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.

Challenging yet appropriate for all skill levels

My only complaint about the course was the condition of the greens. They were sandy, full of ball marks and annoyingly slow. Someone actually chipped off the 17th green and left divots! Other than that, we had a great round. Shout out to the super friendly, professional cart girl.

Comfortable golf course

I always enjoy a round at Black Bear. It has a good mix of difficult holes and not so difficult. Staff is very friendly and there are very good amenities; practice range and putting green, bar and restaurant, and refreshment carts.

스크틀랜드와 한국 골프장이 합쳐진 골프장

페어웨이에 언더레이션이 정말 좋은 골프장!!!

벙커만 조금 관리를 더 해야 할것 같아요~

PACE OF PLAY

SLOW AF. It was nearly a 5 hour round. We spoke with a few staff but they didn't seem bothered. It's probably business as usual for these courses that do 8 minute or less intervals.
