Crystal Lake Golf Club

Waiting for first hole. Ranger pulls up, screams “You got any liquor in that bag?” No good morning, no gentle reminder or course policy, just screaming and accusing. I wish I had brought a few since no clubhouse until 11:00 am on a Saturday, but I should get screamed at by another adult after paying $85 for what was going to be a 5+ hour round. (I should say the starter that morning was great, and the ranger helping with the blind fairway on 15 were great)

Other issue is a “clubhouse” that is a glorified double wide. With two single bathrooms, one of which was out of order. Probably wouldn’t be an issue except a function with about 50-75 people was being held there. If I need to wait 20 minutes for a hot dog and pit stop at the turn, don’t bug me about pace of play.

Plenty of courses with better facilities and consistently friendly staff at the price point.

It’s a real shame, the 18 holes are well placed and obviously well maintained. But not worth being treated like a child

Greens need some tender care. Fairways also need Care. Fairways fair

Loved this course. Very fair yet challenging, greens and fairways were in great shape. Played 18 in 4 hours, and staff was very friendly. Food was excellent and great value as well. Will definitely be back.

I've been critical previously regarding customer service at this course. On Saturday, I forgot my range finder on 16, and the ranger driving the course was able to go back and get it for me. I really appreciated it. Little acts of kindness go a long way. This marks a significant improvement in staff friendliness at the course.

With the much needed upgrades to the fairways and greens, Crystal is a pleasure to play. A variety of holes, not too much trouble and nice views make it a fun round. Clubhouse is still a trailer, but there is a small, friendly bar and sandwich service. Worth a stop for sure.

First time and was delighted. Nice course with some challenging holes. Will be back
