River Vale

Summary

River Vale is a semi-private 18-hole golf course in River Vale, New Jersey, USA, within the broader USA - Northeast golf landscape. The course follows a parkland layout, a style commonly associated with inland golf, tree-lined corridors, more sheltered playing conditions, and a routing that tends to reward placement from tee to green. It is attributed to Orrin E. Smith and traces its origins to 1931, details that place the property within an earlier generation of American course design and give it a profile consistent with many long-established courses of the same era.
