About this course
Ballyowen at Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, New Jersey, opened in 1998 and was designed by Roger Rulewich, who spent decades working for Robert Trent Jones Sr. The site was a sand and gravel operation before the course was built on it.
Rulewich built a treeless, links-style layout with fescue rough, large sweeping bunkers and open sightlines across the whole property. Wind is the main defense, the fairways are wide, and the greens are large enough that a long approach can leave a very long putt.
A bagpiper plays on the property during the season, and the course is open to public and resort play as part of the Crystal Springs group of courses.
