Indulge at mountain retreat with golf at top-ranked layout, eight-course wine-pairing dinner, couples’ 100-minute spa treatment
(HAMBURG, N.J.) – Crystal Springs Resort – home to seven distinct golf courses just one hour from New York City – announces its “Five-Star Experience” golf and stay package.
Perfect for couples seeking a convenient, luxurious overnight escape, it features:
• Golf at Ballyowen, a links-style course recently rated No. 1 in the state by New Jersey Monthly
• Eight-course wine-paring dinner at four-star Restaurant Latour
• 100-minute “Chardonnay, Nectar & Honey Couples’ Treatment” at award-winning Reflections Spa

“The ‘Five-Star Experience’ is ideal for sampling our top-shelf amenities,” says Art Walton, Vice President of Golf Operations at Crystal Springs Resort. “Easily accessible to millions of East Coast residents, we’re uniquely positioned to cater to avid golfers, wine lovers, foodies and spa goers.”
Opened in 1998, Ballyowen was masterfully sculpted by renowned golf course architect, Roger Rulewich. Situated on 250 sprawling acres atop a plateau overlooking the Wallkill River, it is surrounded by rolling farmland and craggy knolls. Virtually treeless, Ballyowen pays homage to golf’s Scottish and Irish roots.
Restaurant Latour showcases locally grown produce, artisan cheeses and breads, meat and fish from the Hudson and Delaware Valleys, as well as organic rack of mountain lamb from Colorado. Chef de Cuisine John Benjamin employs only the freshest ingredients to create splendid, innovative recipes blending techniques and flavors from around the world. Annually bestowed Wine Spectator’s Grand Award since 2006, Restaurant Latour’s 135,000-bottle cellar holds an unparalleled 200 wines that have received perfect 100-point scores.
The anti-aging Chardonnay, Nectar & Honey Couples’ Treatment is a favorite at Reflections Spa. A warm sugar and Manuka Honey scrub polishes dull, dry skin off arms, hands and feet, while the Chardonnay grape seed oil, full-body massage nourishes the skin and delivers powerful antioxidants while easing tension and sore muscles. A body hydrator is applied after the Nectar Douceur shower to place the entire body in a relaxed state, and make skin baby-soft.
Available Thursdays through Sundays, the “Five-Star Experience” starts at $1,332 per couple (based on double occupancy). Gratuity for the dinner and spa treatments is not included in the package price.
