they post specials on the day the course is supposed to be aerated - typical practice for Crystal resort - always double check
As expected . . .
While this is not my favorite ourse at Crystal Springs you have to take what ypu can especially when expecting rain during the course of play . . . It did rain during the last three holes but the course was able to handle it with no issues . . . It was in excellent shape and the greens were challenging. You really can't go wrong playing golf at Crystal Springs always a solid round no matter what time of year.
Pace slow
Pace slow late afternoon, no rangers. Players do not take care of the greens. They were rough. Unacceptable for the price they charge.
Black Bear
The course has a beautiful layout, with nice views to shape your shots. Would recommend this course to every player
Not worth any bit of the $$$
$100+ for un-level tee boxes, $15.00 turn dogs and the slowest play in Northern New Jersey. The greens were both fast and slow. Soft and hard and zero consistency. Not to mention, when teeing off the grounds team and the cart girl sat idling behind the flag on a par 3 over water. Super distracting.
First round on BB this season
Had a great time eith friends. Greens were excellent. Holes cut well. Speed was fast. Course was a little damp but not there fault. Rough was long and at times punishing. Some sand traps had hard and not enough sand. It icluded rocks. Had a twosome in front of us, not fun. The bar and staff were excellent. Will play again in the fall.
Course good issue with carts
Course is very nice. In good shape. Problem was our cart stopped working intermittently. We used the cart screen to request a replacement twice nothing. Called and explained issue. Nothing. Final after using second cart to push one a range came along and said they are out of carts. After pushing for 6 holes someone final brings a replacement cart. They need more carts.
Great course but expensive
I just wish the ads they started showing in the carts reduced the cost of the round.
Great challenge for the average golfer
Awesome layout with challenging holes. Need to play smart and can't spray the ball or it's gone. Every hole is unique. Some great views as well, especially one of the par 3s on the back. Will play again
Too slow
Nobody manages the pace of play…. Too slow to finishi whithin 5.5 hours…
I started 1st tee off at 12:30pm, and… finished 9th hole at 3:30pm. After 9th hole, I waited about 10minutes more on the tee box. So disappointed about this course….. Please manage the pace of play as normal…
Wild Turkey
Not the first time I’ve played the course. It was in kind of soggy shape due to a good amount of rain recently. I’ve always enjoyed playing this course so that didn’t really bother us too much. The biggest issue was there was just way way too many people out there. It was over five hours to play the round and combined with the condition the course was in, the price was a bit high. I think they need to look into not booking as many rounds on top of each other as they appear to do and at least did yesterday. It makes it a frustrating day. It’s not a whole lot of fun having to sit and wait for every shot.
The staff was quite nice as always. They try to make your day as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.
Nice Layout
hard course with a nice layout. Tee boxes and Greens were not in great condition for the price of a round. Slow pace of play.
