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.

Great course
Great course fun course but not worth the $220 with greens still being bumpy won’t take the hour and a half drive again
Double fee
They charged a convenience fee on top of yours. Cost me an extra 20 bucks for the round.
Fantastic course
Must play excellently maintained links design large greens fast speed
Exceptional layout and conditions
Heard a lot about this course and was looking forward to playing it for some time. Let me say, the course did not disappoint. Absolutely gorgeous and in great condition. Will definitely be back. Only annoyance was the lack of cordiality from the started. Not exactly what you wanna confronted with before your round.
Too expected there!
I was expecting too much there.
I do not know why they have a good review.
I am playing 3~4 times a week at many place.
I sometime play at Cristal springs and black bear .
They were good value for the fee.
But if I have to pay more than them to this course.
I do not play this course anymore.
If the summer time , they do not have any shade in the course .
No 1 golf course in nj
I agree no 1 5stars rank in New Jersey state
Gorgeous layout fantastic fairway
Never seen before
Amazing kindly service from all staffs
Challenge every shot fast green
Excellent course. Loved it.
I would absolutely go back there.
Great Course, Terrible Value
Stick to golf. If you limit your field of vision strictly to the golf course - and don't look at the $185 price tag (with the rumor of going over $200 during peak - we scheduled pre-season at $90), and don't look at the $12 White Claws, and $14 Hot Dogs, and the practice range that is "wedges only"... and if you do all that, step on the first tee - it's a great course that doesn't guard the states' crown jewel behind a financial firewall for others to enjoy.
