Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Valleyview/Lakeview Course
About
The Valleyview nine is the most difficult course at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, which is located in northwest New Jersey approximately one hour from New York City. Small greens, tree-lined fairways, hilly terrain and out of bounds on seven of nine holes are among the reasons the Valleyview nine is a test. The Byron Phoebus design opened in 1979.

Nice course I have played multiple times and generally fun to be there.
Fun round tainted by grumpy ranger.
Fun and very pretty challenging course. Grumpy ranger started to fight with me for no reason while we were on 17 about golfnow not giving the course a dime and how no matter what the course closes at 8pm and how I only paid for 9 and played 18 when I booked 18 on golfnow and somehow the guy gave me a slip for 9 holes which was $8 difference. He was driving up and down the course with zero regard for golfers like he was the president and made a calm place with calm cool vibes tainted.
5 hr Sunday round
Course was cart path only for first 2 holes. Pace of play was terrible.
My Wed tee time...Great day
One of my favorite venues. Have played ther in the early 1990s. I love the course. It was in very good shape. My one disappointment was the hole cups were not clean and edges ragged and damaged. That is not acceptable. Holes should be replaced every day. Please address this. It costs our group a few strokes.
Thank you,

I hadn’t played here in 30 years This was my first round this season LOVED IT playing with it with 2 long time friends that are rookies and a college freshman got my first ever eagle on a Par 4 7th Clubview 9 iron from about 115 yards “extremely excited” 4 pars 1 birdie 1 eagle and way too many double and triple bogeys the course definitely needs more distance markers and pin location
I can’t wait to play again GMAN
Outstanding over all
It was my first time and very well maintained and beautiful view and friendly staffs.
Overall very good
Definitely coming back again with my foursome sooner
Thank you
