About

Crystal Springs Golf Club in Hamburg touts a reputation of being not only the most challenging golf course in New Jersey, but also one of the most challenging layouts east of the Mississippi. The site filled with water after its use as a limestone quarry in 1929, which formed the natural springs on the 10th hole that the course is named after. The layout is definitely a shot-maker's course. Carefully sculpted mounding that frames the fairways and greens defines each hole. There is also tall and gnarly rough treacherously guarding the tight fairways. The golf course sits just a few miles from New Jersey's highest point, sprawling across an undulating terrain that makes it difficult to find an even lie. One of the most notably difficult, and subsequently the most talked about, holes is the 11th. The hole is perched atop a cliff overlooking the Windsor Quarry.

Great deal

Been coming here for years. It's always challenging layout . Since green went through aeration it wasn't the same as expected but no one but myself at the course, practicing shots, Great weather for under 40dollars , how can I complain. Friendly ranger even found lost wedge i left at hole #7. Looking forward to come back

Aerated Greens

Ridiculous that there wasn’t a big discount. Never seen greens so sandy in my life.

Excellent Course conditions

Played in the course. Everything went well. We faced issues with the starter and the cart No Starter and our cart stopped at hole 6 due to poor battery.

However the pro shop manager helped us and gave us golf vouchers as a compensation

The bathrooms were not open for the season so you have to control your bladder for 5 hours or use the bush.

Enjoyed the game at this excellent course.

Thank you

Awful 4 people before our group

Almost 6 hours golf rounding.

Every holes we got to wait for playing our turn.

There was no a ranger to control slower players to hurry.

I shouted couple of times to make them to move on but I didn’t want to make me more crazy feeling because of them.

I let them playing whenever they were taking. It made us near 6 hours rounding.

Green were so bumpy and slow. I’ve been playing so many times in this course every season. I’ve never gotten this experience ever before.

I recommend to golfers who may want to go this course.

You need to go after few more weeks. They may maintain more good conditions than now.
