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.

Great experience

Really happy with course experience. Very impressed with the layout. Greens were being aerated so I will not comment on green. Pace of play could use work, but I think this has more to do with course layout as opposed to lack of attention by rangers, as I saw them around 4 times during my round. Play conservative in front five holes. Course does open up from 6th to around 14th. I will definitely be back. Driving from nyc is bit of a track, but worth it for me. Friendly staff. Rodger at pro shop and Jim as starter were super nice. Made my first experience felt welcoming.

Fantastic Course

Definitely will be returning to this great course. The course was in great condition for a public course in early July. Front nine is quite challenging and very scenic, as was the back nine. The scenery on this course is top notch. The course is cheap for the caliber of golf here. Great value!

Great track....the ranger was inept

Always a great course. They had a good stand after nine holes that really held the pace of play us. All the ranger had to do was push people along...he did not. There were 4 groups of 4 people waiting on one par 3. Pretty disappointing for a usually excellent round.

gem

Very overcast, but never rained. Started on ninth because of an outing. Never got held up. A little bit of everything for everyone. Great layout. Wish the price was a little bit cheaper. Could be a private course. beautiful scenery especially the first five holes on the side of a mountain.
