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.

Course was in very good condition

The course was in very good condition the only thing I would like to be different though is that the fall rates should be a little bit lower compared to the other courses in the area other than that everything was great

Great layout!

Cart path only adds at least 45 min to round. Hole #3 is impossible for people with bad knees or bad hips. No handicapped flags available! Cart path should be on right side of fairway making for easier accessibility!

Good Challenge for a Public Course

Maintained Fairly Well. Greens a little on the slow side but tricky given the hilly surroundings. Played this course five times this year and each was a 4 1/2 to 5 hours round which is the only complaint I have. They could use a half way house as the 9&10th holes dont come back to the club house.

Good value, challenging greens, extremely slow play exacerbated by poor design/layout of first five holes.

Have been playing here for a few years now. Pro-shop process for golfnow reservations is efficient and starters are friendly. Very picturesque course with beautiful vistas especially in the fall. Greens are undulating, fast and challenging.
Pace of play is atrocious at best. Rangers could do a much better job in moving things along by having slow players pick up and move to the green or next tee. This would benefit everyone.

Worth the effort to play as a non-county resident

The course was in great shape and each hole had its own unique twist to it. Most courses loose creativity at some point as is evident by holes that go back and forth.

Nice combination of links and traditional holes

The course is very interesting. I probably played the wrong tees as I lost quite a few balls on the back nine due to the need of carrying water. I was glad I played it, but I would only play when a good deal is offered. It is much too pricey for a Morris County course; tomorrow I am playing Flanders Valley, and it is a much better value, and the course is very well maintained.

Nice layout. Friendly staff. Good conditions. Good value.+

I've played this course on and off for many years. In the last year I have seen marked improvements in condition, playability and pleasant staff. Saw a mother bear on the course and they let us play through.

Slow play for the first 5 holes

The first couple of holes always backup. Whoever designs a public course with a 240 yd par 3 hole as the 2nd hole is crazy
The 4th hole is a par 5 that carts are restricted to the cart path because of some serious damage to the fairway.Then 5 is a short hole downhill to a fairway that again carts are restricted to the cart path and the green is uphill for the 2nd shot that most people cannot hit because it is to severe. Next is a blind downhill par 3 but then the course gets alot better,thank goodness.

Nice course, first time there. Nice conditions for late in the season. There was a frost delay, but to be expected. The staff at that time was ok, nothing great. Definitely give it a try.
