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.

Great overall
Greens a little banged up but otherwise outstanding experience. Amazing open layout and some beautiful holes
Overpriced
Overpriced relative to deteriorated conditions. Great layout that has gotten worse in the last 1-2 years. Bunkers were mostly poor with rocks. Tee boxes somewhat beat up. Fairways also in mediocre conditions. Greens generally were in OK condition.
Way overpriced for mediocre conditions especially on weekend. Unless you can find a discounted price NOT worth the price. Very disappointing for what used to be a must play course.
Wild Turkey
Greens in Fairway really hacked up many divots and ball marks not repaired
Air rated greens
Greens had just been air rated and the job was amateur. Holes not filled with sand and other parts loaded with sand. Greens are huge so they should have treated 1/2 of each green and let you play on the good part. Pace of play was slow.
Does Wild Turkey ever rake ots bunkers
I understand that aeration had taken place; however, bunkers looked like they hadn't been raked in weeks. Hard surface with dried impressions from water streams. Maybe WT has an employment issue. Not a good excuse at those prices. Had always loved WT previously. Will not be back anytime soon.
5:30 hrs round
When you paid close to a $100 a round, I expected the round to be finished within 4:30hrs. It is close to 5:15th round and it is completely unacceptable.. We have to wait at every shot for every hole. We will never go back. It is faster playing in a local town course with half the price and will definitely finish within 5 hrs top.
Greens full of Divots and Rocks in the bunkers
The overall condition of your greens is unacceptable! The divots were to put it mildly, a major reason why our game was so far off yesterday. Our group repaired them constantly. Now for your rocks in the bunkers , no sand in them because there isn't any! No ranger to complain about the slow pace? We told the group in front of us that it's called ready golf! It was not a fun day for anyone in our group. This really is a beautiful course but sadly it needs a lot of loving care!!!!
What a waste of a great course layout!
This is one of my favorite courses and it’s sad to see how little is done to maintain the course. So many divots and ball marks all over the place. Nothing provided on the carts to fill divots. Bunkers are in horrible shape. For the price charged for a round, it’s very sad that none of that is being used to maintain the course. I won’t be going back anytime soon until I hear the course is in better shape.
Brutal pace of play
This course is great but it is a little on the expensive side so I don’t understand why they allow a turtles pace of play if you are going to charge premium price you have to move people along
Greens were very beat up
