Crystal Clear choice
Challenging but a great course with amazing views. We had an issue with the cart but seems like a one off. Highly recommended l
Great course…and great meal afterwards.
Beautiful course was in great condition and fun to play. Not too difficult and very fair. Got an unlucky draw with the two other players they paired us with for our foursome but it could have been much worse I suppose. They were nice enough & weren’t bad golfers but their pace of play was intolerable. They literally took an additional 1-2 minutes for each shot once they addressed the ball, just from aligning, practice swings, and what seemed to be meditation for crissakes. Can’t help getting a big whiff of entitlement from the players at Crystal Springs and it can be a very odd mix of nouveau riche and NYC area trash, but I did like the course and god bless the starter, I don’t know how he does it, lol.
Be sure to grab lunch or dinner at The Chef’s Garden after your round. Much better than a $15 hot dog from the turn station.
tee boxes
tee boxes need to reseed, bad shape. gps in cart won't work unless you give name, number and email then after all that it still wouldn't work. frustrating when you pay 110 dollars for a round of golf at crystal springs
Tee boxes need work
GPS doesn't work in the cart unless you give all your info, then it still didn't work. Tee boxes need a lot of work.
Wonderful Experience - Chuck (Starter) is great!
What a great track. Well kept, interesting holes, challenging but not as hard as crystal springs, I enjoyed all of it. Chuck the starter was great! Gave some great insights and was very friendly. Great way to start the round.
Challenging course
Crystal Springs Golf Course is a beautiful course, hilly terrain so important to stay in the fairway. Hole#11 is interesting,fun and challenging. You should give it a try.
Blackbear at Crystal Springs
Very nice course,very nice atmosphere. Not over challenging. One issue was the greens. But the greens were extremely slow..
Amazing but challenging course
This was the highlight play of the year. The course is amazing but quite challenging. The views and course atmosphere are incredible. Booking again very soon.
Great Sunday
We had a 4-some, 7:20am tee time. We were able to start right away, there was a little bit of a wait throughout the round, but it went smoothly. Course was in great condition.
Nice course and staff
Played Black Bear this past week after the rain. Course remains in great shape as per usual. Greens are the best of any course around. Some newly renovated bunkers really stand out. Staff was very friendly and accommodating of my late group due to traffic. Starter gave a good rundown of the course prior to going out.
Always great
Great place . Greens a little shaggy but it was a Monday and they held and outing in the morning during a heat wave so completely understandable . I’ve been golfing at the resort since 2010 and never had a bad experience with staff of course .
