Crystal Downs Country Club is nestled between Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake, offering scenic views of both as you play the golf course. The course was crafted by the famed design team of Alister MacKenzie and Perry Maxwell. They designed a links layout that features all of the traditional characteristics, from fescue rough to creative bunkering that takes advantage of the natural contours of the terrain. Rolling fairways and wind will challenge you, but the course's real test is on its greens. Some are intimidatingly pitched, like on the second and 11th holes where there is more than six feet of elevation change from back to front. Crystal Downs is consistently rated one of the top courses in the country.

    This is one of the finest golf experiences in the USA, maybe the world. A beautiful Alister MacKenzie masterpiece.
