Ballyowen Golf Club — Crystal Springs

Ballyowen Golf Club at Crystal Springs Resort is New Jersey's top-rated golf course — 250 sprawling acres of rolling farmland, craggy knolls, plunging limestone quarries, and tall wheat-yellow native grasses that evoke the windswept heathland of Ireland. It is the most distinctive property in the Crystal Springs collection: intimate, atmospheric, and completely unlike any ballroom wedding you've ever attended.

The Bailigh Bluff House is Ballyowen's reception venue — a magnificent stone pavilion decorated in dark woods, featuring a soaring cathedral ceiling, a circular bar, and a large stone fireplace offering kaleidoscopic mountain views and breathtaking sunsets. It accommodates up to 150 guests in a space that feels at once grand and deeply personal. Owen's Pub — with its indoor and outdoor terraces and extensive collection of scotch — rounds out the Celtic atmosphere perfectly.

Ballyowen was exactly what we wanted — we did not want the grand white ballroom style. The views during cocktail hour were jaw-dropping. The reception space is intimate and beautiful. Our guests are still raving about the food. We would choose Ballyowen over and over.
