Berkshire Valley Golf Course

In short, beautiful views, superb layout, very fair difficulty wise, just a great experience with the exception of cart path only and the 5 hour round. Can’t wait to play here again though.

We were blown away with how much we loved this course. We typically play Bergen County courses and had no idea this was considered a Morris County course. The course itself if really well maintained and challenging, but fun. The view is simply stunning.

Pace of play wasn’t great, but attribute that to the frost delay and them making it cart-path-only for the day. If we didn’t have to stick to the path, we would’ve finished the round in a normal 4 hours or so. We started on the back 9, and my only complaint was that as we were teeing off on the 17th hole, we could see the same group up the hill on hole 1 taking multiple tee shots each. We were able to finish our round before sunset and I firmly believe that if they had a ranger managing that part better, we would’ve finished in time. However, it’s the end of the season and they seemed a little short-staffed, so stuff happens. Also, the driving range is pretty beat up and the ball dispenser didn’t work. The started (who was already very overwhelmed just checking people in) had to leave his post to try and help us, and couldn’t fix it, but was able to give us a couple of loose balls to hit. Again, stuff happens, so no biggie.

Overall, we loved this course. Everyone was really nice, including the young man in the pro shop and the young lady at the snack bar. I probably sound crazy, but I would say that this course rivals a course like Ballyowen as far as quality and the scenic view you get, and it was a great price. We look forward to playing there much more next season!

Great course in great condition. Friendly staff. Cold day.

Super slow at 4 hrs 45 minutes.

Great layout and just all around beautiful area and course.....greens are well kept but a little slow considering how difficult the rest of the course is with the mountainous and hilly terrain. Unfortunately there is an incredible amount of unfilled divots and gouges in the fairway landing areas, maybe a lot of novice golfers come to play due to the beauty of the course..... I played at 1pm , a twosome, and I heard the starter say to someone " I have 3 twosomes in a row." That will give you an idea how they treat the customers. Did not pair us up, let us wait.......The CRAZIEST thing was that on October 12, the day I played almost EVERY FLAG was tucked into the extreme back right corner ( maybe a couple in the left back corner ) of the green. Unbelievable.....I hope management reads this and explains why......The greens are about 1.5 times or so larger than most courses, and all of the tucked back pins made the course much more difficult . I have never seen anything like that in 25 years of playing golf.

Unique design. Not friendly to older riders when cart path only is in effect.Greens were slow and sandy. Given the recent rains and soft conditions this was not unusual. Perhaps a discount on the greens fee because of the

conditions should have been considered.

Great course, beautifully kept. Just beautiful backdrop as well. Definitely worth the drive and $!

Beautiful and well maintained. Berkshire Valley is a challenging test.

Course as always a challenge from the blue tees. Very good tee boxes/fairways. Greens are in the worst shape I remember in 10 years. Majority of players are not repairing ball marks. Still a definite must play and a great value even for out of county players!
