11th Hole at Crystal Falls Golf Course, Leander TX Photo submitted by wshowers on 12/02/2012
Chrystal Falls Golf Course 3/18/24
To our groups surprise Chrystal falls was aerating the fairways so it was cart path only on all 18 holes. Also, the course no longer has any food or beverages in the clubhouse. This information would have been good to know in advance because two of us had nothing to eat or drink before arrival. We soon realized $42.00 for the round was not such a great weekday deal after all. We hope the City will continue to improve the conditions since the course layout is superb.
Great layout but tough
This course is an amazing, layout lots of elevation and beautiful, has no bunkers on the whole course, but the clubhouse needs to get their restaurant in order, because they did not even serve any alcohol whatsoever, and the staff were not the happiest to be around….
Good shape for just getting out of winter
Placement course- tough for players like me that are happy just to hit the green or fairways . Hardly any flat lies- even in fairway.
Wonderful
I’ve played every course within 30 miles of Austin under $100, and this is absolutely among the best. If you’re the kind of person who golfs just about every weekend, you absolutely need to throw this course into your rotation. Healthy greens, healthy fairways, fun changes in elevation— it’s got it all…. except bunkers. Which is nice. Great driving range too. For your money, it feels like an absolute steal.
Great again
The course is getting a little green and it played very well once again. The only draw back is their restaurant is being redone and is closed.
Seems like a strange time just before their busy season, doesn't seem to be smart.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience the closure of our restaurant may have caused. Thank you for playing our course and we hope to welcome you back soon.
Good experience.. but could be better.
Pretty packed weekend afternoon tee time, but was able to finish in four hours- this is fantastic.
Some shortcomings...
We had some rain in the past couple of weeks and warm weather. I actually expected some green ups on the fairways, greens and tee boxes. The overseeded areas were green, but bermuda was still fairly dormant.
The issue was the hardness of the ground. Dormant grass + VERY hard muddy soil meant every shot you'll end up having a lot of mud left on your clubs, and balls bouncing/rolling to the areas where you don't think it would end up.
The course is relatively short (6654 yds from the tips) with A LOT of elevation changes. The elevation can be challenging and fun, but gets old very quick- two par threes that playing about 25-30 yrs shorter due to elevation change is just too much.
I don't think there is a single bunker on the course, but the areas where the other courses would have bunker- you have muddy hard pan waiting for your ball.
I think the course tries to make up for easy set up by giving a lot of slopes on the green. I have an app that shows the green slopes- it says most of the greens have min of 2-3 degrees, average of 5-7 degrees, some having over 9 degrees. To compensate for these extreme sloping areas, they keep it very slow. Now, the greens are bumpy, and people don't fix the pitch marks..
I love good challenging greens but if the hole can only be cut in the area of 4 degrees of slope... again, this is too much.
I like the elevation change, love the staff and the fast pace of play. But the hard-pan like fairways and putt-putt like greens aren't my cup of tea.
Great design and quality golf course
Course has considerable character. Solid Hill Country course that is efficiently operated. Course is in good condition especially considering time of year. Greenskeeper could use the public’s assistance in fixing their divots! Challenging holes abound, and layout within plenty of elevation changes provides uniqueness throughout. Had a great time!
Good again
Staff friendly as usual greens in good shape it's in dormant state so the fairways are brown and lies are extremely tight.. It was fun once again.
We are glad to hear that you had another fun experience at our golf course. Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your support!
Nice Staff, Poor Course
Colby was very welcoming and the pace of play was 4 hours so thumbs up there. The course itself, after playing twice in 7 days, is just too....unlevel. Course elevation changes, sloping fairways and undulated greens make for postive challenges but can be overdone.... and that is the case here. When you add in hard/no grass fairways and mud/wet conditions suprisingly in a lot of other areas on the course it just makes for a lower overall experience level.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your review and hope to see you again soon.
Carts have to be in at 6:15
We were unaware that our round would be cut short! We teed off at 2:20 and were paired with some inexperienced golfers. We maintained a reasonable place of play as we were occasionally waiting for the foursome ahead of us. We played through a rain shower and didn’t slow down for high winds. Our pairing even sat out 3-4 holes allowing my daughter and I to play some holes in 5-7 minutes. The Marshalls were nice, while being informative about pacing. All of that being said, we were abruptly ushered off of the course after 17. We were informed that all carts had to be returned no later than 6:15 which was sent as a RED ALERT on the cart GPS which we didn’t use bc we use GolfLogix app. The young man who drove out to clear at least 5 groups off of the course was abrupt and unapologetic. My simple point is this… if your pace of play isn’t enforced, you owe it to players teeing off after 1pm that they must head in at a specified time. If I had known we were paired up and our carts were due at 6;15, NO EXCEPTIONS, I could have made the decision to play 9 OR play until 6:15. I was given non of this info at check-in, GOS was turned off on my cart when I picked it up, and the staff was so rude at the end off the day. Just had us leaving with such a negative vibe.
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your round. We understand that it can be frustrating to be abruptly ushered off the course without prior knowledge of the time limit for returning carts. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for improving our communication with players in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Great course!
Super great course! Great scenery! Challenging course!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and found the course challenging.
Weather issues caused damage
Extreme cold and heavy rain has taken its toll on Crystal Falls. The
A you to is great and the course will recover. But right now its tough
Wow!
Really nice layout. This is a challenging course. with great elevation changes. If you are wanting to score low then this is not your course… but if you want a great golf experience with beautiful views this is the spot. We walked… it was quite the hike. I would definitely recommend getting a cart!
stonesg, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Crystal Falls Golf Course.
Carts
Their carts were down due to battery issues. Challenging course. Greens in great shape. Lil wet . But Texas needs the rain. Fairways pretty decent for winter golf.
