Mystic Oak Golf Course in Waterloo has a diverse layout that seems to play a little differently each time you're on it. The layout features long, winding fairways and gently sloping greens, which are framed by a slew of strategically placed bunkers. There are also many water hazards that come into play throughout the golf course. The gently rolling terrain has subtle ups and downs that provide tricky uneven lies. The back nine is uniquely divided into three par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s each. The golf course will test your short-game skills but the lengthy par 5s offer driving opportunities for long hitters as well. Mystic Oak Golf Course is player friendly enough for a wide range of skill levels but you may be surprised to find yourself using all the clubs in your bag.

Good golf course but

Overall, the courses played well. If the course had a driving range, I would rate it 4 stars.

Very Nice Course

Fairways are in pretty good shape considering the time of year. Greens are in very good condition. Some tee boxes are a little tire. Course has some really challenging holes and some easy ones so there is something for every player. Overall this is a great place and lots of fun to play. I recommend it as a great value too.

Great for the price

Marshall drove by several times and did nothing to help unclog the backup. Had to skip last few holes due to very very slow play. Pro shop lady was delightful

Mystic Oaks

The clubhouse is recovering from a fire , previously the food was good, and a comfortable atmosphere. The clubhouse is almost finished. The course has a variety of holes from simple to a couple that are almost unfair. Controlling your tee shot is imperative. If you can do that on the tough holes then you can score. The cost is fair for what you get.

Angry front desk

The past two times I’ve played mystic oak the old lady in the clubhouse is extremely rude. We played late November in 40 degree weather. Yelled at me to get off the putting green that was NOT frozen whatsoever after a 3 hour delay because of frozen greens. Wasted a day off of work for her to have us sit around for 3 hours just to tell us we are waisting our time and made us leave the course.

Insanely rude staff

I’ve played at this course before and the course is beautiful. I brought my friend out who never played so he could enjoy this course. Tee time was 1:40pm and we arrived at 1:20pm. Checked in and they said there was a scramble going on and we might have to wait and start on the back nine due to another event at 3 that closed the back nine. While warming up at the putting green, one of the workers drove by and said there’s more people delayed with the scramble and would have to wait till all of them had passed. Never giving us a time on when we could play and with another event at 3. We decided to leave and wanted our money back and they said it couldn’t be done and would have to contact GolfNow. It’s absolutely ridiculously they offer tee times if there’s no room for people to play. The only thing we got was “we don’t know how long events last”. Then don’t allow scheduling. Not a single apology was given and made it like we were inconveniencing them for showing up at our paid tee time. I called GolfNow and got refunded and the the representative said “the owner has band you from playing here”. This just goes to show how they treat you as a customer. You’re not the only good golf course out here and I know the owner doesn’t care about your time or money. Such a shame for a beautiful course.
