About Crystal Springs Resort

Crystal Springs Resort is a 4,000-acre playground located only an hour across the New Jersey state line from New York City. It is one of the country’s largest golf resorts with six courses - Ballyowen, Black Bear, Cascades, Crystal Springs, Minerals and Wild Turkey – and three driving ranges. The Grand Cascades Lodge houses 220 guest rooms with an inspired welcome: An outdoor putting course leading to an indoor lobby with high ceilings, wood beams and a stone fireplace. Both it and the 175-room Minerals Hotel feature their own spas and pools. Children will love the Biosphere, an indoor pool complex with an aquarium, vortex pool and caves, 140-foot waterslide and café, all in a tropical theme. Twelve restaurants are spread out among the course clubhouses and hotels, delivering a variety of menus and price points. Between the Mineral Sports Club and Adventure Center, there’s always a new activity or program to enjoy.

Great golf course but not always @100%

Course is great but not always up to par. Last time we played we had a cart die on 4th hole and had to wait for

Someone to bring out an another. This time out the range was closed for the first part of the morning

Beautiful layout. Scruffy tee boxes

Course gets a lot of play. It’s a little expensive. And the tee boxes are scruffy- divots and uneven. High grass on the tee. Mediocre conditions -Especially given the price. Staff is great though and the views are worth seeing

Carts seemed slow

Golf carts seemed slow and struggled to get around the course especially when a hill was involved which happens quite often.

Course is Challenging

From check in to on site amenities, this was a course that raised the required skill level needed…We were very satisfied with the experience and our dinner at the Crystal Tavern..

Difficulty

Crystal course is a difficut one but I'm an amature player that just started 2 years ago. I would play it when I get better. If you are looking for a challenge then this should get you in the right direction. Thank you Crystal Springs very enjoyable.

Pace of play

Pace of play on the front 9 was the worst and slowest I’ve ever experienced in my 20 years of golf.

Absurd price hike

Used to love coming up here to play several times a year. For whatever reason other than sheer greed, they went from $80-90 to $127. Absolutely disgusting. Its not a special course at all. Stop price gauging.
