Crystal Falls Golf Club is now a Youth on Course participating facility. Youth on Course is a great program that promotes junior golf by providing young people with access to thousands of golf courses. Youth on Course members typically pay $5 or less for a round of golf. For more info and to sign up, go to: https://youthoncourse.org/

So….what is the #1 complaint heard by golfers at most golf courses? You guessed it, slow play! In this month’s segment, we’ll provide some info on how we can work together to improve the pace of play.

The start time interval matters. At Crystal Falls, start times are set up in 10-minute intervals. This is generally known as the sweet spot for both the players and the golf course. For the course to cover its costs and make a profit, it needs to serve a certain number of golfers per day at a given green fee rate. Some courses use 9 and sometimes 8-minute starting intervals to maximize

When The Unexpected Happens

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

We all expect consistency when planning to enjoy a good round of golf, with a chance to spend 4-5 hours of outdoor time with just yourself, or maybe a few of your friends, or a chance to make some new friends.  Making new friends is a great unexpected happening.  We all have different reasons why we love to play this great game.  Here at our golf course,….

May Madness

On May 18th, our Golf Course Maintenance team set the course for our annual May Madness (aka Greenskeepers Revenge) golf tournament.   Participants were greeted with some unusual tee box locations, challenging pin placements, and more than a few putting green decorations (some may say obstacles!) Not to be overly rattled by the “ant hills” on greens, unfortuante timing of an irrigation sprinkler or benches that somehow found there way on to a putting surface; Scott Charvet and Justin Huskisson emerged in 1st place with at 5 under par in this 2-person scramble.   They finished with a 3 stroke win over Todd Edwards and Thomas Chandler.

The teams of Dennis Sokol & Rithy Khem, and Gregg Lane & Mark Jacobs split the $545 skins pool.  The 4 Closest to the Pin winners each received a hat from the golf shop.

All players received 3 participation points in the 2026 Crystal Cup season standings with 1 additional point going to those who won a skin, or CTP.   CLICK HEREto see the full leaderboard including Skins and Closest to Pin winners.  You will also see a tab showing the 2026 Crystal Cup Season Points standings that have been updated to include those from this event.     To learn more about the Crystal Cup series of events and how to earn points, click here.

We have two Crystal Cup events in June.  Trifecta on June 8, and the Independence Open on June 29.   CLICK HERE for more information and registration.

 It’s not too late to join the fun. The top 120 in the point standings after our August Summer ParTee tournament will be eligible to participate in September’s Crystal Cup Invitational.

For the grip, imagine holding a baby bird in your hands. You want to hold it firm enough, so it doesn’t get away, but you don’t want to crush it either. If your forearms are sore after a round, you’re probably over gripping the club. An easy grip helps…  …..Click Here to continue reading

Central Texas Overseeded Greens Transition and Expectations

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

The welcome color of green grass on putting surfaces and lush turf to hit from on the tees and fairways in Central Texas?  Yes!  Yet you will have to take a calculated risk on the long-term success of our decision to overseed these areas of the golf course for winter golf.  After the joy of 6-7 months during winter to spring to summer, playing on these overseeded areas late May to June, it’s time for the poa triv and the perennial rye grass to fade away with the upcoming Central Texas 90 plus degree temperatures.  This will take time ….

Signs of Spring

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

Spring seems to have started earlier in 2026.  I have learned over the years of experience, along with what I was taught by my Dad and Grandad, and others with the old-world knowledge, to watch for the signs of spring that are letting us know the warm season turf is going to start breaking dormancy.  The birds and wildlife are a little more active along with watching for things like the deer antler sheds and when the Mesquite starts to put on leaf, it is a sign of warmer weather and maybe only a few cold snaps remain….

Intentional Damage

By: Wayne Slaton, Golf Course Superintendent

I understand that golf is a game where sometimes the golf ball will not find the bottom of the cup.  Why do others have to take out their frustration by slamming their putter to the green, or even worse, taking a divot out of a green? 

While the frustrated golfer does not find the bottom of the cup, it does no good to take a divot or inflict damage by slamming a putter to the green.  Everyone else playing behind this damaged area must deal with it.  No one wants to putt over damage that an inconsiderate golfer has caused.  The golf course maintenance team….

The sold out Turkey Shoot golf tournament introduced a new, fun format with a 4 person “step aside” scramble.   With 128 competitors in the field, the foursome of Dennis Sokol, Teddy Wheeler, Randy Nichols and Rithy Khem went home in 1st place.  Steve David, Peach Reynolds, Eric Petty and Matt Brothers were Closest to Pin winners, and each received 4 tickets to an upcoming Texas Stars home game at the H-E-B Center.  Entry included a skins game and there was only 1 outright winning team on the day!   Eric Barrs, Eric Barrs Jr, Ben Smith and Sam Avasthi split the $640 pot.  Final Leaderboard
