Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fun course
Great course - would rate it an excellent if the bunkers had sand like Ballyowen. Sand was hard and difficult to hit out of and our entire foursome found this to be the case.
Fun course with forgiving fairways
Wild Turkey has always been one of my favorites.
Excellent weather conditions and course in very good shape.
Price is higher than average for a splurge.
But it is a fun course with excellent surroundings
wild turkey
The golf course as always was in fantastic shape. Attention to details is amazing. The views are great and this is my favorite of the crystal springs golf courses. Pricy, but one course you must play!
Enjoyable round of golf
Had a great time on on spring Tuesday. The course was surprisingly empty on a sunny day. Greens a little bumpy from recent aeration. Played fast and will come back.
NIce course condition in April
The course is in very good shape on tee, fairway, and greens. The only drawback is the pace of play due to slow play by golf league a few groups in front of us. Most of leaves are cleaned in the course. The green is well maintained.
Won't go back
The course was VERY disappointing. The greens were aerated last month and did not recover in any way. They were VERY slow and bumpy, not mowed in at least a week and never rolled. The sand traps were not taken care of and looked neglected. Just overall a bad experience, and I will not be back. I do not recommend this course at any price right now.
Wild Turkey
I have played this course numerous times, and is usually very good. Aeration took place a month ago, and it does not look like the greens have been rolled or maintained since. Very poor green condition, and several traps look like they were filled with cement. Honestly ! Will not be back until I receive a good report.
Wild Turkey
great day - course beautiful - golf now price was great - bar menu after was average
Nice facility, fair and enjoyable course
Nice golf course, well laid out and very fair, and overall a beautiful facility. The starter was pretty grumpy that day, though, not making for a very good first impression.
Unfortunately it was cart-path only even though it hadn't rained in several days, so we did a lot of walking, and it's a hilly course. That, combined with the distances between the cart path and the greens, made for a lot of exercise.
That said, the pace of play was good.
Challenging Course
Challenging course, but I still enjoyed it. Course was in great shape and the staff was extremely friednly
Great value!
I have played at Crystal Springs twice now. There are multiple courses, all offering their own challenges and views. The Cascades was probably my favorite as far as the layout and variety of holes. The par 3 11th hole is my absolute favorite. Not only is it a spectacular view from the tee box, but the tee shot itself is not like many you'll have played before. You tee it up at the top of a cliff and hit down to the green 180 yds away. It's awesome!
Being up in the mountains, you're always sure to have a beautiful breeze in the summer. The course itself has some difficult undulations, but it's all part of it's charm. It's seclusion in the mountains makes for a peaceful, quiet and scenic round! Just go on Golf Now and you can get some great deals for an afternoon tee time there. We've played for $30 or less a person and it's more than worth it!
Great layout
A December round is a huge bonus. Course was in great shape for the off season. Good pace of play. 19th hole was terrific. Would definitely play here again. Five stars all around.
Wild Turkey is in great shape
Fairways & greens are in great shape. One of the best aspects is that there are little to no leaves on the course, which at this time of the year, is a great feature. You do not have to spend any extra time looking for balls in the leaves unless you are way off the fairway.
Great course
Very enjoyable. Great views while golfing. Would come back again anytime
Great course
What a amazing course. The course was in great condition in mid October. The only downfall was slow play.
Favorite Crystal Springs Course
The course was in great shape.
I find this course more interesting than Ballyowen, the holes are more diverse,
always a pleasure to play
great shape one of my favourite course to play would recommend to anyone
Beautiful course
The course was gorgeous! The pro shop staff was very polite. The greens were pristine and the fairways were meticulously cut. The only bad thing was we booked a 3PM tee time and could only complete 13 holes before it got dark. The play was very slow. There is a need for a ranger in the afternoon. But with that said, a course worth playing!
One of the best in New Jersey
Great course . Nice layout and variability. Challenging but extremely playable. Greens were pretty fast and took some getting used to but were consistent. I have played all the other Crystal Springs courses and I will definitely play here again.
Challenging layout
For 45 bucks, this was a pretty good deal. The area is really beautiful and the layout of the the course is very fine. If I'd been paying full price, I might have had something to say about the condition of the greens, but as I say, for 45 bucks I'd go back again. We're thinking of going back next week, in fact.
