Challenging
Crystal Springs is a challenging course. The uneven lies will test your skills and patience. There was an aeration notice, and they did discount our round. But the aeration is pretty bad, very sandy so I'd suggest giving it a little time to settle.
Does Wild Turkey ever rake ots bunkers
I understand that aeration had taken place; however, bunkers looked like they hadn't been raked in weeks. Hard surface with dried impressions from water streams. Maybe WT has an employment issue. Not a good excuse at those prices. Had always loved WT previously. Will not be back anytime soon.
Awesome course
5 star course very challenging and difficult
5:30 hrs round
When you paid close to a $100 a round, I expected the round to be finished within 4:30hrs. It is close to 5:15th round and it is completely unacceptable.. We have to wait at every shot for every hole. We will never go back. It is faster playing in a local town course with half the price and will definitely finish within 5 hrs top.
The Best Public Course in New Jersey!
The Par 3 11th is epic! The course is extremely challenging, and every round on a course like this makes you a better golfer! Great experience and looking forward to playing Crystal Springs again!
Tooo slow
We have no problem with waiting but no ranger visible to push pace.
Added an extra 45-60 mins for 9 holes.
Greens full of Divots and Rocks in the bunkers
The overall condition of your greens is unacceptable! The divots were to put it mildly, a major reason why our game was so far off yesterday. Our group repaired them constantly. Now for your rocks in the bunkers , no sand in them because there isn't any! No ranger to complain about the slow pace? We told the group in front of us that it's called ready golf! It was not a fun day for anyone in our group. This really is a beautiful course but sadly it needs a lot of loving care!!!!
What a waste of a great course layout!
This is one of my favorite courses and it’s sad to see how little is done to maintain the course. So many divots and ball marks all over the place. Nothing provided on the carts to fill divots. Bunkers are in horrible shape. For the price charged for a round, it’s very sad that none of that is being used to maintain the course. I won’t be going back anytime soon until I hear the course is in better shape.
Brutal pace of play
This course is great but it is a little on the expensive side so I don’t understand why they allow a turtles pace of play if you are going to charge premium price you have to move people along
Greens were very beat up
9th hole
The ninth fairway is blocked by hanging trees branches. It is only a 80 yard shot to the green. Though, you can not just hit a straight as there is a elevation difference. You need to pray you hit it through the branches and onto the green. Needs to be fixed. Bunkers are not a traditional bunker. Hard sand, never play them.
3 hrs to get through 11 holes with no Marshall’s in site to keep up pace of play. Was tempted to walk off the course but no easy way to get back to clubhouse from back of course. Course was nice but pace of play just ruined what should have been a great round.
