We offer 6 Great Golf Courses
Darlington Golf Course
This 18-hole course sits in the rolling foot hills of the Ramapo mountain range. Cut through a thick forest of hard woods, the course presents a beautiful setting at anytime of year.
Players are challenged by the tree lined fairways, water features and distinct changes in elevation. From the middle tees the par 72 provides a test for even the most skilled golfer. When pushed to the champion tees the par drops to 71 as the 507 yard par 5 ninth changes to a 493 yard par 4. A par on this down hill signature hole is an accomplishment from any tee.
While accurate driving is needed to negotiate many of the holes, the tight driving zones open to expansive greens. Precise approach shots reward the player with birdie opportunities, shots slightly out of sync will leave long putts and chips

Overpeck Golf Course
The 6,584 yard par 72 Overpeck golf course features ample fairways and large greens. Wind is always a factor but the real challenge exists in skillfully avoiding the abundance of water. Situated on the northern tip of the New Jersey Meadowlands, holes cross over, run adjacent to and are surrounded by hazards.
The Overpeck Creek bisects holes #5, 6, 7 and 9 requiring carries on the drive at #6, and the second shot on the others. Every hole on the front has water in play
The back nine starts dry as #10 and 11 but the walk to the 12th tee reveals a large lake that comes into play on most of the closing seven holes. Returning to the clubhouse with the same ball from the first tee is a true accomplishment.

Valley Brook Golf Course
When it was acquired in 2006 Valley Brook added a shot maker’s course to the County golf operation. Playing only 6,211 yards from the back tees it is not a course to over power. Short winding holes and small greens test the players’ ability to place the ball in just the right spot.
A large pond confronts golfers as they start their round on the 1st tee. The 160 yard carry is the first of many challenges. A winding creek and the Pascack Brook come into play on a number of holes. Many bunkers dot the fairways and greens. And a second pond is there to greet the golfers as they return to the clubhouse at #9 and #18. Valley Brook leaves the golfer wondering how the score rarely matches the expectation.
