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.Facts

Course is getting better
Compared to two weeks ago, the course had dried out well and carts on fairways
Greens still pretty bumpy after being aerated two weeks ago
Will be another 2 weeks until decent
They give you practice balls included but the ball machine was empty yet again
Slow round.. We hit off 15 minutes late and took over 5 hours
13 dollars for brat at halfway house... seems expensive to me
Part of that is just it is a hard course and too many beginner players that would have more fun at black bear

Needs TLC
The greens were aerated and they didnt mention it when I made the tee time. They should either mention it or provide a discount. The course wasnt in great shape. . There was damage on a couple of the greens and large pot holes on some of the cart paths. Some of the bunkers were under construction. Not what you would expect from a high end course.
