About
Ballyowen Golf Club is an homage to the great Scottish links courses, the place where golf originated. The course sprawls across 250 acres of rolling farmland that overlooks the Walkill River. The layout tumbles through valleys and hills, staying as true as possible to the natural contours of the land. Much like a traditional links golf course, the virtually treeless landscape is accented with craggy knolls. The challenging layout features lush green fairways that contrast beautifully with the pristine white sand bunkers and golden patches of rough that border the greensides. There are also water hazards that come into play on five holes. Ballyowen has earned the title of New Jersey's top public course and Golfweek has even ranked it as one of the top 50 courses in the country.

Spectacular
Always love playing this course!! Eagled the par 5 17th hole too!! Not an easy task!
One of the best in New Jersey
All around great deal through GolfNow hot deal great to play this course at a reduced price so worth it
Great Course
Hadn’t played it in several years but so glad I got back there. Course is outstanding.
Got a nice discount on GolfNow due to aerated greens. Course was nearly empty late on a Monday afternoon. Tee boxes and fairways in good shape. Some bunkers had very hard sand with pebbles and small rocks throughout. Carts were basic and lacked GPS, which was surprising since the 3 crystal springs courses at the lodge all have it.
Great Course
Great course a lot of fun to play. Very windy. The bag piper at the turn is a nice touch.
Beautiful course
This course had a great layout and was in excellent condition! Staff were very friendly. The place gives you a taste of Scotland/Ireland!!!
Gorgeous Golf Course
Amazing, Pretty and great golf course that you need to play here
Great course but only for the right price
There’s no surprise Ballyowen is the signature course for the Crystal Springs resort. Great layout. I went less than a week after they aerated and the greens were still in excellent shape. Amazing. Conditions are great. Staff is friendly. Even carts are nice (nice cushion).
The only thing I would say is the price. I went when there was a special price $105 to play. I also played here one time as a replay ($100). I think it’s worth it for sure. However, I wouldn’t recommend spending $230+ dollars. Sorry, don’t think it’s worth that value.
Starter was very rude.
Starter was rude and unkind. But we enjoyed the course with good weather.
Great venue for golf
Challenging and intimidating, the ruff was rough, the course overwhelmed me, played bad golf quickly, had an excellent time. Highly recommended for play, always good when you can clear water holes, strangely the 7th hole water should not be in play off the tee, but somehow found it's way to the water, had a great time
