Berkshire Valley Golf Course

Berkshire is one of the best public courses in NJ especially with regards to the layout and scenery. Overall conditions are phenomenal as well with an exception to a few beaten up tee boxes. Green speeds were the fastest I’ve ever played on but rolled true with perfectly cut holes.

Negatives being the absurd pace of play of 5.5 hours including the first 4 holes taking nearly 2 hours with three groups waiting on each tee. Also the starter could use some better people skills. Very rude to say the least.

Course is an absolute gem and couldn’t be a more beautiful setting for fall golf. But be prepared for frost delays with earlier tee times. Waited an hour and a half to tee off and it was pretty much a disaster. Starter was losing it on pretty much anyone that breathed in his direction. Everyone was sent to 9 to start where there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. Took me nearly 3 hours to complete 9 and I left.

Great condition, greens were quick. Layout was superb. Always in good condition.

Started round at 9:10 am. Finished 2:58. No ranger to speed up pace of play. Tee boxes looking like pinch brooks tee boxes. No interest in going back

Course was shutting down all back tee boxes for extended maintenance while we we playing so requested a refund for the back nine and was granted.

First time there and will definitely be back. True risk reward course greens are in great condition and lots of undulation makes it fun. Open fairways with trouble if you don’t hit them and fairways are in great condition. Tee boxes are a little beat up but it’s late in the season and it’s irons only on the range. One of my favorite tracks in new jersey

Beautiful course! Great views! It will take a few rounds to get used to but looking forward to FALL BALL!!

Challenging course with narrow fairways. Only mishap is the design and layout of this course as you don’t return to the clubhouse after 9. Make sure you have plenty of golf balls!

Gorgeous course. Conditions really solid. Pace of play unbearable. Over five hours. Not

Gary the starter. Bad guy. Must have some compromising photos of someone high up somewhere.

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.

No rangers. Very slow pace of plat. Tee boxes not well maintained. Nice challenging layout.

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
