early golf in the NE is always fun. It was cold windy and cloudy but the course was in good shape especially the greens for this time of year.

Good public county course

Didn’t have high expectations, but the course was actually pretty decent. Had a nice looking clean clubhouse with gas carts available (90 degree) and only couple holes that were cart path only. Gas carts had to be returned by 6pm for anyone looking to tee off later in the afternoon. Nice putting area and looks like the bar/restaurant was also open.

The course itself was in good shape from tee box to green. Wide fairways and very golfer friendly roughs. I Will definitely play again.

Great short county course

Interesting course that makes the most of its layout. Some interesting approaches, a fun short course to be creative with your drivable if you hit it far with 2-3 drivable par 4s.

Straight forward golf course

Golf course with a nice simple layout. Fairways are clearly seen from the tee box. Except for a couple damaged greens, overall condition of the course is very good. Wish there were the usual 100-, 150-, 200-yard markers. The discs on the ground are hard to see. Tee boxes were in good shape as well. Would definitely play again.

Valley Brook was OK, nothing special. The course upkeep was acceptable. There is no pro shop to speak of and I was quite disappointed that I could not buy a glove for the round. staff was friendly.

Course needs work

I enjoyed my round at Valley Brook. However, this course needs a lot of work. Many of the holes are in bad shape and there is goose poop everywhere. I’ve never seen so many geese on a golf course. Bergen county golf needs to step it up.

What's the Rush?

I'm all for keeping pace of play, but we did a 4 hour round and half way were needled by "marshalls" to step it up. We were riding on a "cart path only" day and that adds more time to set up shots. But we were keeping a good pace. Not only did the marshall give us a warning, but they kept circling around us like a spy. I think his wife was in the 4some behind us.
That was a bunch of bull
Also, get rid of the geese! About half the holes had geese all over the fairways and the last 2 greens were covered in geese droppings

Avoid It

Played Valley Brook this morning and it was littered with geese and goose poop. Course was also soaking wet despite it not raining the night prior. Maintenance staff cut holes at an angle and the pace at 6:30am was about 4.5 hours. Total joke of a course and zero reason to go here with better options right up the road. Terrible experience.

Absolute Mess

It’s a shame because the course layout could be a huge selling point, however, the course conditions are abysmal. For a county course there is absolutely no effort going into maintaining a playable track. Staff is grumpy and not helpful at all.
