About Valley Brook Golf Course
Valley Brook is a shot-maker's course. It's only 6,211 yards from the back tees, so you won't overpower it; the holes are short and winding, the greens are small, and the county's own description says the score rarely matches the expectation. It's a Bill Boswell design on rolling ground with gentle elevation changes.
Water shows up right away. A big pond sits in front of the 1st tee and asks for a 160-yard carry, a winding creek and the Pascack Brook come into play on a number of holes, and a second pond waits as you come back to the clubhouse on 9 and 18. Plenty of bunkers dot the fairways and greens.
The course is named for the brook along its western edge. The course and the New England style clubhouse behind the 9th and 18th greens were renovated in 2001, when it took the Valley Brook Golf Club name, and Bergen County bought it in 2006. The Green Point Restaurant is on site.
It's one of 2 courses in River Vale on Yoink, and the closest alternative is Soldier Hill Golf Course, about 2 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
