There's plenty of great golf waiting for guests on Crystal Springs Golf Resort's seven courses, like the seventh hole at Wild Turkey Golf Club.

Great track!
This was my first time playing wild Turkey on a day where we played 36 holes at Crystal Springs Resorts. The track is great. Pace of play was a little slow because there alot of beginners ping ponging the ball around but it only took us 4.5 hours when we teed off at 11:50am on a Sunday.
The course was a little wet but the green were true and the fairways were well kept. For $135 (as a public player) the value is pretty good. Will def be returning in 2021.

Awesome course - horrible rotation
This course is probably one of the beat maintained courses in all of NJ.
Their downfall is that it took over 3 hours to play 9 holes, and we ran out of daylight.
Tee times were stacked 4 deep on any hole. Not joking.
And then when I asked if I could come back to play the other nine (or which I paid for) the guy said that they will not allow that.
So disappointed.
