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.

Great day out
Great course & a few new improvements in process & completed
Great course the staff is so friendly. like to play again
immaculate condition
fast true greens. fairways well maintained. friendly staff. slow golfers.
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...
