Mystery Valley Golf Club

Pains me to do this because when in good shape this is one of the more enjoyable public courses and one of the best values around Atlanta. The greens are terrible right now. Many are completely dead and essentially putting on baked mud. We called auto two-putts in most cases because they were just unputtable in many spots. It's such a shame because they just resurfaced them a couple years ago and had them in good shape for a little while. Hopefully it bounces back this summer, and if they do I will gladly come back and update this, but they have a long way to go

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.

Congratulations Mystery Valley! You have risen to the top of the list for worst greens ever. I have putted on temporary greens that were better. These greens were composed of dirt, sand and the occasional patch of grass that was like putting through the rough. The fairways did have a lot of ground under repair so at least you could move your ball within the rules of golf if you landed in one of these areas. It's going to take years for these greens to recover assuming they hire a greens keeper that knows what he/she is doing. They should not charge more than $25 for this course until the greens recover. At least golfers can work on the rest of their game and maybe work on their putting elsewhere.
