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.

I very nice course

I like the country like feel to the course. Most of the time you can find your ball if you leave the fairway. Water comes into play on several holes. There are two holes on the back 9 of the club 9 where there is a finger of water that protrudes into the fairway that if you haven’t played the course before you wouldn’t know it’s there so be careful. I thought that most of the par 3’s were too long but I loved the wide fairways. In general the conditions were good the fairways were in good shape. The were quite slow and bumpy, they could use a good cut and should be rolled. Overall a fine day on a very nice course.

Nice Day on the Links

I played on a Tuesday morning and arrived a bit early. I was greeted by the State who was quite friendly and helpful. He gave me a few options of where to start. The course was basically all mine. Tee boxes, fairways, and most greens were in decent shape for being early in the season. There were a few that were being repaired but not bad at all.

During play I lost my cell phone. The pro shop staff went out of their way to help me. At first I thought it was a loss, but about an hour or so later I got a call and was informed that one of the staff had found it. What a relief. I would definitely recommend this course and give the staff 2 thumbs up.

Nice place, no crowds today

This place is very nice, but is usually somewhat expensive to ride and ALWAYS slow (5 hrs+).. Today, we started on the ValleyView course, which is much more challenging, but is slightly less good condition (greens, especially). The 2 of us flew thru there, then played LakeView, and were done in slightly less than 3 hrs.

Great shape

The course was in beautiful shape. Greens rolling a little slow. They are true though. I would recommend anybody into golf to play the course. A great course for a new golfer to start on. Valley 9 is a good place for that.

Excellent Golf Course

The fairways and greens were in better than fair condition for April very green and plush. Plenty of attention to details, Sand traps were excellent condition, Club House fully stocked with gear, shirts, balls etc. Bar and restaurant clean and beautiful, very old inside steeped in history. Mulch carefully installed all around the club house and restaurant area. New golf carts well cared for. Properly hosed off after each player returned the carts. Met the owner afterwards very nice chat, loves to explain the history of the Golf course. Water on the course was clean and moving nicely no geese pop. Beautiful views at almost every turn.
