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.

Slow play

Course was in great shape. Greens a little slow but well maintained. Should not take 5 hours to play a round with a cart and without cart path only rules.

A little pricey, but great course.

First time playing this course. Weather was perfect. Starter was great and staff was very friendly! Course was a little wet, but it rained the night before so that was to be expected. The course played great and the greens were in great shape! Cart path only and no bunker rule was in play. The pace was great (4 1/2 hour pace) and I never really had to wait on the group before us. The course is challenging. Great county course and definitely recommend. The only complaint is the price, but you get what you pay for and this was worth it. Definitely will go back.

Scenic!

Excellent course. Great conditions, but be aware that the bunkers are not being maintained (because of the pandemic). Our group opted to take a free drop outside any bunkers. Lots of hills — definitely not for walkers.

Gorgeous place, but not pretty enough for a six hours round

Great day, great company and a horrible, frustrating pace of play. There were two groups in front of us that turn this round into a siz hours affair...not fair to anyone. I called the starter after finishing the first hole and having to WAIT for almost 20 minutes to tee of at number 2...things got progressively worse as the group behind us started hitting their shots while we were still on the fairway or the greens....just a horrible day
