Crystal Springs Golf Club

I have played Crystal Springs many times. For all the headaches it causes you because of its difficulty, it's still fun to play. The conditions were great, greens were perfectly smooth and fairly quick. I always recommend it, but remember that you'll very likely shoot higher than you do elsewhere.

With all that said, this day felt like a money grab. $70 is too much for Crystal Springs. Tee times are packed 10 minutes apart which hurts pace of play. Many of the tees were way up so the course was not playing it's true yardage. On some holes the tips, blue and white tees were all grouped together. Just an absolute joke of a course setup. Felt like it was silly season out there, except with premium pricing.

No ball washers or water coolers and they still had the stupid metal piece in the holes. Aren't we over this by now? Nobody is getting the virus from touching a flag stick, hole, ball washer or water cooler that sit exposed to UV rays all day long.

If you're going to reduce amenities and not make it feel normal, you can't be charging a premium. The prices NJ courses are charging for a round of golf this year are absurd. I haven't played many of my favorites because of this and I won't be back to Crystal/Wild Turkey/Ballyowen until they bring their pricing back down to a reasonable level.

A beautiful November day but three hours to play the front nine and we had 4.30 minutes of daylight when we teed off and only got in 14 holes. Not a ranger seen all day... It is hard with leaves down to find balls but they said they were full from 6.30 pm on and so why are there no rangers on the course to help move people along.. Some blind tee shots saw the group behind us hit right into us on several occasions. Great course but disappoint day

So far so good. Challenging course, I like challenges

This course is probably one of the beat maintained courses in all of NJ.

Their downfall is that it took over 3 hours to play 9 holes, and we ran out of daylight.

Tee times were stacked 4 deep on any hole. Not joking.

And then when I asked if I could come back to play the other nine (or which I paid for) the guy said that they will not allow that.

So disappointed.

Over three hours to play the front nine. Greens were hard but slow, like they haven’t been aerated this year. Some tee boxes and fairways beat up. I think due to sheer volume of play. Layout and difficulty fantastic. Beautiful surroundings and facilities. Made the 6+ hour round tolerable.

Great course for the $$$.... challenging layoud, overall course was in good shape.

very scenic.

If you can’t put the ball in the fairway you are in trouble because of the moguls. Course has a challenging layout. Some pIn locations were impossible to hit . Even the pros would complain. Even if you hit the fairways the ball is never level which makes for a very challenging shot for the average golfer . Staff was friendly and helpful.

I have an issue with this course mix up and when i go to the contact us part of golfnow website there is no way to contact them. I'd really like to get some help here with this problem.

Made a res for Crystal Springs, drove 1-1/2 hrs to get there. Pro shop tells me there is an outing so he will put me out on Wild Turkey course, $50 please??

There was nobody in charge to help me??

Now i have to figure out how to get my money back.

Nice course but the holes are scattered all over the complex.

Very confusing!
