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.

Don't bring a lunch.

Excellant and well maintained course. Very small area's on the fairways that were under repair, nothing outrageous just common landing areas. Multiple tee locations to off set this.

Although the grass was not fully grown in, the course played consistent on both the fairways and the greens. Several holes with difficult approach shots due to water hazards, a definite risk reward design to challenge the player into making mistakes.

Plan on eating lunch in the clubhouse, the course rents out space to a BBQ caterer, Mr. BBQ. If this course was closer to my home, I would make the club house a routine lunch stop, the BBQ is that good and is always a highlight of playing there.

Fun but Slow

The course is good for the money. We hit a few log jams along the way and had to wait 10-15 minutes to tee off. I will still visit this course on occasion.

Great weather, slooooow play!

Always enjoy playing this course but the group in front of us were so slow we were able to go in get a sandwich and a beer at the turn and the next 3 holes (10, 11, & 12) were a pleasure because they were 3 holes ahead of us; then we caught them on 13! Its hard when your in a groove and then have to stand and wait and wait and wait! Not the course fault but they could use a Marshall there.

Played on a Friday, which is usually slow play so we knew what to expect.

Not a course we play regularly. T boxes were VERY dry. Hole #16 presents the biggest challenge.
