Reviews
Same nine plus, run down and slow play
When we got there they had no carts avail, so it was disappointing to say the least. We had to wait. They did not plan well because there was a long wait time between holes when we replayed the same nine.
Will never play here again, go somewhere else.
Beautiful morning!!!
Putters beware
Course in beautiful setting. Good amenities and in good shape-except the greens.
Staff said aerated 2 wks ago and due to weather still poke-a-dot greens. Enjoy the views and a amenities just don't count your putts!
I am satisfied with everything.
Although it was my first time at a golf course, I returned satisfied with the kindness of the staff and the beauty of the course.
Great place to play
We had a perfect day to play. Great course with a challenging layout. Only down fall were the air rated greens.
Bad Experience.
Staff were very unfriendly. Young kids running the carts werent able to answer any questions regarding the range and acted like they didn't want to be working.
Pace of play was awful. Multiple groups complained to the starter only for him to continue to tell us every time the pace of play would improve... it didnt. 5.5 hour round.
Will not be coming back.
Very run down
Course was run diwn ! Grass clippings everywhere roughbwas way to long and deep ! Horribble sand everwhere around tee bixes and greebs ! Really disappointed

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.
