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.

good greens

the course is very nice except bunkers were not edged like a high priced course. they had large crew working. you would think they would reduce price when things are not perfect. my tee time was noon and the course did not have much play.

Paired up with 2 other guys, what a great day of golf. The weather couldn't have been any better. The course was in great shape. Will go back soon.

Wish I wasn't so tired to play from the 20 range balls..

Well I got to the course and was told that an outing was going on.. would've been nice to know earlier when I booked it. Luckily didn't get stuck behind the groups until four holes to go (which took forever). The greens could've rolled much faster and it would've been nice to get more than the whopping 20 range balls...
I love this course, and it is an absolute must play for sure. Although it gets very pricey, the only time I will play is if I can find a great deal..

Great day, but pace was painfully slow

When we arrived they warned about a delay due to computer conversion which resulted in double booked tee times. The 20 minute delay turned into an hour. We were aware of the aeration, but wanted to play the course which outside of greens was in excellent shape. I will be back when the greens take.

This course is well maintained for this time of year.

Fairways and tee boxes are in great shape. However, as we were forewarned the greens were recently aerated and sand dressed. This became more and more annoying. Judging distance and speed were impossible. Otherwise, a great day out and we plan on returning when the greens are healed.

Play fast!!!

Tee'd off at 11:30am Dec. 26th on Wild Turkey. I was told it was cart path only due to recent rain. This while I'm watching some members drive all over the course. Had a member group playing 3 groups behind us screaming obscenities at us on the 9th hole because we were supposedly to slow. Was put on the clock by the ranger and told we were fine. Then on the 15th tee the member hit a ball at us from the 13th green. He missed by 20'. I had my 2 month pregnant wife with me. Was going to go confront him but didn't want to go to jail. Finished at 3:55 for a 4hr and 25 min round with cart path only and having never played the course before. I am a 10 handicap golfer that has been playing for 25 yrs and have never had anyone purposely hit a ball at me. While this was mostly caused by the member behind us, we will never go there again because the course did nothing about it. Nice place for the members I guess. Don't bother there is plenty of other places to go that welcome non members.

Bad knees

I have bad knees and can't walk much. Unfortunately, on the first hole, it's cart path only. I was bummed since this hole has a very wide fairway, so if you made a good shot, it is a long trek between the cart and your ball.
Kind of disturbed me quite a bit and this affected my playing for the next several holes.
After that, everything went fine.

Excruciatingly slow play

It was a terrible day to play this course. There was an outing going on before and during our time on the course and our round took 5 hours, 35 minutes to complete. Waiting on every tee and for most second shots. This was totally unexpected and unacceptable on a weekday afternoon. I feel that at the very least I should have been advised of the outing (which always seems to have a lot of hackers). Had I been, I certainly would not have elected to play at that time. I am hereby requesting a refund of the price I paid for the 2 players in the amount of $130.06. Please reply at your earliest.

great layout with some very challenging tee shots

The course is a lot of fun to play with challenges followed by rewards. A little course knowledge could help but not a requirement. Well worth the trip

It's a great course but, they need to rack their bunkers each morning before all of the groups go out. Just something that should not have been overlooked. Otherwise, it's very playable and has a couple of great long par threes. Staff was friendly and professional.

Slow turkey

I arrived a few mins late due to traffic , the staff at the clubhouse was friendly and accommodating ! , however , the starters who are was riminiscent of the movie " crankie old man ", he asked me to skip a few holes and joint a couple who were already playing , I joint them and disturbed play of others I was passing , then the play was slow and no rangers to advice people on speeding up and keeping pace , it was truly horrendous !, such a well designed course , just a little more supervision and friendliness from starters and missing rangers and this " wild turkey" would have been and enjoyable and challenging experience !,

Thanks
