Editor's Note: Course closed for business in Dec 2018.

Crystal River Golf Club (formely known as Seven Rivers Golf & Country Club) has been a local favorite since it first opened in 1968. The course is not only one of Crystal River's most affordable rounds but also one of its most scenic. It's not unusual for golfers to be joined by the golf course's abundant wildlife, which includes everything from turtles and alligators to egrets and eagles. The golf course has a traditional parkland layout that is routed through stands of mature oak and maple trees. A network of ponds and steams weaves throughout the golf course as well. It's a challenging but fair test where water hazards and sand bunkers come into play often. In addition to the course, Crystal River Golf Club also has a practice facility with a driving range and a putting green with a sand bunker.

Courts generally in fair condition

The greens are probably some of the best in the area right now. The fairways have lots of weeds and are very thin and many of the ponds are only half filled because there has been no rain. The tea boxes need a lot of work. Again the best thing about the course was that the greens were Lush and true. The gentleman in the Pro Shop was a little bit contentious. He gave us issues regarding our tee time that was booked through GolfNow because it was not exactly the same time as he had on his tee sheet. It was off by 2 minutes and he was trying to say this was an issue that was a problem with GolfNow and it really had nothing to do with us however.

Good value

Nice course for the twilight rate. Fairways in rough condition, but the greens were good, maybe a bit slow. We enjoyed the course and will play it again.

Great Greens

The fairways and tee boxes are OK, no rain for any of the local courses. But the greens have been worked hard and the efforts have produced. They held approach shots really well and rolled extremely true.

Good greens

The Hurricane really took its toll here, but the course has rebounded well. The efforts to restore the Greens have them it real good shape. Very soft, they hold an approach shot well. Still work to be done on most bunkers and tee boxes, but fairways are improving. Still a challenging course. Can't beat the Hot Deal $$.

Good value for money

GolfNow HotDeal twilight $10 for 18 holes, including drive cart. Great bargain. Greens are reseeded and nice. Layout is very good. Fairways are not watered. Dry of course in dry weather. Staffs are very friendly. Very worth for money. It has drive practice range

Good Local Golf Course. Enjoyable layout.

This facility needs continued, aggressive maintenance to bring the course up to a good level. Manaagement has not provided the resourcesneeded to make this an excellent course. As a result membership has fallen and the course is not sufficiently supported by the local communities. No doubt it has a good layout and beautifully wooded surroundings. I'm sure that stepped up maintenance and increased investment to raise the course conditions will result in people coming back to this golf club. The owners and staff are very friendly, people orientated and make you feel like your patronage is appreciated.

Greens need work.

I am not sure what happened to the greens over the summer. They have been reseeded but are not very good. They are very patchy and not true. Fairways are average at best. There were very few golfers on the course on a perfect Friday afternoon which reflects the conditions. On the plus side the dinner was excellent.
