Best Public NJ golf course in NJ! I already wrote an extensive 5 star review on Google and GolfPass, but in short: most fun layout, most unique and breathtaking golf course scenery/ambiance, and the service and staff are all top notch Special shout out to Rob a newer manager at Berkshire: he gives country-club like service and makes you feel like you're a member at a top tier golf resort/club. Can't say enough great things about Berkshire! read more

Scenic course that starts from the very top of the mountain and you work your way down. Greens very fast - even as the early morning dew was still burning off of the course. Nice course configuration - does not return to the clubhouse after Nine. There's an area that I guess is manned during the Spring /Summer months where you can grab a bite and drink before hitting the back nine. Lots of good deals on GolfNow app! read more

Beautiful course. Very hilly so would recommend a cart. Can be a challenging course. Lots of places to lose a ball. But pricey but that's just how golf is now. read more

Berkshire Valley Golf Course - View of the course - Golf Near Me - Oak Ridge, New Jersey

One of the nicest county courses you will ever play. If you can survive the first four holes, you are in for a fun, relaxing day. The fairways and greens are in impeccable condition. The starter and the gentleman in the pro shop are very friendly. Not overly priced for what you get. I strongly recommend this golf course. read more

Berkshire Valley Golf Course - Dope.. - Golf Near Me - Oak Ridge, New Jersey

This year's pandemic prove to be a challenge even for the outside golf courses. This county course in my opinion is beautiful but not as good as it could be. The sand traps for dirt and the pricing was way over normal County Park park pricing for below par. read more

I love this course but just had a terrible experience with customer service by an agent named Peter. It is 6:30pm and I looked and they have wide open tee times 2-4 players all the way up until 6:40am for tomorrow morning. I say can I book a tee time for one person at 6:10am mind you it's less then 12 hours away. He goes no I can't it has to be 6:40am. I asked why thinking in no way it can be because I'm a single less then 12 hours before tee time with 4 other tee times wide open. There's 4 tee times wide open right now and we are less then 12 hours away. I tried explaining to the guy who clearly has no idea what he's doing but he could care less. I even said if other people book I will move back but nope guy could care less. I get it's only a 30 minute difference but when your trying to make it to work that 30 minutes is a lot especially when you want to fly through. Great job Peter!! read more

What I liked: Picturesque in the mountains of Sussex County, tee boxes and fairways in good shape in September, friendly, professional staff, they have a driving range, challenging layout that keeps you thinking. What I wasn't crazy about: The greens were very hard, to the point where it was nearly impossible to hold a shot (I am not a links style player - I hit them high and I could still not hold a green), a somewhat quirky layout, at least two blind par threes (have never experienced that before, but it's due to reed beds growing high in the water so not sure that I'd blame the course superintendent), cart's cut off too far from some greens. I'd give this course another try given that now I've played it once, at Golf Now rates (not their normal $80 weekend rate) and if I knew that the greens were softer. read more

Fun golf course to play a round or two! Greens are well kept and the fairways play nice and firm. It's a bit of a wait to get a round but we'll worth it if you're looking for a great day of golf in the Morris County area. read more

One of the most challenging and beautiful county courses in NJ. First five holes are elevated and offer gorgeous views of the valley below. Descend into the valley and face water hazards and interesting fairways. read more

Beautiful course and well maintained. Staff was friendly. Carts were disinfected upon arrival.

This is a two part review as with anything Service goes along with facilities conditions etc. Have an 8:40 AM T-Time this past Monday and arrive to find a frost delay... Well I'm from South Florida now so this is certainly not in my game plan as we have to be out of here no later than 2:30.. We are told it will be 1-2 hour delay and we will shotgun off the Back nine as the sun hits there first. OK after having quite honestly one of the finest Taylor Ham Egg and cheese sandwiches I have ever had in the clubhouse we are off to range then to the course for our shotgun start at 10AM. Off Hole # 10. Course itself is truly magnificent for a public course with well manicured fairways, fast undulating greens bunkers with wonderful sand though not maintained by the public :(... and a layout that is absolutely gorgeous. After a 2.5 hour front nice we move to the 1st Hole only to find that there are not only all the groups that shotgunned with us at 10AM but all the regular tee times are stacked up on the tee as well... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Look if we are delayed by frost than the groups who have the times in the afternoon are delayed as well. You don't just throw all the groups out there as there are 7 groups on the 1st two holes with 3 groups waiting to tee off on 1. I approach Mike the starter and I am given the well we are trying to get everyone out.. SORRY sir but you can't do what you did. We are pretty much told TOO BAD this is what it is. I proceeded to the pro shop where the only guy in this disaster Frank who is trying to be helpful offers as a refund but needs approval of The GM Robert O'Rourke. When they finally find Mr. O'Rourke he indicates SORRY but no refunds. Rain Checks are offered for 9 holes... What am I going to do with rain checks when I live in South Florida? He said well they are good till next year.. Yes I really want to come back here and play a 7 hour round while you stack up the tees. After much haggling we are not going to win this battle and we leave with rain checks that will never ever be used as my group does not live in the state and we are not returning here just to use their rain checks. Bottom line I will dispute the charges through other means, but the level of service, common sense and complete and utter disregard for patron by Mike and Mr. O'Rourke truly goes down as the most unprofessional pair of administrators that have ever operated at a golf facility. County jobs are probably safe and nobody is getting fired but I wouldn't hire these two guys to watch my pet poodle. Course Conditions 10 - Facility club house driving range etc. 9 - Management - common sense and regard for the customer ME THINKS NOT!!! read more

This is my favorite public course in New Jersey. The course is very well run and is kept in great condition. The starter (Mike) is a nice guy. I like to play early in the morning and the pace is excellent. I cant speak to how the course plays at later tee times, but I've had a number of rounds that have played 3hr 45mins and under. The first five holes are challenging, but fair. The back is significantly easier than the front. Greens are fast for a public course, but true. I find #5 to be the toughest hole on the course as it has a three tiered green. If you dont land the green in the right place, expect a three put. My only complaint -- and this is not with the course as much as it is with the people that play there -- is that the greens get beaten up by people not fixing their ball marks. read more

My favorite course in all of NW Jersey. Absolutely the best looking course in Morris County's park system (and I love the other 3, so no disrespect to them). The clubhouse is gorgeous and the staff is always great. The course is challenging but not impossible. It rewards smart play, good shots, and recoveries. Some of the greens are a little tricky, but that's part of what makes this course so fun to play. I've shot some of my best rounds here and some of my worst. I like that. I work in Morris County but that doesn't get me a county card...but I wish it did because I would play this course 3-4 times a week if I didn't have to cough up so much dough for non-resident rates. read more

I really enjoyed playing here. Wonderful views no matter which hole you are at. Start at the top of the mountain and work your way down. Club house has a lot of amenities to offer. My only gripe was I came with a friend and we were set up with 2 other people. But the course is so popular it was bound to happen. Try lining up 4 people before scheduling. A very memorable experience. Everyone should play here at least once. read more

Course is in good shape so far this year. Always love the layout and surrounding scenery. Only negative for those like me who prefer to walk, is you cannot walk it nor would you want to at this mountain course. During nice weather there is a grill near the 9th with good burgers. This is the nicest course in the morris county parks system. read more

Berkshire Valley Golf Course - 9/4/17 great golf day - Golf Near Me - Oak Ridge, New Jersey

Played 8-25-21 8:10am. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE "CART PATH ONLY" THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME PLAYING THERE. The view from the 1st Tee is breathtaking and gives you optimism that this course is what others have boasted (UNLIKE THE GREATLY OVERRATED & RIDICULOUSLY-PRICED "WILD TURKEY"...I think Great Gorge is even better than Wild Turkey!). The first 5 holes they warn you "don't hit the ball to the right" as all slopes off and auto lost ball...And the 1st 5 holes offer a great start. But there are STEEP hills to walk down from the cart path which, especially when wet, could be dangerous. Very imaginative course layout and excellent fairway conditions. Greens are VERY challenging and depending on "sadistic" pin placement (there are 3 positions for pin depending on day), one could even putt off the green so knowing the course would help of course. Actually never got in a sand trap as i heard conditions were tough (But it looked like there was sand UNLIKE the disgusting Wild Turkey which suggests you take the ball out as it's rock hard in places). We were confused where we were hitting on just a couple of holes but were playing with a regular which helped. The only MINOR suggestion, however difficult, would be - a couple Par 3's have such high weeds in front, it's tough to see the pin. I understand the aesthetics of high weeds but i think you should see the pin on a Par 3. I will be back!! (Of course a Senior Rate would be nice too) read more

One of the best public courses in the state!!!A country club course and atmosphere which is open to the public.just driving in the entrance and seeing the course cut out of a mountain is breathtaking.I play here only once or twice a year because of the distance but it is always worth it!! Meticulously maintained course with many challenging holes and beautiful water hazards. Go for the day with your buddies and enjoy!!!!!!! read more

Great course. Very unique layout and meticulously manicured. Weekday deals make this almost as cheap as some beat up municipal courses. Definitely in my top 5 courses in NJ read more

Use to love this course. Came today for 18. Had us and another foursome waiting on the par 4 (9). Ranger came out and said yes this is bad. I agreed. He said he moved the group responsible up. Great. I gave it 3 more holes then had 2 groups waiting on the par 3 (12). The third just getting to the green. I kindly asked the bbq gal selling burgers since she was leaving. To get someone out to pick me up. I wanted to leave. She asked if it was the pace. I said uhh yea. Ok I'll tell them. Played the par 3 and half of next. Nobody. I had to walk to the clubhouse. Kid inside said nope. Didn't hear a thing. I'll never come back!!! read more

I have played Berkshire about 4 or 5 times this year during the week after 2. Great value at that time. The course is in terrific shape and the facilities are great. There is a driving range so you can warm up before you play. The clubhouse is really nice and the staff is very friendly. The first 5 holes can be tough starting holes as you can go out of bounds if you are not careful. But a fun 5 holes to start. The course is scenic, challenging, very fair as it is not long from the white tees. You can score on the back 9 for sure if you are playing well. You can get in trouble if you stray. The par 3's on the back are nice holes and require you to hit over marsh and water. A really fun course to play. Would never get tired of playing there. Unlike Flanders in that there is plenty of water coolers to keep you refreshed. Green and fairways in great shape. Great value in the afternoon. I consider Flanders to be "buyer beware" this year. Berkshire is the total opposite in condition of the golf course and respect given to the player / consumer. Hard to believe it is the same management. read more

Slowest round of my life- 3 hours, just finished #10. This place always overbooks tee times. Nice course but Probably wont be coming back any time soon read more

Upon entrance to the course it is truly impressive looking. Very scenic. Very nice club house and facilities for a muni. Range for practice was nice but could be better. Was going to play the blue tees however, the first five holes are cliffside and play with your nerves. Our foursome all used their mulligan on the first tee. After the cliffside debacle the lower level holes are great. Lots of water and very diverse layouts for the different holes. Other nice things is they have pin placement distances on scorecards and on flags, cart personnel are friendly with lots of choices for food/drinks. Lastly, course has above average clubhouse with patio overlooking course. This is all probably because it's run by a management company. Would definitely go back soon and beat my score of 103. read more

Great course, but I am writing this as I finished the 18th. Five hours and 35mins... Ridiculous!!! Come on BV - get your act together.

This is a beautiful well-maintained course with ample views. What it is not is easy. For a golfer like myself who shoots in the mid 90's but is long and wild this is a course where i can shoot 120. There is literally no safe area to miss on most of the holes. Everything is bordered with weed filled hills or switchgrass areas and/or ponds. In addition there are lots of semi-blind shots which in addition to fairways that all run away from a mountain means that even when you think you have hit a solid tee shot you find it has either bounded into a hazard or is close to it. Level lies are a rarity on many fairways. This course is a great test for the better player but it is no place for a long wild player like me. The greens are interesting and fair and most of the chipping areas around the greens are in good shape since the course probably does not get too much play. The tee boxes showed some wear; it was hard to find an area to tee on par threes that didn't show the sandy base under the grass. read more
