HAMBURG, N.J., June 5, 2012 – By helping thousands of charity organizations raise millions of dollars with successful golf tournaments over the years, Crystal Springs Resort has the established reputation as New Jersey’s premier venue for golf fundraisers and charity golf events.
Not only does Crystal Springs offer 117 holes of championship golf on seven award-winning courses, its golf staff is expertly trained and experienced at coordinating group events. To further extend that assistance, Crystal Springs has created a helpful checklist for event planners, “How to Plan a Successful Golf Outing” available at the resort’s website page devoted to special group outings.
Also this season, in appreciation of those who choose Crystal Springs for their event, any individual who refers a 2012 or 2013 outing with a minimum of 80 players before Aug. 1, 2012 will be rewarded with free golf for the remainder of 2012. For more details about the rewards system, contact the staff at 973/827-4357 or at golfoutings@crystalgolfresort.com
Crystal Springs is attractive for golf fundraisers for a variety of reasons:
Golf Options: Ballyowen, Black Bear, Cascades, Crystal Springs, Great Gorge, Minerals and Wild Turkey appeal to the full spectrum of golfers and their abilities
Player Capacity: Choice of 16- to 360-player fields
Staff Support: An on-site team of PGA event coordinators
Golf School: The World’s No. 1 Golf Instructor, David Leadbetter, and The David Leadbetter Golf Academy make Crystal Springs their northeast headquarters
Cuisine: 16 catering venues and restaurants, including Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning Restaurant Latour, with its world-renowned 135,000+ bottle wine cellar
Accommodations: Three spectacular hotels (the luxurious Adirondack-style Grand Cascades Lodge, recreation-rich Minerals Hotel or convenient slope-side Appalachian Hotel)
Relaxation Escapes: Two pampering, luxury spas – Reflections Spa and Elements Spa (each ranked among the top 30 spas in America)
Among the Crystal Springs golf collection, Ballyowen, the resort’s premier course, has been named the No. 1 public golf course in New Jersey and one of the Top 50 in the U.S. by GolfWeek. This masterful design by Roger Rulewich is reminiscent of a true Scottish links course. Wild Turkey, a second Rulewich creation and sister course to Ballyowen, best described as a “basin and ridge” design, is a true challenge for the more experienced golfer. Family-friendly Minerals Golf Course is known as the best nine-hole course in the region, with superbly conditioned bentgrass fairways, two pin placements per hole and a wonderful array of amenities.
And for non-golfers in the group, Crystal Springs offers a variety of activities through its “Country Club Experience”. Options include an escape to the tropics in the Biosphere Pool Complex, or Vista 180° Pool; taking a slide down the mountain at Mountain Creek Water Park; relax and rejuvenate with an award-winning spa treatment; or schedule a tour of the Wine Cellar.
Crystal Springs Resort is conveniently located just one hour from New York City and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). It’s also easily accessible from LaGuardia and JFK, as well as by numerous private aviation facilities.
