Mystery Valley Golf Club

About
Mystery Valley Golf Club encompasses 230 acres of gently rolling land that ranges from dense forests of towering Georgia pines to grassy meadows covered in acres of colorful wildflowers. Mystery Valley is known for both the beautiful scenery on the course itself and the stunning views from the elevated tees. There are two lakes and a pond that dot the course, coming into play on three holes. At just over 6,700 yards, the layout features some long holes but it will also test your short game with strategically placed bunkers around the fast, medium-sized greens. There is an interesting variety of holes including several winding par 5s and the watery and treacherous 15th hole, which is considered one of Atlanta's most challenging par 4s. The more challenging elements of Mystery Valley Golf Club are balanced by the generous, player-friendly fairways.

Greens
Green are just patches of mud. I can only assume someone in DeKalb County has stolen all of the money available to maintain this course that they spent $10 million on last year. It used to be a budget friendly place to swing the sticks, now I wouldn’t let a cow graze on it.
Greens mostly unplayable
Apparently, the greens recently had herbicide applied. There was very little grass showing but a lot of sand. Hopefully the greens will recover soon. I do like the course.
these were the worst greens I have ever played on
I did not enjoy my around of golf at all. I was forced to pair up with a couple of guys that I had to wait on before I teared off would not have been a problem if the course was busy, but there was no one else on the course except for a foursome that tee off in front of us never saw a group come out after us I mentioned that to the starter, but he insist that we go out together
MV Golf Course
Only thing to mention was diabolical hold locations on the back? Pins were put on side hills and putts that were barely moving at the hole would roll off the green??
The Greens?!! What happened?
Just dropping a review to make anyone playing after 4/20/2025 aware of the greens. I am not sure what happened and how long it will take to recover but we were not made aware of the fact that every inch of every green is basically gone. The fairways were running pretty fast but each and every green was just unplayable. Putting was somewhere between cement and a game of Plinko. We love this course and will return, just not until the greens have grass on them again.
Worst greens in Atlanta. Events and Men’s league on weekends
This course is such a great layout and such a good deal, but it stops there. After completely renovating their greens one year ago, as of today, they are unplayable and probably the worst greens in the greater Atlanta area. Even though I’ve played this course more than anything else in the area, I will not be returning.
Furthermore, they completely mismanage their tee sheets on the weekend. They decided that Saturday is a good day for their men’s league to play. This leads to additional groups being added and players starting on the back nine, so they need to make the turn right at the busiest part of the day.
Greens are wrecked
This course has such potential, but the greens are in terrible shape. Hardpack sand.dirt and weeds populated far more of the green than any grass. They need to close for a while and regrow them. I won't be back this year.
Tough Greens
The greens were not in good shape. It made for a long day. I’m not exactly sure what is going on with the greens. It was like putting on packed dirt, sand and grass all rolled up in one. I would love to come back when the greens are in better shape.
Greens in bad shape
Not sure what happened to greens replaced in last couple years, hope they recover. Probably not go back until greens improve. Maybe consider offering a price break considering greens current conditions. Staters helpful by allowing us to go off back to help with pace of play, 3.5 hrs round.
Greens
Had a good time playing fairways were nice, but the greens are in bad shape will be a month or so before they’re right
Great layout - conditions ok
I had the chance to play the Mystery Valley with my son in April. I loved the course design but could tell from the conditions that it had not yet recovered from the colder winter weather. Greens were fast due to lack of grass but were still pretty true. I would love to play the course again.
Pace of play
Pace of play was terrible on a Tuesday morning. Sr groups held the back 9 up. On the front 9, a 5-sum played together.
The greens were bumpy but the fairways were decent.
All and all I would play there again because of the great course layout. Hopefully the greens and pace of play is better.
Used to be a nice coarse
I haven’t golfed here for about three years. I used to come all the time before kids. The tee boxes and greens are in absolute garbage condition. You can not gauge a putt distance nor speed because they play like plinko. Do not spend money here.
Review of course
Golf carts are in terrible condition. Brakes were a challenge. Greens were horrible. Tee boxes need work. I don’t recommend this course
Good course
This is a good course for beginners/intermediate level golfers.
The mens league has been playing on Saturday for the last 30 plus years.
