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

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.

On Par
This was my 3rd time around playing the course over the span of two years and this is one of my favorite courses to play in NJ. Course was in great shape and staff was really friendly. The part I love the most is the BBQ Pit at the turn! What a beast. Great outing here and the greens were in great condition too!

Our game was delayed because the course had FOOTGOLF allowed at same time as we were golfing
a total mess with people running across the course kicking a soccer ball
It should have been noted on the listing when we booked that this type of golf was allowed on this course
Probably will never play this course again

Slow pace, poor quality greens, staff non existent
Had to ride through three groups of people (one group of 6 which was inexplicable). There was no one on the course managing pace of play. Greens were aerated and a mess.

Okay
Greens are in rough shape. No beverage cart while playing. Nothing but a few snacks offered in the office. It’s ok if you don’t want to worry about getting a tee time, and just want to get some practice hitting the ball.
