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.

Ripped us off

Course charged us a different rate than what was booked. We reserved for $80 pp, they charged $95 and claimed it was additional fee for holiday. Why wasn’t this added to the GolfNow reservation at booking? Did they decide to upcharge non locals for additional transaction fees and holiday rates at their discretion? Very unethical.

Shame on the locals.......

This has got to be one of the prettiest courses in NJ. The first 3 holes run along the ridgeline giving incredible views and the fall colors were starting to show.

The sad part of the story is the way the golfers treat the course. I've never seen a course with so many unrepaired divots and ball marks on the greens. I never saw a single person fix either while playing. You may say it's the greens keepers job but from the looks of some of the holes you'd need a keeper behind every foursome.

At the end of the round I said something to the pro shop manager who simply shook his head in disappointment.

So sad to see such a beautiful course be treated soooooo badly.

I will go back again but I'll take a couple of extra sand bottles to try to fill some extra marks.

Fantastic shape.

Course was in fantastic shape. Greens were some of the fastest I've played. Always blown away that this is a public course. Always a treat.

Not maintained

Course has great potential but people don't fix divots or ball marks so the tee boxes and fairways are a mess.

Do not go early on the morning if you want to play regular green

I like the course and I think is one of the best in the area. First 5/6 holes are spectacular, but in general the lay out is very nice.

Also price is fair for such a course.

What I did find not acceptable is that I played at 6:30 and greens were not wiped out so basically I finished my round at 10:20 with greens still wet and slow. So my suggestion if you want to play the course and enjoy proper greens is to get an afternoon tee time
