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.

Golfer Reviews
Cart path only due to heavy rain the day before. Course in good shape. Great staff. Only drawback was slow pace of play as it took 5 hours to play 18.
Super Annoyed
Frankly the last 2 times I played here I was not a fan. The starter is beyond rude. Both times he started me and my group at least 10 min late from the tee time. They also this last time oversold public slots on top of an outing. I started had a 2:40 tee time (so really started at 2:50) and we never finished the 17th or 18th holes. 5 hours and to not finish all while having to wait excessively after every stroke is ridiculous! The starter needs to be fired because he has no clue how to stagger people properly and the rangers need to learn how to move people along who are holding up the line. Much rather pay a bit more and play Skyview at this point!
Wonderful course
Farmstead is always in great shape. From tee box to green this has always been one of my favorite places to play. Go and see for yourself and you'll know what I mean.
fun rounds
It rained a lot today, so the course conditions are bad
This is a golf course I always want to come back to
To the staff who found the lost cell phone
Thank you
Great Day
Little over 24 hours after rain from Ida. Started on Club side and after first hole, no course wetness issues. Played Valley on back nine and as expected with a valley, very wet on several holes.
Even with that wetness, we had a great time on a great course. Weather was beautiful and the course was green everywhere. No pace of play issues to speak of.
Great Place
Play the club and then the valley. I know now why the valley is always available because it’s very difficult and very challenging. We will be playing here again
one of my go to courses
I always have a good time at Farmstead, Play it a few times a year and always feel its a good value for the money. Some challenging holes typically most people play Lake to Club but they do have Valley as well. Valley is a bit more quirky and not as traditional its ok but Lake to Club is the way to go.
Some tricky holes and a few long par 3s make it a challenge but its still fun. The greens are usually in good shape and the rough is a bit longer than other courses to keep you honest. Overall this is not going to wow you but you will keep coming back because pace of play is good, the scenery is nice and its a fun time.
