Rating 73.2

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.

Well Maintained Ridiculous greens

The course is beautiful and one of the best maintained. The greens were meticulous. However, the pin placements were near impossible. I am a 12 handicap, I three putt 6 times, 3 of those times were from under 5 foot where the ball rolled 10 foot past the hole. It was a running joke in our group. One hole the ball rolled upto the hole stopped and rolled back. That should never happen. This will prevent me from coming back.

Shhhh….

Don’t want to do this but I feel I owe it to the course. First time on the course on the day after an inch of rain and the greens were perfect. Nothing flat, ups and downs, and challenging. 16 par 3 is ridiculous, have to hit 6 with draw over the water at the pin to get it on the green, when you’re hitting fatigue. Some other challenging holes. Layout takes full advantage of the topography and the natural beauty. Enjoy!

Great course at a great price

Grass in tee boxes is used up given seems like many holes people use irons off the tee. Otherwise this is A+ and highly recommended

Relaxing Night of Golf

Nice greens, quiet mid-week golf. We teamed up with another pair of golfers. The course is a bit tight which makes it challenging. Close and convenient for us!

Nice course getting abused

This used to be one of my favorite courses.

Apparently it's had one too many rounds played on lately.

Way too many divots and burned spots.

The course needs fewer rounds played on it to recover.
