Crystal Springs Resort

Nowhere near worth the price. Pace of play is terribly slow, tee boxes are beat up and unlevel, greens are slow and full of ball marks and dead spots. The halfway house should be burned to the ground and replaced with a vending machine, they are working one poor old lady to the bone and it takes 20 minutes to get a burger and a drink. Whats sad is the staff knows how poor the course is but the owner wont improve the conditions.

very good for me.and l will recommand to every person who want to enjoying golf play in beautiful place!!

Carts really sucked! GPS doesn’t work. This course needs a huge signage upgrade too. We got lost several times. The layout is confusing. They have a nice restaurant/bar but we felt uncomfortable and out of place since they had most of it reserved for a wedding. Halfway house was decent though. It was relatively cheap and there were plenty of tee times available. Otherwise, not coming back.

Black Bear is a fun, challenging layout, and a great overall facility with a nice range and restaurant. On this day, we had Sam the starter who set a welcoming, positive tone . Trevor at the restaurant who was kind and attentive, and George the ranger with whom our group had THE most professional ranger conversation in my time playing golf. For once, a ranger correctly identified the source of a traffic jam ahead, addressed it, and took the extra step of coming back down the line to update each group to let us know what's up,. This majority-female group appreciated that, when other just see a woman duff one shot and yell at them. Some of them had negative experiences elsewhere, being targeted despite being on or ahead of pace, so this was very refreshing. Thank you.

…… but recent irrigation on the greens made every putt a complete adventure. Every putt including short ones all were very bumpy. Nice course and challenging.

I did not have the best experience, however, I would say overall the golf course/resort/amenities were nice. Unfortunately I played on a day after rain in the area and frankly I wish I had not played. The course was completely soaked, puddles on every tee box and fairway and there was no heads up given or discount provided. Additionally, my cart was completely shot. As I approached the starter I had mentioned I noticed an issue with the cart and he dismissed my concerns. I ended up spinning out twice going down the hill on hole 1 (pretty serious spin outs almost lost control) and then the cart died in between holes 13-14 going uphill. After the round I spoke with a manager about my experience and again she seemed to dismiss my concerns, saying they were unaware the course was not in good playing condition and the issues with my cart were probably due to my driving. Ultimately, they did provide me with a “rain check” for the value of my round, so I am appreciative of that and will be giving it another shot in the future. Did not bother to explore much else due to the frustration of this day, but pro shop was nice and the amenities appeared nice from what I saw. On a normal / dry day I do think WT would be worth playing. Just be wary.

Booked the course and dinner after. The course is challenging, hilly to say the least. The sand traps need TLC, (sand), in terrible shape. Played the 1st 9 in 2 hours. As we got to 12th hole say people ahead. Ultimately it was high school age kids running around course with 1 golf bag and 4 people. We waited patiently thinking someone would come by and throw them off. By the 14th hole I drove ahead to same something. They ran ahead and by the time we got to 15th they were out there in the middle again. Also came across 2 gentlemen that walked onto course at another hole. At least when they saw us coming, they left. The back 9 took 3 hours and 40 minutes to complete. Frustrating to say the least.

Course was fabulous!!!!

Played Crystal Springs with Son and friends

Challenging for sure

Suggest a scramble style play, unless your a low handicap golfer

Tight fairways, bring extra balls

Course in fantastic shape

Cart girls were awesome, always available

Only negative

Cart girls should carry some sort of food or snacks

Or at very least halfway house should have food

Greens were in rough shape. I play this course 3-4 times a year. I have never seen the greens and tee boxes in this rough of shape.

Even at $73 GN hot deal in the afternoon after an outing, it's the typical way overpriced Crystal Springs course. Conditions average at best. It amazes me that people plop down twice what we paid to play here. After covid, Crystal Springs prices doubled and tripled and people still seem ok with it.
