Ballyowen Golf Club

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.

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.

Beautiful course and great condition! Staffs very friendly!

After meeting the staff, you feel like in Scotland.

Nice links style course layout, somewhat challenging with water hazards on multiple holes.

Definitely planning to play more often here.

Great Layout and good assortment of tees. Big greens that roll true. Would play again. Only drawback is food and drink are very pricey.

Course is amazing, somewhat challenging, and would definitely return. Two negatives-gas powered golf carts were a bit scary on the hilly terrain (and is not in line with Crystal Springs "green" initiatives.)

and the pace of play was hideous. My group consisted of myself and my husband...and the round took five hours. There were two extremely slow groups ahead of us and the Ranger basically told us "there was nothing he could do..." Since the Ranger indicated that the same two groups were problematic the day before at one of the sister courses, I think the issue should have been addressed.

Great pace of play. Course in good condition and greens ran true if not just a tad slower than expected. To be fair it was a little wet as we finished eighteen by 10am.

I was disappointed with the course condition. The tees were aerated, the greens aerated a month ago and still weren't cured. They were extremely bumpy. Every putt bobbled. The place was nothing like the last time I played it about 5 years ago. I had nothing but high praise for this course, today that changed. The person I played with couldn't understand how I thought this course was so good, I understand his sentiment. We played Neshanic last week and it was in far superior shape.

Other than aerating, the course is a great test. The elevation changes make you use unusual clubs for the measured yardages on approach shots.

Enjoyed playing here very much! The greens were perfect and the staff very helpful! Only bummer was cart paths only but Mother Nature made that call.

Love this part of NJ as it feels like you are in the mountains of the Carolinas! Would be happy to come back anytime!!!

Five tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels. The greens were fairly fast and in good condition. The course is expensive and the pace of play was slow on the back nine.

For April, the conditions were great, cannot complain. The staff is very friendly, even let me go back and get an additional 9 in with no charge. If you have the money, get a round here.
