Berkshire Valley Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Berkshire Valley has a scenic location in the Highlands region of northern New Jersey. It is known as one of best public golf courses in the area. The course is perched atop the ridge of Green Pond Mountain, providing a dramatic topography for a challenging round of golf. The front of the golf course was carefully carved from a hillside, featuring narrow fairways that place a premium on accuracy. The first five holes are particularly scenic as well as formidable. There are some open holes that play along the cliffs, subjecting them to the prevailing winds, one of these is the intimidating par-5 third. The Berkshire Valley golf course finishes with its signature hole. This hole can be deceiving since it has a generous fairway, but the second shot is uphill to a tough green.

Course in the heat
Played in hottest round ever , Some greens were little rough but weather been crazy hot, besides that little slow but overall if you get right price this is a beautiful set up and great test in golf ,
Nice course but way too slow.
First time playing here. Nice layout, conditions good, staff friendly. But we left after 4 1/2 hrs and 12 holes. If there was a ranger who would push the pace of play I'd recommend this course.
This course is amazing!
The course was great and the staff was very professional.
Incredible views
Amazing views... Great layout. Greens in terrific shape. One of the best public courses around
Beautiful layout
Some of the best views in New Jersey a great golf course worth every penny
A Fun Course!
The Berk, as I like to call it, always puts up a good fight. Even during the busy (and hot) summer months, the course superintendent maintains a satisfyingly playable surface — from T to green.
Nice course, but soooo slow
This place is on a beautiful piece of land with terrific views. The course is in good shape with a great layout and greens. However, we averaged almost 18 minutes a hole and waited on every single shot. When we pulled up to the 14th tee, there was already a group there waiting for the tee box to clear. The group on the tee was waiting for the fairway to clear, and that group was waiting for the green to clear. So five foursomes were on one hole. At that point I decided to call it a day and head in. On my way to the cart return, I passed some amazing looking holes that I would love to play. If they would space the tee times out a bit, I would love to come back.
Always slow!!!!!
Even on a Wednesday at 9:30 it was a 4 hour and 50 minute round. No rangers on the course to help. Decided to try it again after 3 years thinking maybe it would move. My bad. Fun course but dreadfully slow.
Berkshire
I don’t know what they did to this course but it’s not the same anymore.
Extremely pleased for the value
Berkshire Valley is a challenging course that's in excellent shape. I've certainly played hundreds of courses throughout the Lower Hudson Valley, NJ, and LI and this is definitely one of my favorites. Staff is great!
My only bone to pick is the pace of play. The two groups in front of us were extremely slow to the tune of being 3 holes behind by the time we got to hole 16. Unfortunately, we did not see any Rangers all day to help the pace of play. It was extreme. I get that this happens from time to time, but Rangers would have helped also.
