Crystal Springs Golf Club

First time at this course, but played other Crystal Springs courses before. By far the more difficult course there. Incredibly beautiful and in good condition. Pace of play a little slow as course was difficult in spots, but fun to play. I would return.

One of the hardest tracks I ever played. Course especially from the tips plays very long. A number of the holes have force carry over water and other hazardeous areas. Most greens not only have elevation changes but have surrounded bunkers as well. Fairways are not only extremely narrow, they mostly contain moguls as well. Hitting good tee shots in the fairway ending up with a 2nd shot with the ball close to your knees or way below seems like unfair punishment for hitting good shots. Be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag. Low handicap players will definitely enjoy the challenge this track has to offer. Mid to high handicappers should know what they are getting themselves into and bring extra sleeves of balls.

Greens were yet but still in awesome conditions.

First, this isn't a long course. I played the blue and only took out driver a hand full of times and still had a short iron or wedge into most greens. Course was in good shape. A couple tee boxes were being repaired, but they seemed to have plenty of extra so not a big deal.

If you're playing here for the first time, have a good app or a range finder. Plenty of tee shots require placement over bombing it, and you can get into trouble by going long unless you know where to aim.

Not sure about the slow greens comment. With the amount of slop on some of the greens I don't think they could be made much faster... else many hole locations would be impossible.

Try the 'Waffle & Wings' at the bar/lounge after the round. I only wish this course was closer to my home.

The course is in excellent condition the green is a bit slow and the pace of play is even slower

Nice course but can give you some tough lies

Excellent course, fantastic shape, tough as heckl. Love it.

Crystal Springs remains one of my favorites courses to play. It requires good shot making and course management. It is not a bombers course. The only downside was the tee boxes as they were inconsistent with a lot of weed build up. The rest of the course is impeccable. I highly recommend this course and will definitely continue to play here.

Being from Houston, I've played quite a few Robert von Hagge-designed golf courses, but this may his toughest. It's certainly the most difficult at Crystal Springs. The original course at Crystal Springs, which is about an hour from New York City, is the tightest of the four championship courses at the resort -- by far. With white stakes on most of the holes, you have to be very accurate off the tee and the approaches are even tougher. Fairways are pretty narrow and often sloped, which makes them difficult to hold. With that said, it's a very good test of golf, though I feel like some of the holes are pinched in by the homes. It's my least favorite of the courses at Crystal Springs because of the difficulty, but it's certainly interesting. Play it if you think you have the game, but if you spray the ball a little, you're better off with the other three courses at Crystal Springs.

the scenic views where great the fairways where in excellent shape better then some nice courses ive played in Fla. i will be back

I been dying to play one of these resort courses for some time. Finally I got the price I wanted through Golf Now so off we went. Took about 1 hr and 10 minutes to get there but, besides the windy cool weather conditions me and my son had a great day of golf. Course was in very good shape. Greens were a little brown, but this time of year that's to be expected.
Greens were faster than I'm used to but all around I putted very well on them. Definitely worth the trip and the money we paid, can't wait to go back when weather gets better.

Excellent course fun to play ..

Anytime you can play golf at the end of December in this area of the country is a holiday miracle! With ski mountains right down the road I'm sure the area would prefer to have a "true" winter playground this time of year, but I was happy to join others on the golf course. Haven't played this course in many years and it did not disappoint. Thanks for the friendly greeting, the wonderful starter that juggled the many winter golfers on multiple courses, and the last weekend golf of 2015. Happy New Year Golf Now and my fellow golfers!

Everything was perfect but I got to walk on fairway getting off a cart because they had to maintain fairway. That was only auwful moment to play. It was totally different view of golf course shape than summer season. I'd like recomand every revel of player to play this season at this course.

Everything was extra nice. Challenging and picturesque. Will definitely return.

5 1/2 hours to play round is way to long. We never saw a ranger the whole day? Course tough but good....

This is the third time Crystal Springs resorts while booking never mentioned the greens were aerated . Their was more sand on the green than down the jersey shore. Don't care but paying top dollar for a 75$ course at best and not mentioning they aerated the green is what I've learn to expect from Crystal Springs

Early round was played in fog; tough going.
DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE FIRST TIME BY YOURSELF. Carts must cross busy streets and signage is VERY poor. Cart boy does not clean windshield (even after tip) and starter gives NO info/help on cart navigation. Course is challenging to weird. In places it's cut into a quarry, so expect the unexpected. Why the bumps? Are they covering giant rocks that could not be blasted? In a video game they might be fun, but in reality they don't belong. Cut them down, make collecting fairways, and you''ll have a much more enjoyable course. Finally, check with your lawyer regarding liability if your ball injures property/people. The houses are so close to the fairways that you should be able to text home owners a 'fore' before you hit, just in case.

Course was in very good shape. Pace of play for a holiday weekend was decent.

Beautiful course. Great condition. Some spectacular holes.
