Berkshire Valley Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Gary Gary gary gary
Gary the starter. Bad guy. Must have some compromising photos of someone high up somewhere.
Could Be So Much Better
I have played this course many times. It’s a great, scenic layout and location but it’s being run on the cheap. The tee boxes are chewed up and have been since April, sand traps are full of rocks, there is no drinking water on the course and you literally cannot see the green on one of the par 3’s (#12) from the tee because it is blocked by overgrown reeds. Beware if you need to eat and haven’t brought any food. The grill may or may not be open, it’s random. Other county courses such as Neshanic and Hominy Hill put this course to shame when it comes to appropriate investment.
Overpriced
No rangers. Very slow pace of plat. Tee boxes not well maintained. Nice challenging layout.
Great course terrible pace of play!
berkshire is a beautiful well kept course with a friendly staff and great views from the first 2 holes. However their pace of play the 6 times I've played in the last year on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday have all been 4hrs 45 minutes to 5hrs 15 minutes waiting every hole and every other shot. Their golf carts have no GPS and no cover in the back for your clubs. They no longer have any rangers to speed up pace of play. No senior rate if your out of county and a Troon course that doesn't give you points on your Troom card
Great Course - But lousy pace of play
Everything about Berkshire is wonderful except it consistently exceeds 5 hours, even on weekdays!
Great layout and setting, conditions lacking
The course is long and challenging especially from the black tees. Really nice layout and a beautiful setting in a valley surrounded by hills. Only issue is the conditions and maintenance of the course itself. Tee boxes were mostly fine but the fairways and greens were a mess. tons of divots, dead patches of grass etc. Also the bunkers were not in the best shape. Overall ok, but don't expect a pristine course.
Thank you for your review. We value your feed back. We hope to see you back soon!
Great Course, Lousy pace of play
Wonderful in every aspect except it’s always a 5hour plus round.
Thank you for your review! We value your feedback and are consistently striving to improve our customer experience. Hope to see you back soon!
Don’t go in the morning!
Course is nice. I like the layout and the variety of shots you need to play. Every year I visit my friends in NJ and play a round here but forgot not to take Tee time in the morning as they do not wipe the green (!!!!) so really does not worth the money you pay! On the opposite pace of play was good ant it took me 4 hours to play a round (but we were the second Group teeing off at 6:20).
Thank you for your review! We hope to see you back soon!

Enjoy the app and disappointed doesn't do veterans discounts or the courses do not offer
Thank you for your review, Ernie! We hope to see you back soon!
Wet greens unacceptable!
Course is very nice and I would suggest it to anyone Who happens to be in the area. Sorry to aknowledge that there is a starter quite rude !
Other negative is that greens in the morning do not get wiped out so if you have an early tee time (as I had at 6:20) putting is really a nightmare for all the 18 holes! For more than $90 for a round they should do better (as Flanders Valley does, for example!)
Thank you for your review Claudiusson. We apologize for the behavior of our starter as it is not reflective of our staff as a whole. Please reach out to our Director of Golf, Zach Bromfield at zbromfield@berkshirevalleygc.com to discuss in further detail. We hope you will give us another chance soon!
Great find
Driving in the view is spectacular
And it gets better from there
Unfortunately it was cart paths only when we played so it was slow
But a great course
Wish people would fix those divots and ball marks
A great place to play
Thank you for your review! Glad you enjoyed the course. Hope to see you back soon!
Thank you for your review! Hope to see you back soon!

Thank you for your review!
