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.

Ok except for pairing
To start off no driving range there is a putting green to chip/put on. That is a bit of a downside for me as I like to warm up a bit before a round.
Starter was a good guy. He’s got a job to do and keep groups going out and he did that very well. I believe they were running a bit early even so next time I’d get there a bit sooner. He was talkative and friendly to all of us there.
Pro shop was incredibly friendly and helpful. Being a beginner any help/thought to get tee times helps me. I truly appreciated the lady at the counters helps and advice.
Overall course is in good shape. Plays well. My only complaint is the rushing of play as a beginner. That might be what would make me hesitant playing here in the future. To be fair that could’ve been the people we were paired with that caused that issue.
Overall though i would recommend. There is a big chance I play again especially as I get better.
LOOK AT THE FINE PRINT!!
Man - I was so excited to go out golfing with my brothers on 4th of July weekend. I saw a Hot Deal for $25 on Golf Now, so I immediately booked it! SCORE!
I get to the course to check in and.... I booked a disc golf tee time...
The only thing indicating that it was disc golf was the course name "Disc Valley" -- I wasn't aware of any of the course names, so this didn't come across as a red flag for me.
Luckily, the staff were very nice in the Pro Shop, saying that this isn't the first time this has happened.
I felt like a dummy and rightfully so -- I'm just hoping other people read this and will pay more attention than I did!
7:40 Tee Time
Perfect day for golf. Club/Lake course was in great condition. Pace of play was good even though it was July 4th and had many golfers out on the course. Slower group in front of us and finished in 4:30. Couldn't ask for a better round. Staff was friendly, pricing was good. Always enjoy this course.
Great layout
Really great layout and the greens rolled true. The staff was super friendly. First time I was 20 yards face to face with a Bear. But really 6 dollars for a beer , that’s why people sneak their beer in.
Course was in excellent condition. All the staff we encountered were great. Always enjoy playing Farmstead.
TERRIBLE customer service
I mistakenly made an error in booking my tee time on golfnow. Meant to make it for 6/6 but instead made it for 5/30. I realized this error when my credit card was charged the full amount on 6/1. Called the course to explain the situation and asked for a rain check but was shut down with no alternative solution. The course was WIDE open with available tee times the first few hours of daylight that day. I understand this was MY error but work with me just a little.
Picturesque quality course
Farmstead is a family owned quality course in northern NJ.
Course is extremely well maintained, just gorgeous! Well worth the money.
Everyone at Farmstead is friendly and helpful! Had a wonderful time on Memorial Day weekend. Can't wait to return for another round!
Rough
The length of the rough was that of a US Open. Even if you were a few feet off the fairway you couldn’t find your ball. Also the tee boxes were in bad shape.
