Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco and the Board of County Commissioners announce that all Bergen County veterans and active duty service members can enjoy a free round of golf at any of the County’s six golf courses on Thursday, November 11th and Friday, November 12th. This is an opportunity the County of Bergen offers each year as a way to express gratitude towards those who have served our nation.
To enjoy this opportunity, veterans and active duty service members must be residents of Bergen County, produce identification indicating veteran or military status, and inform cashiers of their participation in this special Veterans Day offer prior to sale. This offer is only applicable to greens fees – the golf cart fee will remain in effect.
Bergen County has six golf courses which include Darlington Golf Course in Mahwah, Orchard Hills Golf Course in Paramus, Overpeck Golf Course in Teaneck, Rockleigh Golf Course in Rockleigh, Soldier Hill Golf Course in Emerson, and Valley Brook Golf Course in River Vale.

My Dad, a WWII vet, always had a jaundiced view of Veterans’ Day.
In substance, “I have to go to work, I don’t get a day off. Except for the guys who got killed, they get every day off.”
