Always enjoy a round at River Vale! I love the course layout and the greens are the fastest public course greens you will find in the area. The course is fair if you play from the proper tee boxes. I have never had issues with pace of play and their practice facility is great. My only complaint is that they still charge $75 for a 4:00PM Tee Time on a Friday. We were lucky the group in front of us was running late, so we got to jump ahead and hardly had to wait. This allowed us to finish just as the sun was setting (4 hour round). I also think for their price tag that they should include a small bucket of balls, but overall great track.

I always believe that you get what you pay for. Rockleigh Blue is exactly that. $19 for 9 holes of golf at 7am on a Sunday is a great value. It’s an easy walk, and the course is 9 holes (par 33). The greens were surprisingly in much better shape than I anticipated, and the rest of the course was as expected. When looking to get out and practice this is a decent spot to do so. Also a great spot to bring the kids as they learn the game.

This course is my favorite place in Rockland County. It is always in good shape and the course is so picturesque. During COVID they have been doing a phenomenal job spacing out the groups and the pace of play was excellent because of it. The course can be penalizing however most holes are forgiving with wide fairways. Keep it in play and you can score well here!

Overall it’s a very solid county course. Course was in good shape, pace of play at 6:50am was perfect, and the greens rolled true. I wish they would do something about the geese but it’s been that way for years. I like the front 9 (Red) much better, but the back (White) was in good shape too.
