Berkshire Valley Golf Course occupies some 600 acres in the Highlands region of northern New Jersey, where its 18 holes are laid out along the ridge of Green Pond Mountain. The public course plays to a par of 71 at roughly 6,800 yards.
The dramatic topography and long views across the surrounding countryside shape much of the challenge, giving the layout a character distinct from other courses in the area.
A clubhouse on site in Oak Ridge serves golfers before and after their rounds.
