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.

So play today and NO SAND,

Slow play with NO RANGER IN SIGHT. Shouldn’t happen at a course where folks are paying these prices.

And what is the deal with no sand in the traps on these courses? Charge me $5.00 extra and get some real sand - they are all like mud traps with rocks at this point.

Cool, but tough course

Staff was really friendly, especially the starter who gave us a few tips before teeing off. I really liked the layout and overall scenic elements of the course. The ground was super saturated and felt like it had been raining for days, even though it was only drizzling for a few hours (for the first time since August.). My one gripe is that the bunkers were like playing on hard clay with loose gravel mixed in. They were so bad that I was afraid of damaging my clubs in a few spots. Otherwise we had a great time and hopefully the weather cooperates if/when we play again
