Spring is coming

The fairways were kind of barren and hard as a rock in places. If you hit a low shot, it would run and run and run, but the high shots would checkup pretty quick. Tees and greens were pretty good - fast as lightening tho. Nice people running the course.

A hot midday round

The greens were very good, fairways a tad rough here and there, but we played a 4 hour round and had a ball.

Course layout is superb

Fairways were a little rough. Greens were fast and well mowed. Nowhere to buy a drink afterwards, but there was a cart girl.

What was missing?

The course itself was super, but they have removed so many trees on the front nine that the course was almost unrecognizable for those of us who have played there for years. The only drawback of the course was the concrete in the sidewalks and parking area. They really need to resurface those sidewalks before they destroy all their carts!

The Preserves

Greens were in excellent shape. Fairways were good, sun was HOT! We started at 1 PM and finished somewhere after 3 - we only played 9 holes, but even our beginner who played with us had a great time. Staff were great - in the pro shop and in Olivers! Overall a good time and will be fun for you if you go!

Preserves are back

Fairways were good, greens were like lightning. It was a cold, windy day, but always fun anyway. They have done an excellent job in making the course presentable again.

Pleasantly suprised

The fairways and greens were perfect! We had a ball - the only problem was we were a two some following a foursome of older gentlemen. We skipped 4 holes and then made them up at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. We played in the later afternoon (2:30 tee time) and finished in under 3 1/2 hours even though we followed the slower golfers for 4 holes. The elevation changes and water locations made for a very interesting round. Included is a picture from the 17th fairway. I hope you can see the elevation.

Course is in the best shape ever

Played Sunday afternoon - only 9 holes as we had other things to do. Fariways were very plush, greens were cut nicely - made for a perfect afternoon. The windy day created its own challenges that added to the fun. Counter worker was very nice.

Decent course

Reminds me of a caddyshack type course. Water and layout gives the difficulties, not like some of the new 'target' courses. Got so much rain, that the golf was impacted, but still enjoyed it.

We are so glad to hear you had a great experience with us at Crystal River Golf Club. When you combined the water and layout the course becomes an interesting test of golf skills! We hope to see you and your friends out on the green for another round.

Only played the front nine

Too tired and too hot to go on. Course was so-so. Needed water, but after the rains it should green up pretty well. Always been difficult putting with the crowned greens.

Ye Ole Golden Hills

The course was in fantastic shape - just as difficult as ever, but he greens were not quite as fast as they have been in the past. At the golfnow price, you just cannot beat it. Played into the sunset after teeing off at 4:30 and had to skip 3 holes because of darkness, but we got our money's worth.
