If you’re looking for a challenging round, look no further than Crystal Springs Golf Club, one of New Jersey’s top golf courses. When it first opened in 1992, the course was rated among the “Top 25 New Golf Courses in America” by Golf Digest Magazine. The Jersey Golfer named it “The Best Public Golf Course” in the state. Year after year, it ranks among Golf Digest’s “Top 10 Public Golf Courses” in NJ, beating out countless other golf courses in the Garden State.
Designed in the spirit of the world’s first golf courses, Ballyowen is one of the top golf courses in New Jersey, with a spectacular links-style layout that channels the heathland style landscapes of Ireland and Scotland. Designed by Roger Rulewich, the longtime lead design associate for Hall of Fame designer Robert Trent Jones Sr., the award-winning course occupies 250 acres across a scenic plateau. Take in the tranquil atmosphere as you meander through open meadows and rolling farmland, and enjoy 360-degree views of the Wallkill Valley and Appalachian Mountains.
