Crystal Highlands Golf Club

Detailed description of Crystal Highlands Golf Club

Crystal Highlands Golf Club was originally a public, then private, and now a semi-public, 18 hole golf course located in Festus, Missouri.

Crystal Highlands Golf Club opened in 1988. The course was designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan.

The Union Pacific Railroad Company bought the then public golf course in 2003, put $4 million into a course remodel, and restricted its use to dignitaries and guests who played only a handful of rounds each month. 

The course was purchased in 2021 by local businessman Gary Surdyke with plans of opening as a semi-private golf club, open to the public. The course will be reopened on August 2, 2021.

This par-72 course has narrow fairways and small, undulating greens.

Blue tees: 6,542 yards, 71.6 / 135

White tees: 6,000 yards, 69.1 / 130

Red tees: 4,953 yards, 68.0 / 109
