In Concert with Golf Industry’s New ‘Time for Nine’ Initiative, Expands Nine-Hole Options to 45 Additional Holes
(HAMBURG, N.J.) – Crystal Springs Resort – home to seven distinct golf courses just one hour from New York City – has expanded nine-hole rates to its Black Bear and Great Gorge courses.
Coinciding with the new “Time for Nine” initiative endorsed by the USGA, PGA of America and Golf Digest, 18-hole Black Bear and 27-hole Great Gorge Golf Club are offering nine-hole rates for the first time. They join the nine-hole Minerals (opened in 1987) and Cascades (opened in 2009) courses to add even more variety to the resort’s golf programming.
The expansion highlights the scheduling flexibility afforded by nine-hole play. Great Gorge takes this benefit a step further, as nine-hole rounds are available all day Monday through Friday and on weekends after 2 p.m. Greens fees at Black Bear and Great Gorge range from $15 to $35.
“Nine-hole rates at both Black Bear and Great Gorge are another example of how serious we are about making golf a better fit with today’s increasingly hectic pace of life,” says Art Walton, Vice President of Golf Operations at Crystal Springs Resort. “Like the game’s ruling bodies and influential golf media, we realize free time is scarce and blocking out a few hours to play nine can be a practical alternative to 18 holes for seasoned golfers, families and novices.”
Nestled in the Kittatinny Mountains of northern New Jersey, Crystal Springs is a golf playground for all ages and abilities. Its 117 holes are exceptionally diverse:
* Ballyowen – Irish links-style layout rated state’s No. 2 public golf course by Golfweek
* Black Bear – Inviting mix of tumbling terrain and risk / reward options for players of all abilities
* Cascades – Newest addition stresses playability and features junior tees (nine holes)
* Crystal Springs – Ranked “Top 50 Toughest Course in America” by Golf Digest
* Great Gorge – Vintage 70’s golf on the legendary Playboy course (27 holes)
* Minerals – Family golf at “Top 12 Short Course” in America by Golf Range Magazine (nine holes)
* Wild Turkey – Spectacular resort course with world-class amenities and vistas
Crystal Springs is a nationally-recognized leader in golf innovation and growing-the-game initiatives. They include family golf on Cascades and Minerals featuring four-person carts and two holes cut on each green (one eight inches in diameter); a “Fast Track” program that guarantees golfers finish in less than four hours; a pay-per-hole playing option; “Swing N Sip for Ladies” and more.
