Wild Turkey Golf Club

If you enjoy 5 1/2 hours rounds this place is perfect for you. 3 foursomes backed up at every tee. No rangers to speed play. Not worth the money at any price.

They sent me out the first day as a single with 4-5 4sones in front of me and today they sent me out with a 2 who never played golf before

I LOVE THIS COURSE, ITS GREAT!! VERY FUN TO PLAY, VERY WELL KEPT AND THE STAFF IS AWESOME!! AMAZING FAIRWAYS, AMAZING GREENS AND OVERALL BEAUTIFUL!! GO UP TO CRYSTAL SPRINGS AND ENJOY PLAYING AND HAVING A GREAT TIME!! I AM DEFINITELY PLAYING AGAIN!

Unfortunately, while I used to love wild turkey and all of the tracks at crystal springs, it, as well as the other course we played that weekend at CS, were both in abysmal condition. I had encouraged friends to make the trip out because the courses are usually in good shape and I think are a fun challenge. I was absolutely embarrassed to have invited other golfers out there who were disgusted by how bad of shape the greens were in as well as some of the tee boxes/ fairways. I have not played greens this bad all season long as multiple public courses. Not nearly what I had grown to expect from crystal springs in prior years.

Don’t think I’ll be back or be inviting anyone out there until the courses are back in decent shape.

Wild Turkey is a fun course to play, but there are two areas where they need a lot of improvement:

1) Pace of play - wasn't horrendous, but it wasn't good. By the third hole there was already a back up as our group pulled up to the tee and the group in front was standing around the beverage cart and had yet to tee off despite the group in front of them already well ahead. We didn't see a ranger throughout the entire round, so it's clear that Crystal Springs/Wild Turkey does not care about enforcing pace of play.

2) Greens - they were quick, but you had to doge what seemed like hundreds of ball marks on every single green. I know they get a lot of play, but it's really a shame that they allow their course to get chewed up like that. This is on the golfers too of course, but the staff made no mention to replace/fill divots or repair ball marks on the greens.

Having played this course a number of times in the past, they always seem to be plagued by the same issues. It's worth playing, but only if you can get a price below $70 or $75. What they normally charge is frankly outrageous. This course is not worth $100. I do recommend playing it, but make sure you get a fair price and you need to expect a slow round, especially on the weekend.

FYI, they started aerating the greens behind us as we were finishing our round so I'd advise staying away for 2-3 weeks. They also have the silly permanent holes where the ball will not fall into the cup all the way, despite being outside where virus transmission is little to none and the virus not being a major problem in NJ at this time.

Very nice course, like the free range balls and chipping and putting green, nicely manicured all around. Went out as a single and paired w a great pair of guys who played from the black tees while I played from the whites. The round took under 4.5 hours. The front nine seemed much faster than the back when we caught up with the group in front of us...almost right after the snack stand. Thinking about joining but had a bad expertise on Black Bear the other day being matched up w two of the worst golfers I ever played with. Hoping. the higher end of Wild Turkey will prevent this from happening in the future. Intentionally playing in the mid AM to avoid late day or weekend crowds. Will keep yo posted...

After driving 4 hours, we arrived at the first tee a few minutes late...no issues. The course is part of a 6 course complex, and a resort. The course was in great shape, very green and well maintained. Greens were a bit thin, but we were told that was the style??? Views were breathtaking, you could see for miles through the valleys and mountains. The course itself was extremely playable and forgiving, unlike Crystal Springs. It was a risk/reward course, with lots more rewards than risks. The only downfall was the group in front of us was extremely slow, but due to COVID-19 rules, waving us through is frowned upon. Not sure they would have, seemed they were just a bunch of rude players only concerned for their game. The beverage cart was out and about all day. The staff was friendly and helpful. Booked another trip to the resort in September, and already made tee times for Wild Turkey!

This course did t allow carts in fairway. This was not disclosed on GolfNow and should have been.

The course is still in winter mode, but it was great to stretch my arms and swing freely, watch the true ball flight and not a simulator. Cart path only slowed play but amazingLy still a 4 hr 15 min round. Overall an enjoyable round.

We played in January. What more can I say?

It's great that they were open. Got a good deal. Winds were up to 30 miles for per hour another fun day!

I love this course the views the layout! However today's round was very slow {front nine} until we called the pro shop and they finally sent out a ranger on the 8th hole and the back nine was played at a good pace.This is the only course in NJ and I play a lot of golf and many different courses that as of November 1st its cart path only even though it hasn't rained in over a week causing slow pace of play!

Very scenic and well laid out with the exception of the 15th. Flakey fairway layout. Beautiful though.

I happily drive an hour and twenty minutes just to play wild Turkey! I love this golf course and the entire Crystal Springs facility.

First time playing here and it was great! Wow what a beautiful course. Amazing views everywhere and the course conditions were amazing. Pace of play was under 4 hours. 4 players too.
