About this course
Berkshire Valley Golf Course occupies a roughly 600-acre former quarry site in Jefferson Township, New Jersey, on land that once held the ruins of circus owner Alfred Ringling's early-1900s winter headquarters. Contaminated soil and old industrial waste had to be removed from the site before the course could be built.
Architect Roger Rulewich designed the layout, which opened to the public in 2004 as the fourth course operated by the Morris County Park Commission. The course runs along the ridge of Green Pond Mountain, with narrow fairways, well-protected greens and notable elevation change on holes such as the par-3 second.
Berkshire Valley plays to a par of 71 across 18 holes and stretches to about 6,800 yards from the back tees. It is a public, county-owned facility with a driving range, putting green and clubhouse dining.

Crystal Springs Resort - Ballyowen
Hamburg, NJ · 8.7 mi away
Ballyowen at Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, New Jersey, opened in 1998 and was designed by Roger Rulewich, who spent decades working for Robert Trent Jones Sr. The site was a sand and gravel operation before the course was built on it. Rulewich built a treeless, links-style layout with fescue rough, large sweeping bunkers and open sightlines across the whole property. Wind is the main defense, the fairways are wide, and the greens are large enough that a long approach can leave a very long putt. A bagpiper plays on the property during the season, and the course is open to public and resort play as part of the Crystal Springs group of courses.
