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
AERATED!!!
Normally a great time a Farmstead.
Hate when a course doesn’t let you know there’s aerated greens.
Course otherwise in good shape.
Staff friendly.
Need a second attendant at the snack shack.
beautiful course in great shape
Great round on Lakeview & Valley courses. Some delays due to an outing but on measure, a wonderful day.
nice place needs improvement
the scenery here is great, I don't know why the starter is always miserable. A group of 2 girls and 2 guys painfully slow backed up the course for a half hour and no ranger in sight. The club 9 was in much better shape than the valley 9
Fall golf
Played on Friday, October 20. And it lasted for hours and 40 minutes. Mainly due to playing with a golfer who never played before. Tried to be helpful but spent most of the time waiting for him to hit or searching for his golf balls. The course itself was in good condition however they were a few tee boxes that were beat up. Greens were recently aerated and sandy.
A rude starter
If you're not a white friend of the starter living in the neighborhood, find another place. There's plenty of friendly golf courses nearby. You can't start your fun golfing time off with a dirty mood.
Manager, please train the starter. I know business is going well these days, You have to think after this time. Starter's attitude is irrational and racist. The same unpleasant experience is second.
Farmstead is greatly improved
I have not played Farmstead in at least 15 years and was very happy with the quality of play. The course is well maintained and the bunkers were excellent - they were problematic years ago when I played here. Greens were recently aerated and were bumpy and a bit slower. Some tee boxes were a bit ragged and there was some water damage on a couple of fairways. Overall an enjoyable round. Farmstead is back on my list of courses to play.
Review
Beautiful and well spaced golf course. Somewhat challenging with a ton of bunkers and water. Only downfall was the pace of play with the players in front of us who took 5 practice swings before every shot. We were held back for about an hour waiting for them to play, poorly.
Great Course
It was my first time playing this course. I kept seeing all of the reviews and I couldn't resist the price. The course is setup with three nine hole courses which keeps the course moving. I will definitely be coming here more often.
