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

Great course
Great course in great shape, played well. Only issue was swarming ladybugs on a few holes.
Frost delay
There was a 2hour frost delay because they book tee times at 7:00 knowing there is a very good chance for a frost delay causing 5-5 1/2 hr rounds!
READ THE FINE PRINT
If you book this course through Golfnow don't forget to read the fine print. That's the hidden print you will not see (unless you click on the little "i") which tells you there is an extra $3.00 charge booking through Golfjnow. And, the $3.00 will not appear in your Golfnow reservation email. Now, if you go over to "tee off dot com" they clearly show and tell you about the funky "$3.00 Resort Fee". What do you get for the $3.00? No clue. Parking is terrible, can never find a seat at the bar. The food at the restaurant is overpriced rubbish.
Been playing this course for 30 years. I love the challenge. However, be prepared because there are not enough rest areas if you have to use a bathroom. Chances are you won't' need too because the beverage cart seldom comes around. And, if the cart does come around its will surprise you, literally, just as you are ready to swing on the T box or sink a putt.
The staff driving around seldom has etiquette.
And, if you are playing this week, the greens were drilled and sanded.
Yeah, they 'teed me" off this week. lol.
Pace of play
Very great course; however, pace of play is very slow. Five hours!
DISAPPOINTED
Course had only 9 holes. Had tp play twice and wasn't documented that way. Sprinklers on in fairways. Called pro shop to turn off. They didn't.
Highly recommend
The course was in immaculate condition. I highly recommend you play this course. The staff was great and they were out on the course to make sure you kept up the pace of play
Love the. Purse
I’ve played here a few times this year. The staff is always professional and the. Purse in great shape.
Wide landing areas, true greens
Very scenic and well laid out with the exception of the 15th. Flakey fairway layout. Beautiful though.
Must play
Everyone is afraid of playing this course because they think it’ll be too hard. Yeah you might lose 2-3 balls but it is a lot of fun to play and it’s very well kept.
Fun Golf experience
I happily drive an hour and twenty minutes just to play wild Turkey! I love this golf course and the entire Crystal Springs facility.
Fantastic course!
First time playing here and it was great! Wow what a beautiful course. Amazing views everywhere and the course conditions were amazing. Pace of play was under 4 hours. 4 players too.
Great nine holer
Don’t be fooled this is a big boys course. Challenging shots on every hole. Elevation changes. Great combo of long short and medium sized holes. Big green complexes and plenty of hazzards to avoid. I actually like the idea that you go around twice and get a second chance to master the challenges the course presents.
Great course
We played during aeration time so greens were covered in sand. Otherwise a very nice course to play. Challenging. Staff friendly.
