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.

Great course
Farmstead is a great track. Always in good shape - greens a little slower than in spring. Only criticism is that they did not let us tee off early despite course being empty for what seemed like 30mins. So we got caught in late day rain as a result. In addition it slowed up groups rather than spacing them out given the open tee times. Might be a GolfNow thing, but if there are several tee times open in front of us, most courses let us out early which is considerate. Hope this could happen at Farmstead. That said, it’s a great track and always in great shape..
Nice course , slow play
Loved everything about the course but pace of play. A five hour round after speaking to the ranger. I was signed up for 9 holes and agreed to 18 after being assured pace of play was good.
Great course
Greens were in great shape, the entire course condition was excellent. Farmstead is a great track
Had a great time playing with a friend and the two we were teamed up with. Big issue you can't bring water on the course with no cooler, but when you get the cart girl she has no ice or bags to put ice in. So by the turn your beer is warm. Minor issue .
Bigger issue that no one repairs their divots on the green. We as a group must of repaired 10 per hole. Feel bad for the grounds crew.
We played Valley Lake view, the valley view the greens were impeccable with 0 imperfections and the layout was challenging. However the lake view greens need some work as they’re a significant amount of ballmarks and imperfections in the green. Overall was a fantastic round.
great deal
For me one of the nicest public courses in New Jersey - great layout - friendly staff - enough challenges - lots of wildlife viewing - beautiful setting - fantastic snack house at the turn and restaurant/bar for after golf - all in an historic barnyard setting - a must play
Very nice course
Had a great time playing. Course is in great shape. Going back with my group on the 12th of May. 5 T Times.
Enjoy Playing Farmstead
The course was in great shape. Four played at $22 each. New carts in 2018. I was surprised how the course rebounded after a tough winter in NJ. I recommend this course for without reservation. We played Lake to Club. The Valley is a shorter course with difficult par 3s. You need to make shots on this course,
Limitations: No driving range.
Worth the Drive
I have always preferred Lakeview to Club View but regardless, the course is always well maintained and management keeps pace acceptable.
Pace of play
The pace of play for Lake and Club this Saturday was the worst I have experienced in a long time. Course was in great shape for this time of the year.
Challenge yourself
Play this course from the Blues, it's a much better challenge. White and red tees are close. Greens in good condition, despite a horrible March in NJ
Great shape but quircky layout
I would not play this 18 again. Play club and Lake. Much better track.
