Wild Turkey Golf Club

About
Wild Turkey Golf Club is one of New Jersey's top public courses. It is part of the Crystal Springs Resort, which offers six other courses including the popular Ballyowen and Crystal Springs golf courses. Wild Turkey combines characteristics from both. The layout has a unique design inspired by the interesting topography, which is most aptly described as "basin and ridge." The "basin" of the course is a wide-open expanse that offers plenty of room while the holes that play along the "ridge" of the golf course tumble across a variety of elevation changes. Due to the dramatic undulations of the terrain, it's a tough golf course to walk. Wild Turkey Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 seventh. This tricky hole calls for a demanding carry over a quarry lake in order to reach the well protected green.

Sunny day but all of sudden chilly air
It was good time to come back this beautiful golf course.
It was beginning of the season, so greens were so slow and fairways were still golden grass was everywhere.
I still couldn’t believe they charged tremendous money for golfing but I had to share the golf cart with a person whom I met at the course.
I will better look other golf courses for reasonable price.
Even though I booked to pay less money on Tee off, but I don’t want to come back here alone.
After 9 holes it was heavy rain, I asked to get the rain check at the pro shop. They asked me to do on Web for rain check. Thankfully, Tee off gave me some credit for rain check.
Hopefully they cut down the golf fee in the future, so I am eager to come this course more often.
Really expensive
The course is fine and enjoyable but boy is it overpriced now. I paid $110 in 2024 and it looks like the current rates are close to $200. I would never play here for anything over $120. It’s so far away in the middle of nowhere, that plus the high greens fee make this a pass going forward unless the prices come back to earth. There are so many other courses in jersey for less with equal quality golf if not better.
Happy New Year!
Finally able to get out after some late December snow. Thought for sure there would be a frost delay but it turned out fine. Sent out with another friendly golfer and we had a great time. Temps warmed up and we moved pretty quickly - finished in slightly under 4 hrs. Conditions were fine for late December. A bit wet on the course (cart path only) and the greens were fuzzy and slow - to be expected. Overall I had a great time.
Coarse closed due to weather and I didn't get a refund
Poor Service and slow play
Bag drop guy was rude and completely unhelpful....
One of the carts for our foursome had a GPS that didn't work at all; the other had one that worked for the first 5 holes then crapped out...
The group in front of us was a threesome to start and after 13 holes turned into a twosome. Even with them being a threesome and then a twosome, we waited on EVERY SINGLE TEE BOX except 18. On multiple tee boxes we were waiting with the group in front of use while the group behind us was rolling up to us. The round took just under 5 hours, on a MONDAY.
The course layout is gorgeous and fun and was in decent shape. Other than that, everything about the experience was bad.
Overpriced
Overpriced relative to deteriorated conditions. Great layout that has gotten worse in the last 1-2 years. Bunkers were mostly poor with rocks. Tee boxes somewhat beat up. Fairways also in mediocre conditions. Greens generally were in OK condition.
Way overpriced for mediocre conditions especially on weekend. Unless you can find a discounted price NOT worth the price. Very disappointing for what used to be a must play course.
Wild Turkey
Greens in Fairway really hacked up many divots and ball marks not repaired
