Crystal Lake Golf is a beautiful and fun course that offers a good mix of challenging and easier holes. The course layout features interesting approach shots and well-maintained greens and fairways that are in excellent condition. Despite some slow play on the front nine, the back nine tends to be more open and enjoyable. The course has a few design quirks, such as a pond near the 10th fairway and an unplayable tee on 17, but these do not detract from the overall experience. The staff, including the owner, are friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure visitors have a great time. One memorable story highlights staff generosity, as a team member provided free clubs and range time during a difficult period. The course is suitable for golfers of all skill levels, with challenging greens and some tough holes. Overall, Crystal Lake Golf offers a fun, beautiful, and well-maintained environment with friendly service, making it a worthwhile choice for a satisfying round of golf.
