About
River Vale Country Club (formerly known as Bergen Hills Country Club.) sprawls across the gently rolling hills of northeast New Jersey. It has been ranked on Golf Digest's list of "Best Places to Play," but it still manages to remain one of Bergen County's most well kept secrets. You'll hardly ever run into crowds on this golf course. The layout has a classic design that incorporates a variety of elevation changes. Tricky uphill and downhill lies will be your biggest challenge on this layout. Strategically placed bunkers lurk beside the greensides and there are several holes where water hazards come into play, including the par-5 fifth, which has a lake on either side of the green. River Vale a tight golf course that demands accuracy and while it's not overly formidable, your skills will definitely be put to the test.

Really fun golf course!
The greens were spectacular, the staff was extremely friendly, the layout was really nice, the round took us 4 hours on the dot (11:40am tee time, Tuesday) can't ask for too much more. The only downside was the tee boxes needed a little work but for the amount of play they get, it's understandable. Highly recommend it, if you can get a tee time...
A good day
The weather was not so perfect with a little bit of rain but The workers, course, play time, and overall that matters with the game was great!
I strongly recommend playing in this course!

Great condition…be careful on the greens
Beautiful course with a great layout. Challenging holes with good pin placements. Be careful on the greens very slick. Overall a great course I will definitely play again.
