Mystic Oak Golf Course in Waterloo has a diverse layout that seems to play a little differently each time you're on it. The layout features long, winding fairways and gently sloping greens, which are framed by a slew of strategically placed bunkers. There are also many water hazards that come into play throughout the golf course. The gently rolling terrain has subtle ups and downs that provide tricky uneven lies. The back nine is uniquely divided into three par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s each. The golf course will test your short-game skills but the lengthy par 5s offer driving opportunities for long hitters as well. Mystic Oak Golf Course is player friendly enough for a wide range of skill levels but you may be surprised to find yourself using all the clubs in your bag.

It Is What It Is

Mystic Oak is a cute (not long) rural course that is in fine condition. It has 3-4 quirky holes that can drive you mad. But, it's a course where a lot of birdies can be made. The fairways are pretty generous and the greens are pretty flat. If you're looking for a championship layout in pristine conditions, look a few miles away. If you're looking for a casual round with that buddy who doesn't play very often, this is your place.

Good golf course but

Overall, the courses played well. If the course had a driving range, I would rate it 4 stars.

Very Nice Course

Fairways are in pretty good shape considering the time of year. Greens are in very good condition. Some tee boxes are a little tire. Course has some really challenging holes and some easy ones so there is something for every player. Overall this is a great place and lots of fun to play. I recommend it as a great value too.

Great for the price

Marshall drove by several times and did nothing to help unclog the backup. Had to skip last few holes due to very very slow play. Pro shop lady was delightful

Mystic Oaks

The clubhouse is recovering from a fire , previously the food was good, and a comfortable atmosphere. The clubhouse is almost finished. The course has a variety of holes from simple to a couple that are almost unfair. Controlling your tee shot is imperative. If you can do that on the tough holes then you can score. The cost is fair for what you get.
