Berkshire Valley Golf Course

Course was tough. Greens very hard. Great challenge loved it

The course was great and the staff was very professional.

The Berk, as I like to call it, always puts up a good fight. Even during the busy (and hot) summer months, the course superintendent maintains a satisfyingly playable surface — from T to green.

This place is on a beautiful piece of land with terrific views. The course is in good shape with a great layout and greens. However, we averaged almost 18 minutes a hole and waited on every single shot. When we pulled up to the 14th tee, there was already a group there waiting for the tee box to clear. The group on the tee was waiting for the fairway to clear, and that group was waiting for the green to clear. So five foursomes were on one hole. At that point I decided to call it a day and head in. On my way to the cart return, I passed some amazing looking holes that I would love to play. If they would space the tee times out a bit, I would love to come back.

I don’t know what they did to this course but it’s not the same anymore.

Berkshire Valley is a challenging course that's in excellent shape. I've certainly played hundreds of courses throughout the Lower Hudson Valley, NJ, and LI and this is definitely one of my favorites. Staff is great!

My only bone to pick is the pace of play. The two groups in front of us were extremely slow to the tune of being 3 holes behind by the time we got to hole 16. Unfortunately, we did not see any Rangers all day to help the pace of play. It was extreme. I get that this happens from time to time, but Rangers would have helped also.

Enjoyed the course, though some of the fairways were in pretty rough shape. Greens were good and each hole had it’s own unique challenges.

Greens and fairways were running pretty fast. Played in 4 hours.

Lots of fun

Love the course, and jump at the chance to play it (being out of county, the tee times seem to book up before I get my opportunity). Driving range is very lacking. Snack bar was closed up by the time we left around 4 pm, which was disappointing for the long ride home.

A very friendly ranger ride past us a few times on the front 9. As it turns out, shortly thereafter, one in our foursome left a wedge on one of the greens. He drove back to collect it, and the group behind said they gave it to the ranger. Instead of the ranger driving forward to see which group lost it, it was returned to the pro shop. When we saw the ranger again on the 12th hole and asked about it, we were told it was in the pro shop. How about bringing the wedge to the player, instead of having to play the next 6 holes without a wedge? Oh, and we never saw the ranger again the rest of the round.

Beautiful setting, well-designed and challenging course in good condition. Workmen we’re out everywhere tending to it. Well worth the price.

Great course, challenging greens just enough to make love and hate . Gorgeous setup , great value, beautiful course.
