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.

Course was in excellent shape, friendly staff, one of our favorite courses in the area. Fast, excellent greens, very playable. My wife and I played as a twosome behind a foursome on the front nine taking 2 hours 15 minutes the standard time for the pace of play. After the front nine a very slow foursome of men appeared on on the 10th hole and as a twosome they would not allow us to play through. We don't know where they came from. So after an hour to play 3 holes we skipped a hole and enjoyed the rest of our round finishing 17 holes in 4 hours.

A treat of a course.

Farmstead is a gorgeous 27 hole course in Sussex county.

Amazing views from lake/club 18. Valley 9 can be challenging. Staff is alway friendly and you really experience a family operation at work. Nice practice putting green and chipping area. Best price in the area for a round of golf, course is always well maintained. Greens were rolling pure. Food at the turn was great we got some burgers, dogs and beers, great prices as well. Pace of play was a little slow due the group 2 ahead, not the courses fault as they really stress a 2 hour 15 minute pace for 9 holes. Great overall round!! A MUST PLAY!

Don't golf here

I used to love Farmstead, but they are absolutely horrible with staggering tee times. The rate of play is that of a dead slug, the second the group in front is off the tee box they send you out to sit behind 20 other groups. Took at least 6 hours to play, also, they allow walkers after 2pm so the pace is even worse then. It's a shame because the layout and conditions are usually fantastic, but it makes no difference when you're waiting 15-20 minutes between holes. I won't be going back here.

First Time Playing

Not Impressed

First time playing the course and thought it was about average. The holes were either straight forward or challenging dog legs. Some of the tee boxes were in bad condition so much so that it was difficult to get the tee in the ground. The fairways were in good condition. Greens have improved over the years to my understanding but some were so littered with debris, it made putting virtually impossible. Would play again but not for $35.

Great value, good conditions

27 hole course. The Valley nine is immaculate because it is quite difficult! No warm up range but there is a practice putting green. Fun course

We played in just over four hours, and even got out a bit earlier as a single. Course was in great shape but could have used a mow in some spots. I like this course if pace of play is decent.

Great condition - great value

I have played this course many times. Usually at this time of year courses in this region are littered with tree leaves. This was not the case here. The course was immaculate - no leaves - greens rolled perfectly - excellent day of golf. Kudos to the ground crew and staff.

Nice Course

I do not know how they do it but the fairways are always lush - grass sticks straight up and dense. Real nice. Somewhat easy course. I like playing here.

Absolutely no complaints

Each time I go back to play at Farmstead I truly enjoy my round of golf. I'm never disappointed with the course condition no matter which 9 holes of the 27 I play. I am also very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the quality of the amenities. Had a great round, played well all in all with a 78 and a hole in one on #9. Lucky shot I guess?
