Gem of a Course

PVGC is outstanding from the get-go. Staff is friendly, professional and makes you feel welcome- and they are always busy! Great attitudes from all make for a very nice experience.

Course is manicured to a point that private clubs would be envious.

The bar, especially outside patio on weekends is a destination that we enjoy regularly. Good food, great drinks, service and live bands!!!

Top notch!

Excellent course..bunkers need better sand

Everything about this course is pristine,

My only problem is the sand in the bunkers..great value for a public county course.

Local gem

An excellent course and a great value! Truly amazing condition the course is in and it’s hard to believe it’s a public course! We’re very satisfied and we’ll go back against.

Expensive for what it is

County course, and very expensive if you’re out of county. Would be OK if it were on par with a Morris course like Sunset Valley, but while well maintained the layout was very odd, especially on the front 9. A number of holes had trees overhanging the tee shot, and constant dog legs. No yardage markers to be found. Staff was friendly, and we had fun, but not in a rush to go back.

Great 1st outing on the East course

Had a great time with friends. For the most part play was consistently at a good pace; not much waiting around. Friendly staff and amazingly well-maintained course.

Benches would be good for the older golfers to have somewhere to sit when waiting to tee off, especially on hotter days.

PVGC EAST Course July 02

Had an 0850 Tee time, but the 0830 duo was late, so the starter moved us up to 0830. (YEA!!!!) It was overcast but warm . The course was in great shape. Heavy rains overnight caused them to make 6 thru 14 as Cart path only. (minor inconvenience) Pace of play was great. group ahead was rarely an issue and we were not pushed by the group behind. 10 minute start times were working fine.

I only recently returned to Preakness Valley, previous time there was when it was still Passaic County Golf. The improvements in the pace of play and the physical environment are dramatic. I rejoined about three weeks ago, and have already played the West course 2 times and the east 4.

Finished just before noon for a comfortable 3h30min round.

I have played all over NJ, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and this course is competitive with many much more expensive courses
