KemperSports is partnering with Morris County Park Commission (N.J.) to manage Berkshire Valley, Flanders Valley, Pinch Brook and Sunset Valley — recognized as some of the finest public courses in the state.

“KemperSports has a track record of providing exceptional service and a best-in-class golf experience to their guests,” Morris County Park Commission executive director Dave Helmer said. “Their experience and innate knowledge of the Northeast golf market will be a tremendous benefit to golfers in Morris County and beyond.”

Berkshire Valley is located amid 600 acres in the Highlands region of Northern New Jersey. Flanders Valley was designed by Roger Rulewich, opened in 2004 and is located in Flanders, about 40 miles west of Newark. It includes a pair of 18-hole championship golf courses. The Blue-to-White course — or “Inner 18” as it’s referred to by local golfers — is a picturesque traditional tree-lined countryside golf course while the Gold-to-Red — “Outer 18” — plays along the outside of the property with more elevation changes and views of the surrounding countryside.

Pinch Brook Golf Course is an executive-length golf course created by the design team of Rees Jones when it opened in 1983. The par-62, 5,000-yard layout has water on most holes, including a lake on the 7th hole shaped to look like New Jersey.

The portfolio is rounded out by Sunset Valley Golf Course in Pompton Plains. The course was designed by Hal Purdy and opened in 1974. Sunset Valley is widely recognized as one of the best courses in the state.

“Morris County has a wonderful selection of outstanding golf courses,” KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner said. “We look forward to partnering with the county and community to elevate the experience at each of these clubs and continue to grow the game.”

KemperSports now manages 16 golf courses, sports complexes, and athletic venues in New York and New Jersey, including partnerships with Union County (N.J.) and the New York Parks Department.
