Crystal Springs Golf Club

This is a great course. I played from the tips and it is tough. You better have a good day driving the ball otherwise your in for a long round. Greens were excellent and if you missed the green long you payed the price.

Got delay due to an outing. Front nine was slow. We cruised through back nine until hitting the wall again at 17th hole. The course is not as good as I played before. A lot of spots in fairway and rough got burned. The sand bunkers had a lot of small rocks. They could take care the beautiful course a little better.

I played as a single with a superb rental set (TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons, stiff flex, SLDR woods). Rattled round under 3 hours despite playing the last 6 holes behind a 4. Really tight driving holes, sometimes hard to see exactly where to hit it, but it's not tricked up in any way off the tees. I recommend playing the Black tees if you're a single figure player. Loved it !

Great great course but a 6 hour round ruins ur experience ... No rangers moveing slow players along we waited every hole and would have love to quit but we all game from a long way away .... Theres 7 courses they should let people know the course is severly backed up and put u somewhere else because for a 100$ it should be enjoyable

i like it it but you cannot do anything after the round.

Like to challenge my game and this course was perfect for the day! I would recommend this course for hardcore golfers.

Pace of play was very slow,over 5 plus hours,waiting on every tee,ranger said he was trying to move people in front. Some greens were slow and others fast and most of the sand traps unranked and hard. I feel for the money charged they should rake the traps much more than they do.Gold tees for seniors would be nice.

Tees are in good shape
Fairways and rough are well maintained
Greens need to be cut lower. Green speed needs to be increased.
Bunkers need a lot of attention
Course has good holes

Tight fairways, and very undulating greens. Even if you hit a good tee shot you can be on uneven ground for the next shot. Make sure to hit to the proper tier on the green or else you could roll way away and have a crazy putt. Still a nice course. If you're looking for a leisurely round, this is not for you. Be mentally prepared for the necessary shot making

I have a love/hate relationship with this course. When I'm playing well I can't shoot a good score. When I'm not playing well the course destroys me. Very interesting designed holes. visually beautiful. Don't think I have ever seen more undulation in the fairways and rough on any other course in the area. Huge bumps that make it difficult to get a flat lie. The rough is deep and thick. When you finally reach the green then you have to deal with the slopes, tiers, and huge breaks. This course is not for the faint of heart. Should come with a warning sign. When you think you hit a perfect drive in the fairway just wait and see the crazy lie you have to deal with to get to the green. Don't expect to play this course well. But have fun with it.

I play Crystal Springs once or twice a year, each time inviting a newcomer just to hear their expressions as drives with slight draws or fades deflect off the fairway moguls and leave unintended second and third shots into inviting greens. The course demand straight shots and precision if you hope to post a score close to your true handicap. The #2 hole on the classic side is by far one of the most scenic golf holes you will ever play. Overall a great experience.

In my opinion the most interesting golf course of Crystal Springs and probably the most challenging of the North New Jersey area. You really need to think about every shot, especially from the tee as is very important to place the first shot in the right part of the fairway. You need to be very accurate in every shot. Played following a day of heavy rain and course was in great conditions anyway. In addition even if I was the first on the course and played as a single did find only very few people working on the greens, which were all very well prepared. Even at the fill price of $85 I believe is a must play, more than Wild Turkey and Ballyowen.

This was the first time I played this course and I cannot wait to go back there. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I did not like was the sprayers were on on the greens while we were playing and on some holes we had play through the sprayer. Overall it was a very tough course and certainly not for beginners. Highly recommended

I like playing Balyowen and Wild Turkey but this course is a bit out there...blind shots, tight holes...for me its a one and done...not that i hated it but its just something to experience once kinda like tobacco road in NC. Some scenic and beautiful holes though esp the down hill par 3!

Great course in great condition for a New Jersey public course. Tight fairways and large greens. Overall a fun and enjoyable layout.

A bit pricey but if you can get a good deal this place is fantastic!

If the pace of play wasn't ridiculously slow this would have been an all around great round. No rangers seen to enforce pace and didn't see a cart girl until the back 9. Grabbed an overlooked, bone dry burger and an iced tea at the turn for only the price of a steak at Lugars. I.e. Expensive for the quality. Everyone was very nice though and the conditions were great.

The fairways were absolutely ridiculous. It was tough to have a decent lie with all the hills and elevation changes. I'm a 20-handicap and this course provided a great test to my game. Every shot needed to be carefully planned and executed. The greens were very fast and it wasn't easy to read the breaks. Overall, this was a fun layout and a great afternoon!

Amazing views. Well designed course except for the famous 11th hole was tucked behind trees for the ladies tees.
Hopefully next time it won't be.

The course is a nice track. The practice facility is nice and easy to get to. The course has a reputation of being challenging and lived up to that.
You need to be on your game when playing this course and keep the ball in or very near the fairway.
There are uneven lies in the fairways and some of the greens have large undulations and are difficult to read. Playing the course more than once will help scoring.
