MORRIS TWP., NJ - The Morris County Park Commission announces the selection of Billy Casper Golf (BCG) to manage the award-winning Berkshire Valley Golf Course located in Jefferson, New Jersey. A grand re-opening will be held on May 1.
Billy Casper Golf will oversee
all aspects of Berkshire Valley operations, including golf course and property
maintenance, sales, marketing and public relations, staffing and training,
merchandising, restaurant and banquet activities, special events, and financial
management.
The course will continue to be a
facility of the Morris County Park Commission and an asset for residents of
Morris Country. Access to the tee time reservation system remains the same for
registered golfers. On May 1, the new fee schedule and all pertinent information
will be available on www.morrisparks.net.
“Billy Casper Golf’s track record
of boosting performance at courses similar to Berkshire Valley resonated with
the Commission,” says Renee Klose, Director of Golf for Morris County Park
Commission. “The company’s operational know-how, personable service and high
agronomic standards mean enjoyment for golfers each and every round. And of
course, this facility is top shelf.”
Since opening in 2004, Berkshire
Valley Golf Course has earned several honors, including Golf Digest’s
“Best Places to Play,” ZAGAT “America’s Top Golf Courses,” and Garden
State’s “Top Municipal Golf Course.”
“An excellent course layout and
gorgeous natural setting make for a strong backdrop at Berkshire Valley,” says
Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “Local golfers will realize the Billy
Casper Golf difference in short-order.”
BCG will enact its proprietary
“BCGreen” initiative at Berkshire Valley to conserve, protect, and enhance the
environment. Berkshire Valley will enroll in the Audubon International
“Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program, maximizing efficiencies in
maintenance, energy, water, pesticides, fertilizer, equipment wear, and
labor.
In addition to Berkshire Valley Golf Course, Morris County
Park Commission’s nationally recognized courses include Flanders Valley Golf
Course, a flagship course with 36 holes, played by more than 85,000 golfers
annually, and rated as one of the premier public golf courses in the United
States. It has garnered four stars from Golf Digest’s “Best Places to
Play” and achieved recognition by the ZAGAT Golf Guide the past five
years.
Pinch Brook Golf Course, a facility of the Morris County Park
Commission located in Florham Park, NJ, is an executive length course designed
by the world-renowned development firm, Rees Jones, Inc. The par-54, 4,996-yard
course gained three and a half stars from Golf Digest’s “Best Places to
Play.” While the water hazards along the majority of holes and elevated,
undulating green are sure to test the skill of the most seasoned golfer, this
course remains popular with seniors and holds clinics for golfers of all
levels.
Sunset Valley Golf Course, located in Pompton Plains, NJ
offers a variety of holes with challenging design and fast greens. Regarded as
one of the best public golf courses in New Jersey, it is consistently rated four
stars from Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” and one of the “Top 100 Must Play
Courses” by Golf Styles magazine, with the three best finishing holes in the
state, according to many golf enthusiasts.
