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 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

Very nice course, front tight, back more open

Overall the people there were very nice, The people giving you the carts are not helpful and borderline rude. There is no starter or ranger to monitor the pace of play. The greens were very nice, the conditions were good, and the greens were great for chipping and putting.

Great course in great condition

Berkshire Valley does not disappoint. Course in great condition. Pace initially slow. I did not see any rangers on the course. Halfway house good for a beer and a burger/hotdog. Staff pleasant but lacking in numbers. Starter was stressed and complaining about lack of support. Driving range poor, mats in very poor condition and bucket of balls very small.

Great course ,need rangers

We had a wonderful time at berkshire valley. Challenging holes were lots of fun.. wish they had rangers going thru every hour or so.. like I've always said, someone needs ro review golf edicate for groups holding up others 10 or 15 minutes. On every hole . Ready golf and tapping in 3 footers would help out everyone. We are not tour players!!!

Used cart

Course was beat up on multiple holes. The tee boxes were horrendously beat up. Half the range balls were chipped or cracked. Starter was rude and slow. Cart girl only came around once per 9 and wasn't personable at all. Guys in the proshop were chatting and laughing with eachother while I stood for minutes with no line to check in.

Course Management

Conditions/Layout of course: Challenging, Fun, Well kept

Experience: Not fun at all when you’re playing a 5+ hour round when there was absolutely no reason to. Two effing holes cleared up in front. No one doing anything! Called in to the house to have a ranger sent out. Did absolutely nothing. Multiple groups behind us breathing down our necks. All for what? So a 4some of ***** can take up the whole course? Give me a break. Don’t play here in the summer unless you prefer 5+hr rounds.

Overbooked

Played on a Friday afternoon. Apparently there was an outing earlier in the day that ran late. The course booked time slots too close to the projected ending time of the outing, so tee times were pushed back and compressed. Extremely slow pace of play and unhappy golfers. Poor management continues at this beautiful course
