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.

Mystic oaks

The day we played was cold (40s), some wind, Cart path only. Good carts, putting practice green, turf was soft, zoysia fairways haven’t greened yet, the greens were pretty good based on March, good value for the fee.

Zero regard for tee times

Let two groups play in front of our tee time. Way to many players on course, allowed multiple 5 somes in front and back of us. Waited at tee box almost every hole with another group. Took 6hrs to play 18 holes

Nice Course

Great course to play. Several challenging holes. Fairways were in good shape and the greens were in great shape considering it's early December. If you are looking for a challenge give it a try.

Fun Course

Pace of play was a little slow on a Saturday, but had a fun layout. Every hole had its own character, not boring at all.

Really entertaining and fun layout

As soon as we finished our round, we wanted to go right back and play it again as the course was so much fun. Great mix of fun and challenging holes.

The clubhouse is closed due to a fire so not much to look at when checking in. A couple tee boxes were beat up but the rest of the course was in great shape. The greens were excellent and most seemed pretty big and relatively large. Some forced carries and there was water on a good number of holes.

No. 14 is an island green and was a blast to play. It was 130 yards to the middle when we played. Three members of our group hit it on the green, but I hit a hook into the water. Oh well, it was still fun to play!

Overall a great layout that I will return to play for sure again.

Course staff

I’m from out of town and I’ve been playing golf for 17 years. Today was the worst experience I’ve ever had with the staff of a course. They were so rude and had no hospitality. If I could have got my money back after 9 holes I would have. I will not be returning to this course.
