Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Valleyview/Lakeview Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Played the Valley Course
We only wanted to play 9 holes so the Valley course was perfect for that, fairly available. Valley is different than Lake and Club 9's in that it's shorter and has way more uphill, downhill and sidehills lies. The only real "issue" I had with the course was the greens were quite slow but in nice shape. It would also be nice if golfers would fix their ball marks on the greens. I fixed 5 or 6 more ball marks on the greens than our group made. Disappointing.
Some people puush
Felt some what pushed from the group behind us but that is their issue . . . . We enjoyed our time and round. Had lunch here prior and it was outstanding.
Enjoy your time here.
Great Day of Golf
The Weather was great, along with the course was in excellent condition.
Got out on time, and the pace was very good. Played 18 holes in 4 hours. I will return for sure!!!
Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service. On a day I was supposed to play there I came down with Covid and was not thinking to cancel my teatime. I called both golf now and the course directly with absolutely no sympathy or empathy for my sickness. And when talking to the people in the clubhouse the management hung up on me which is completely and utterly unprofessional spend your money elsewhere.
I love this course
From the pro shop to the starter to the halfway house to the bar Farmstead is great. Some holes quite challenging with others no so much so. Depends on how well you play. It's always been a stress free round there for me.
Great golf with a fair price.
I played the Lake and Club holes and was pleased. The pace of play was 4 hours on a Friday 9:30 am. I really liked the putting and chipping area. It may help to offer a net to drive a few balls into. Adding yardage markers in the fairways may improve speed of play even more. There are these large white stakes on the side of the fairways for just the 150 distance. Better than nothing. The greens and tee boxes where in good shape and the rough was fair. Kind of quirky to have a par 3 as the last hole, but it IS a good value. I would definitely return.
Rangers could be a bit MORE helpful
Love the course, but the pace of play added a lot of time to our round . . . . . The guys we were playing with spoke directly to the ranger, he literally drove off in the opposite direction . . . so much for him helping . . .
I WILL go back again, hopefully the pace of play is a bit better . . .
Hotdeal price at golf now, overcharge at the golf course, this is a scam
I booked 18 holes through golf now ($25ea/w cart), but the pro shop forced me to pay $82.50 and only play 9 holes, so I couldn't ruin my golf schedule. i want my money back!!!
