Berkshire Valley Golf Course
About
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.

Wildlife siting! Photo submitted by Coletrain77 on 04/23/2013
I really like this course one of the best views from the 1st and 2nd tee bow! Well maintained friendly staff great burgers on the course during the season However every time I play here I am always waiting on the group in front rounds end up being 4hrs 45 minutes to 5 hours and this is during the week!
Twilight fun
I've played here before and it's always been fun. I play T twilight time because they have better rates. Fairways are huge and are in great condition. Greens pretty good, but it's still early. I've played them at the end of last season and they are very good, but not easy. Twilight worked well for me and was able to get 18 in before dark. Started at 5 and finished at 7:30. It was cart paths only so with huge fairways got a pretty good workout.
A GREAT TIME.
Played with some friends and had me a great time... awesome speed on the greens... and healthy course... just wish people would respect divots and marks...good time
Need for rangers
Beautiful course great layout a little pricey charges 3% if you use a credit card. Pace of play is not good 5 groups on holes 13 and 14 4:45 hr round on a Tuesday
Golf scene
We enjoyed playing today. Pace of play was good. Course in good condition
Incredible views
Amazing views... Great layout. Greens in terrific shape. One of the best public courses around
Beautiful layout
Some of the best views in New Jersey a great golf course worth every penny
Always slow!!!!!
Even on a Wednesday at 9:30 it was a 4 hour and 50 minute round. No rangers on the course to help. Decided to try it again after 3 years thinking maybe it would move. My bad. Fun course but dreadfully slow.
Great time. Great course
Beautiful course. Very nice views. Challenging course if you’re new bring a few extra balls. The first couple of holes will be tough if you slice. They have a cliff off the right side. A couple holes you hit over water. I am rather new though and so is the person I played with this day. I don’t want that to be taken negatively about the course though I just put it there so an newbies like me know to bring a few extra balls you’ll probably lose a few. The people in the club house and starter, all staff really and even other golfers there were very welcoming and personable. When we told them that we were new they went above and beyond giving pointers/tips etc.
Great experience and a beautiful course. 10/10 Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful course
For the money you spend, the quality of the course, friendliness of the staff and overall experience, Berkshire Valley is atop my list of favorite courses in NJ.
Really nice "Bucket List" course to play!
We went on a really cold day and were the only golfers on the course (my car was the only one in the parking lot). Even with the cold weather the course was in great shape for this time of year and we were pleasantly surpised with the beautiful layout. Carved in the side of the hills and great views. Every hole was an amazing challenge. A must play but pricey for $77.
