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.

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.

March 2019 Review

Friendly staff both inside and out. Preseason golf conditions existed today.(soft ground, loose divots on fairway) greens were slow but true. Round took 3 hours. Looking forward to returning soon.

Nice course

Farmstead has a nice layout with several very long par 5 holes. I enjoyed playing the course and rated the course conditions a 3 only because there were a lot of leaves that have come down on the course so it made it difficult to find the ball.

We love playing here. I would like to challenge a player to find other semi-private courses in our area with the conditions and the quality of greens that Farmstead is able to maintain.

Great course, fantastic staff

Enjoyed a fourth of July round with my wife. Couldn't have been more pleased with the course conditions. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Women's tees are very fair. Will return often. A hidden gem in Sussex Co.
