Wild Turkey Golf Club is one of New Jersey's top public courses. It is part of the Crystal Springs Resort, which offers six other courses including the popular Ballyowen and Crystal Springs golf courses. Wild Turkey combines characteristics from both. The layout has a unique design inspired by the interesting topography, which is most aptly described as "basin and ridge." The "basin" of the course is a wide-open expanse that offers plenty of room while the holes that play along the "ridge" of the golf course tumble across a variety of elevation changes. Due to the dramatic undulations of the terrain, it's a tough golf course to walk. Wild Turkey Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 seventh. This tricky hole calls for a demanding carry over a quarry lake in order to reach the well protected green.

Starter - Needs a Service Attitude

Had an unpleasant reaction to my sim asking for a 2nd Score Card. It ruined the front nine for us. And, I left a message for the Mgmnt to call me - still waiting for a reply. The place is great - the experience was a letdown.

Starter was 1 hour behind.

Tee time was 12:40.. we didn’t get out until 1:45 due to an outing running behind. Then we were shotgunned out and no rangers to maintain pace of play

Great course to play

I had great experience at this course and want to go back again but the traffic was so bad. It took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to that course.

Course in nice shape- bunkers are pathetic for the $

The course overall is in the best shape I've ever seen it and have played a million times over the years. The greens get beat up due to lots of play but were OK. The bunkers are offensively bad for the money they are charging now. For $160+ its really unacceptable to have bunkers basically with gravel in them. They redid 1 &18 and the rest are awful. Seems like they are filling in a lot of them with grass but seems pretty silly for a course of this caliber and cost to not have bunkers, with sand?

Best TEC in Jersey

Course is in good shape, they recently had lots of rain, so they were redoing a lot of the sand traps, but the rest of the course was good. The pace of play moves right along and the layout is great with very few blind shots. What makes this place is Rachel at the halfway house. She makes the best Taylor ham, egg, and cheese (TEC) sandwich in New Jersey. The TEC is unbelievable.

Challenging yet appropriate for all skill levels

My only complaint about the course was the condition of the greens. They were sandy, full of ball marks and annoyingly slow. Someone actually chipped off the 17th green and left divots! Other than that, we had a great round. Shout out to the super friendly, professional cart girl.
