The course itself is beautiful and pretty well-maintained with lots of wildlife: deer, turkeys, hawks, etc. However, the course is poorly managed. We reserved a tee time online but when we arrived were told that the GM had moved it to a later tee time. I’ve never had that happen and thought it was really strange and unprofessional. Last minute they then bumped it back up to the original time. The range balls haven’t been upgraded in years. They’re all colors, many are cracked and misshapen and the mat I was on was lumpy, worn down and dirty (there were some newer mats but definitely still some old relics). Also, the pace of play was abysmal and no marshall ever came around to encourage pace of play. Our round was 5+ hours with waiting on every tee box.

3 things you need to pay attention to when playing at Crystal Spring, first, big big chunk of trees everywhere, you need to make sure you aim correctly, otherwise they send your ball back for few yards, hah. 2nd, the greens here are brutal, fast and hard to read, need to spend more time reading the lines, otherwise you'll easily 3 putts. 3rd, the fairways here are long, hit it hard. Hole 6 and 10 are similar, both surely fun and challenging ones, big down slope and dog leg left, really need to drive your first shot well to lay up for your second. Hole 12 is another fun one, your 2nd shot is facing a 40ft uphill, plus Hole 15 is a 270 yards short par4, try getting at least a birdie here 😊 I did enjoy the mountain view here buy I don't know if I will pay 90 bucks "hot deal" to play here again while you only need to pay 70 at the Wente vineyard course.

Our group golfed there Nov 2, 2025, and must say it was very good. Found all the deer and turkeys, very cool. The course was long and nicely set up. We rented carts and clubs. The carts were fantastic and newer. The rental clubs were ok, some mismatched sets, which was annoying, but overall good. The pro shop is filled with nice gear with all the latest and greatest. All the staff were up beat and helpful. We will be back! Thank you.

Beautiful mature course, well maintained. Lots of wildlife around. Clubhouse is dated and the highway is a bit annoying on some holes but definitely well worth your time. It is walkable but I would recommend a cart. There are some steep hills.

This was only my second time playing this course and it's as challenging as I remember it being last time. I like a challenge but the fairways are probably to narrow for my skill set. 😐 The course is in good shape but the weather is a bit cold. There are some amazing views and being in the woods is always a plus. I recommend you give this place a shot.
