USED to be a gem..

Played mystic for the first time in 2 years yesterday. This course used to be a hidden gem with beautiful fairways and great playing conditions but boy has things changed.. All but a couple fairways are dried out and destroyed by lawn equipment, bunkers were full of rocks, dead grass everywhere and very beat up greens possibly due to golfers lack of fixing divots... Extremely disappointed and will not be playing again.. What a shame! Sad part was the regular rate is $48- robbery!

Worst experience

By far one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a golf course. 4some playing and had a ranger come to us saying to pick up pace of play when we waited 5-10 minutes between each hole due to how busy it was. He then proceeded to tell us that if we get to double bogey we were to stop playing and move on the the next hole. We played music on our cell phone and were told to turn it off. So apparently you're only allowed to be a scratch golfer to play this course. Personally will never go back and sorry to anyone that does from here on out.

tough and rough

I've played this course in the past, and must say I was surprised at how bad of shape the course was in. Fairways were brown and burnt, and the greens were in terrible shape. This has a layout of being a beautiful 27 hole course, but they really have their work cut out to bring it back up to the beautiful course I remember playing last year.

The course was in poor condition

The meadows 9 were in at best poor condition. The fairways were burnt out and brown and the greens were worse.
The lakes 9 were better than the meadows but not much.

They need to invest money into the whole course.

The course has good bones but is in miserable condition.

What to play first

Play meadows first then go to lakes or woods. Lakes too difficult coming out of the car.

Make sure you have some cash!!!

Course is located in Camp Dearborn. There is a $2 charge to get into the Park. Overall course is in good condition but some of the green's on the Lakes 9 have some rough patches. Lakes side has a current problem with Geese. Droppings everywhere including a couple greens covered in Droppings. Still a great round for the price on golfnow. Would have been aggravated with the condition of the Lakes if I had paid full price!!

list of local favorites

I've played "lakes", 'woods" and "meadows". Each is different and challenging in a unique way from the other 2. Whichever combination of 18 makes for a nice round. There are a few greens on the lakes that are under needed repair but nothing to complain about

The back nine lakes is very beautiful and challenging. The Meadow (front nine) is nothing special.

play the Lakes

This goes from a 4 star to 3 star course if you don't play the Lakes nine. The other two are OK, but the Lakes is the one that really stands out, with water on almost every hole and in place on multiple shots on many of them.

Hit Your Spots

"The Lakes" is a shot makers course. Very tight fairways with a lot of water often to the right so any fad often results in a lost ball.

Very beautiful course, even tougher I. The wind.

Very scenic course

We enjoyed playing this course. The overall conditions were excellent. Water hazards on almost every hole made for a challenge. The rough was short enough to find stay balls not hit into the water. My wife and I will recommend this course to friends.

The course was great but slow play

The pace of play was terrible. The starter said the average time for a round of golf was over 4 1/2 hrs. The starter rushed us off the tee and after that the round went downhill from there. We got placed behind a group of golfers that played from the blue tees but should have been playing form the white tees. And we got held up at every hole on both nines that we played.

Poor customer service - no rangers in sight

The day started on a bad note when one of my playing partners tried to use a coupon for the course. The coupon was not expired, and had no terms or conditions on it. It wasn't a large dollar amount, but the attendant said because of new course management, only new coupons would be honored. Didn't offer to give any sort of concession. When someone who looked like they might be a manager overheard the conversation, the response was rude and unwavering. Despite the terrible customer service, we started our round and waited on every hole. We didn't see one ranger on the course monitoring pace of play, let alone asking slower golfers to keep pace with the group in front of them. Just a very poor job by the course manager of keeping an appropriate pace of play.

The course was in pretty good condition, especially given the harsh winter we had this year.

Overall, I was disappointed in the customer service and pace of play, which is why I won't be back, and won't be recommending this course to my friends. I had played here 5 or 6 times before and have generally had positive experiences. Unfortunately this bad one is enough to make me change my mind.

Not really worthwhile

Used to be a decent course many years ago but not the case these days. Good deals can be had on GN but be prepared to shoddy tee boxes and weeds all over the place. Greens roll ok but you're better off elsewhere.
