Wild Turkey Golf Club

Arrated greens are to be expected but every sand trap( there are plenty) was a mud trap. Great track but for $120 the bunkers should have sand

Wild Turkey is a hidden gem. It doesn't get the accolades of Ballyowen, but it should. Every hole is interesting, no gimmicks. The rangers kept up the pace of play, greens were good (a litttle slow due to rain), the fairways could be cut shorter. I would give this an 8 of 10 for a solid, fun public course in a beautiful setting.

I was there on the weekend with my family. Had great time.

I left after finishing the front 9 because the pace of play was so slow. I'd be standing on the tee box for 10-15 minutes while the group in front of me watched from the fairway the group in front of them on the green. It was not enjoyable. I went to the pro shop and received a credit but I'm honestly relectant to go back. It's not a convenient drive and I don't want to waste my day again.

I really don't like this course listed below are only a few reasons why.

A- Toooo expensive. The tee times alone are $110 on a Saturday, but as if that isn't enough they charge you a $3 "resort" fee, which you have no choice but to pay. A beer is $6 or more. A bottle of water is $3. When you pay over $100 for a tee time you should be taken care of, not taken advantage of.

B-play is almost always slow bc the walk from the cart to many tee boxes and many greens is very far.

C- the course meanders its way through an enormous development. It's doesn't feel like one course, it's like you are playing 4 or 5 different courses. Also, the cart ride from 3 to 4, 9 to 10, 11 to 12 and 17 to 18 is well 400 yards. It's annoying, time consuming and NOT indicative of a course that charges $100 + for a tee time

D- the staff is unfriendly, I was treated like a tourist that is never going to play there again. I would highly recommend skipping this course unless you like over paying for mediocre golf and amenities.

I played this course at an MGA "Play-Day" event. The course was in a great shape. I seldom play greens as fast as these (most courses on Long Island don't roll them this tight), so putting was a challenge, but that's a good thing not a bad thing. I found the course layout perfect. I normally carry a driver 270-280 so there was a lot of use with the driver off the tee, but I was also able to use 3W on a few holes and even something less on others. It's long, but some holes make you think about the approach. I played from the blue tees.

My only grip would be the bunkers. It seemed as though there were different types of sand used in the bunkers and some bunkers needed to be filled badly. Also, perhaps better signage for carts as there are long distances between holes. We got a little lost trying to find the 16th tee, a par 3. Other than that I found the course to be fantastic and look forward to perhaps staying at one of the resorts in the future.

conditions were way off previous years standards. greens shaggy and way too slow. downhill putts stop like you were putting on velcro. sand traps were muddy, rocky, no sand. very disappointed given past good experiences especially.

golf course are just beautiful

Very good condition and good facilities

They charged $3.00 more than the quoted price as a resort fee. I am wondering if such information can be indicated at the time of reservation.

It's a hike but a good track

I played Wild Turkey today and for $40 you can't ask for more. The tees and fairways were in good shape (fairways air aerated) and the pace of play was great. 3:45 for 18 holes.

However, there was no starter so I just walked onto the first tee and paired up with a resident who was starting too. He didn't have many kind things to say about the way the courses have been managed. Can't say I blame him when there is no starter at the booth where 3 golf courses intersect.

The greens were aerated a month ago according to my partner and were in pretty rough shape. Late in the summer season it has to be done, but don't waste your money on a $100 tee time. Spent most of my round fixing ball marks. I saw another reviewer mention the sand on these greens and that is true. When you hit the green, first thing you see is a puff of sand.

Overall, the course is wonderful. Great holes that challenge your game in every way. When the greens are fast and true, this is a great golf course. I will be back.

Good conditions scenic excellent staff

Dramatic views everywhere, staff was super friendly. The course itself is in great condition, except that the people that play it don't do a great job of fixing ball marks and stuff. There was no divot mix on the carts, which was frustrating because of how soft the fairways were.

But if you want to stand on every tee box and say "wow that's gorgeous", this is the perfect place for you.

I don't remember the course too much other than some holes were hard and some were easy. I was too busy having fun on the Golf Board! If you're able to you MUST pay the extra $ and go with the board. It's a single rider. And with the ups and downs cart paths of the course it's a thrill itself. Personally I think all golf carts should be single riders, it would speed up play even more.

Some great holes here. The course was in great condition, tees, fairways and greens. The routing is terrible, follow the arrows closely. Some long rides from green to next tee. Don't even think about walking.

Favorite holes, #1, par 4 down hill, with a beautiful view.

#7, par 3 all carry over quarry filled with water to a narrow green. It's a little on the expensive side.

Fun good conditions Beautiful views interesting holes couldn't ask for more

Love the course

Gray facilities.

I'd give it a 5 out of 5 if the bunkers (which there are a ton of) were in better shape. The fairways were aerated too, but will recover as the crystal springs courses always do.

This is my kind of golf course. Wide fairways, lots of elevated tees, big greens and few trees. In other words, all kinds of room to hit the ball, miss and recover. Really, I thought about giving Wild Turkey five stars, but it's not quite on the level of Ballyowen, which might be the best public course in New Jersey. Still, I'm not sure I didn't enjoy Wild Turkey more than Ballyowen, simply because we could play it faster and make more birdies. On top of that, the views were amazing, like the one on the par-3 10th, with a drop of more than 75 feet, and there are several vantage points on the course where you can see the surrounding countryside for 50 miles or more.
