Tight approaches and a snails pace

Course was in good shape. Greens were terrific. Without water stations, and no beverage cart - playing on a super hot day requires lots of prep. The pace of play was horrible. Not sure if that is due to the tight tee times, or just bad golfers. Bring your accuracy, not much room around most greens to miss.

Don’t play if you want to relax and have a few drinks

Staff completely rude and they try to intimidate you. They don’t allow alcohol on the course at all and will confiscate your coolers or bags. They also will check your golf bags for alcohol before you tee off. Course itself is nice and well kept. Not worth playing if your trying to have a fun relaxing game, ranger will follow you around and stay with you to make sure your not drinking.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Drainage

Don't get me wrong, I love this course. I'm not sure how to improve the problems with the fairways and roughs on too many holes being soggy in a rainy year so far, but it is a little frustrating.
I'd recommend this course to any beginner to intermediate golfer based on price and layout, just wait til it's a little drier!

Harassment by staff

Staff has a lack of trust when you buy beer of the cart girl and they ask if we brought them ourselves and we tell them we bought them off the cart girl the ranger says I asked her and she said you didn’t, we said well tell her to come her and tell us that to which he got quiet and says maybe she meant another group. Me and my friends are 48 years old and don’t need to feel like we are lying to some GOLF ranger wanna be beer buying detective, and furthermore to blame a young teenage girl is absolutely pathetic. AVOID THIS CARNIVAL PPL

Hidden Gem in the woods!

The golf pro there was very engaging snd set the tone for a wonderful day! The golf course holes were separate from each other which made each hole unique! Go play you will have fun!

Fun course and in good shape

Crystal Lake has several birdie holes with some requiring the ball to be below the hole. The greens are putting nice right now with smooth surfaces and consistent speed.
