared to two or three years ago the course is playable now, with very good greens. Several hidden carries for a challenging round.

The main problem with this course is that other then the clubhouse there is no drinking water, and no washrooms. This is a huge issue on a hot day.

This is another golf course connected to a housing development. Recently the course was sold to a housing developer and a back nine was added to the original and older front. When he builds and sells all the new houses, they are very nice, I hope he puts some of the money into the golf course. This course could become a local favorite with some work and TLC. The greens are beautiful and plenty fast enough, you have to have good greens. The fairways, first and second cuts of rough and the bunkers need the work to make this course a very nice one. This course has great potential and I will go play it again soon. The layout is fine with enough well placed hazards to make it interesting. It's a fine, fun, enjoyable place to play. It does not have a fancy clubhouse, YET. I would assume they will have one someday. When you finish the 12th hole you need to follow the cart path between two houses, cross the actual street to the left and go between two houses on the other side to get to the 13th tee.

This was the first time we played at this course. The layout was not bad but the fairways need lots of work. Not good when your ball lands on the fairway behind a large weed or patch of dirt. The pace of play was the worst I have ever experieced. Our tee time was in the early afternoon and it took 2 of us 5 hours to play 18 holes with a cart. There was no ranger and a threesome in front of us who knew nothing at all about golf etiquette. They spent more time looking for their ball than they should . We should have been allowed to play through. The group behind us joined us as well as the group behind them. There were 6 of us playing the last 5 holes. How much efforrt does it take to send out a ranger to make sure there is a 4 hour pace of play? Will not be returning.

It is really frustrating when you see where your ball drops and then the course being in such bad shape that you can't find them. The fairways are like roughs and the roughs are basically a wild forest. I played this course for $40 but in the end it probably cost me an additional $20 for all the balls I lost.

I will say the course layout is interesting and the area is quite pretty. Their is minimal service available but the people are nice and while i did not eat their before or after the round the food looked legit.

I have played better courses for less, save your money and your patience and skip this course.

I've played this course a number of times so far this year and what draws our group back is the reasonable cost and the consistancy of the greens. Unfortunately the rest of the course needs work. Hopefully when things dry out the course management will put some work in making the fairways as good as the greens. Regardless of the fairway conditions we will continue to play this course.

It's not a terribly challenging course, but it's well maintained. The greens and fairways were impeccable. For the cost of 18 holes here, you'd be playing at a much lesser course elsewhere. I'd definitely recommend it for any intermediate golfer. It's right off 495 as well so it's easy to get to. I drove down from Hampton NH and would definitely do it again.

Course staff very friendly, The rough is very difficult to hit out of not sure if it was because of recent rain but it was very high making it almost impossible sometimes to even find your ball on shots that just missed the fairway.

Walked the back 9 holes. Conditions were not ideal because of recent rain, but the course was in surprisingly good shape. Staff was very accommodating. My take: is that Crystal Lake is reasonably challenging, nice course at a reasonable price.

Being from Florida I see much better courses for much less money. Was wet in a lot of places and hilly. A lot of the fairways were not groomed like real fairways. The grass was just a little lower than the rough and holes for your ball to sit in.

The course set up is horrendous. They start you off with an easy par 4 that is straight and just over 300 yards. However the second hole is a difficult 200+ yard par 3 and immediately brings the pace of play to a standstill. There is often 3 groups waiting on this hole. They do have tee times but they do not matter as you are just sent out as soon as you get there and if you show up without a tee time you are allowed to go out. There also is no ranger to manage the pace of play and speed up slow groups. The last time we went there it took 3hrs to play 7 holes and we eventually just walked off because of how slow the groups ahead of us were playing as we often were 3 groups on each hole.

Greens were in very good condition, the tees could use a little work. The fairways were poor. If you play here, you should allow all players to roll it over in the fairway. There was a lot of tree damage, but they are in the process of cleaning it up. Golfnow app GPS link takes you to the wrong location. Type in the address directly to find the course.
