Better than last fall but.......

At least the greens now have grass on them compared to last summer/fall but some of the tee boxes and fairways were getting pretty dry and I'm afraid you might lose them. Please water the course and maintain it better than last year. I want to keep playing here.

Slow pace

There were 5 groups on the par 5 9th hole. One on the green. One in the fairway waiting on their approach shots. Another in the fairway waiting to hit their 2nd shot. Us on the tee waiting and the group that came off the 8th waiting behind us. I have never seen anything like that in over 40 yrs of playing golf. I found no explanation for it. It was a Monday afternoon. I do love this course to practice on though, but sometimes the pace is just terrible and there is never a ranger keeping things flowing.

Great for Hickory Golf

I play a lot of Hickory golf and this course is perfect design for this style of play. I will bring other hickory players there this season to introduce them to the course.

Fell in love with this course all over again. The work done since I played a few years ago was fantastic and created beautiful views. Reminded me of a links style course. Just wish it was easier for non county resident card holders to get tee times or I'd probably be there much more often.

Hickory golf

This course is an absolutely perfect setup to enjoy a retro round using 100+ year old hickory shaft clubs.

Crystal Springs: Where no good shot goes unpunished

I have a love/hate relationship with this course. When I'm playing well I can't shoot a good score. When I'm not playing well the course destroys me. Very interesting designed holes. visually beautiful. Don't think I have ever seen more undulation in the fairways and rough on any other course in the area. Huge bumps that make it difficult to get a flat lie. The rough is deep and thick. When you finally reach the green then you have to deal with the slopes, tiers, and huge breaks. This course is not for the faint of heart. Should come with a warning sign. When you think you hit a perfect drive in the fairway just wait and see the crazy lie you have to deal with to get to the green. Don't expect to play this course well. But have fun with it.

Head Scratcher

This course does have some interesting and challenging holes. The problem is that the course shares the holes with this new craze "Foot Golf". So there are soccer players and families with young children on the course with golfers and it does not mix well. I found it dangerous and an tragedy waiting to happen especially on holes with blind shots. There are long waits and no real rules or guidelines for golfers and foot players to safely coexist on the same holes. Foot golf needs to stay off the golf course and have it's own separate course.

Disappointed

Heard years ago this course was very nice. Knew someone who used to be a member. Decided to try it but played on patchy burned out fairways and weeds taking over tee boxes. Greens were in good shape but overall I was disappointed in its condition. I see the potential in this course but for whatever reason it has not been well maintained.
