Getting it back in great shape

Crystal Falls is a very challenging golf course and that's a big part of of the pleasure of playing it. The topography and views are great and what makes the course so much fun. Like most of our courses in the Austin area the two hard winters of '21 & '22 were very challenging for all the greenskeepers. Then the incredibly hot summer along with the drought this year took its toll on almost every course down here. The good news it looks like they have fully recovered the grass growth. The greens are full and smooth. The tee boxes and fairways lush and green. The fairways weren't mowed yesterday and it's clear this was done on purpose because of recent rains and to allow them a chance to grow back in again, I had NO problem with that at all. Because of the severe slopes on quite a few of the fairways, when the grass is sparse it makes many of them very hard for your ball to stay where you hit it and a good drive can become a bad one quickly.. Kudos to the entire staff for getting this course back into very good condition!

Enjoyable round at interesting course

Crystal Falls is very tight layout with small greens. The course is in very good condition, considering the heat of the past summer. Some blind shots and unique layouts make for a more challenging round. All round good experience

Fun Times

Course in very good shape especially for the Tx heat and drought conditions. Challenging terrain with somewhat quick greens. Tee boxes in fair shape with only one under repair.
Staff were great!! Way above average food and with full bar!
Will definitely be returning! Fun time!!

Conditions were great

Played here a lot over the years and it can be hit or miss. Course was in excellent condition after the recent rain. Greens were holding shots and fairways were lush.

Keep it up Crystal Falls!

Terrible experience for a normally outstanding course

Encountered the most atrocious pace of play I’ve ever experienced. Teed off at 10:50 and was on pace to maybe finish in 6 hours! Never once saw a marshal check on pace of play or speak with the groups in front. We ended up only playing 14 holes. The most disappointing part of this experience was the Volunteer marshal named Carol was on the course playing and contributing to the slow pace of play after previously reprimanding other groups for a slow pace of play.

Stunning views

This is a beautiful course with stunning views. I can hardly believe that this is a municipal course. Its nestled up in the hill country so there are wonderful elevation changes that lead to challenging shots that play 2-3 clubs different than the yardage reads and stunning views throughout. Make sure you take a look backwards from the greens as sometimes you get an entirely new beautiful view. Also the GPS carts are great! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
