Crystal Springs Golf Course

The course if in great shape. There fairways and greens are in fantastic shape. There is also a first cut of ruff.

On arrival found the greens were just aerated and the course was playing cart path only. Excessive sand was found on the greens while all the plugs were placed around the green. Poor drainage and lengthy second cuts made finding the ball very difficult. Had the status been posted aeration/cart path only I would have chosen some where else!

Driving range under repair , greens just aerated, and tee boxes pretty beat up. This is usually a hidden gem of a course, but under some significant grounds maintenance. Should be good in a few weeks , if they can get golfers to respect divots and other use issues.

The course is in miserable shape. Grass in the fairways is so long that I couldn't find balls in the middle of them.

There were multiple temporary greens.

Lots of the cart paths had broken concrete.

Management has to do a much better job of caring for this course!

The weather was good, some sun. The course was a swamp. Unable to sand without mud and water around your shoes. Luckey I did not fall on every swing. The management should not allow players on a course that is unplayable. I left after 2 holes. A unplayable course results in unhappy golfers. The guy in the parking lot next to me said he never lost so many balls. Had not seen this course this bad.
The Management SHOULD NOT be sending people out in these conditions. They just collect the fees.

Can’t believe you charge $115 knowing the course is soaking wet greens are bumpy and water logged. Pace of play was a joke. Group in front of us were 2 1/2 holes behind called pro shop and was told there is nothing that can be done to that group. Course was so wet we lost balls in middle of fairway and the rough can’t be cut so good luck finding it in there. I really like this course but I know now to only play from May-November. Must needed drainage upgrade

I’ve been playing this track off and on since 1983 and know exactly what it’s worth on its own merit and compared to other regional offerings. I’m also a firm believer in free enterprise, and if the market will pay their rates then god bless, have at it. That said, a $115 for Crystal Springs? That’s just plain laughable. It’s a mediocre, sometimes boring (16-18) other times awkward play. And the conditions are never great. The views and wildlife are gorgeous. Even post-COVID it’s a $75 course max.

I played this course on a Friday and it had rained the previous Wed. I expected it to be wet but the course was almost unplayable with a few greens so water soaked that there was no reason to putt, water filled bunkers, and some fairways that had large areas of just mud. The course should've been closed or at best, more discounted than what I paid to play. The pace of play of good but only because there weren't that many golfers playing. Just to be fair, I played this course this past summer and found it to be in better shape than I remembered. This course is close to my house but I don't play it because of two reasons, pace of play and value for money. However, I can play a few other courses a bit further from where I live for the same price or lower and have better conditions and not play a 5 hour round. Won't play this course again this winter and it won't be my first choice when the weather gets better either.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. Golf now wont post my real review, place is a dump and swampland. 6 hour pace and they dont care about it. Joke of a course, do NOT play here unless they pay you to do so

Grass was overgrown, course was wet and muddy, lots of plugged balls, greens were aerated a day early. Equipment, shoes and pant legs were wet and muddy It was just MISERABLE and gross.

Exact opposite of my past experiences at this course, which is why it’s so disappointing.

Look, I get that it has been rainy. I get that you need to do “cart path only.” I get that it might take a little longer to play. But 5.5 hours in conditions that required 2 temporary greens and one par 4 reduced to a par 3? No range balls because “we ran out?” For $115.00?!?! This is epitome of price gouging, especially since it wasn’t called out when I made the reservation. Cart guy was super friendly but pro shop has an arrogance that is certainly not justified. Do not play this course unless you have 6 hours to waste. Shame on you Crystal Springs. I won’t be back…

Challenging course with 5 hilly holes. Greens are in great condition. Great panoramic views of Crystal Springs Reservoir on 6. Expect a 5 hour+ round on weekends.

You know you’re living in a completely unhinged world when a course like this charging $109. Unbelievable.

We enjoyed course very much! We will come back.

The club house was impressive last time when we visited. Now it become crowded and uncomfortable small. Then I realize it might be moved from the larger building at right side to the a smaller one at left. The building at right is divided into rooms and offices, the restaurant behind is no longer there. It is a terrible change.

Greens were true and consistent. No bad lies on the fairway. Heavily watered... some muck in places.
