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.

Fantastic all the way around
Great course all the way around. From the staff to the tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens. Everything is birdie golf or better at Farmstead. Great bar with awesome beers on tap and bottled with great food to keep you from getting hungry on the back 9. Can't wait to play again!
Fantastic.
Course was unbelieveable. Great layout, right amount of difficulty, bang for your buck golf. Farmstead is also a beautiful course in general. I drove 40 minutes to play here and was well worth it.
good value great staff fast rounds
This is the course I play the most. It is almost always in good shape and the greens are consistent but on the slower side. this is a course that gets a lot of outings but still holds up. It is a great value to play and the bar and food are good. It is a 3 Star course so if you are expecting more you might be disappointed.
Lots of water, a bit challenging, great course.
Nicely kept, somewhat challenging course. Wild life everywhere. Lots of water but fair.
Farmstead
Farmstead has grown on me in recent years. It is really an old-school layout where shotmaking and strategy come into play. Also a lot of water, especially on the back 9. 9 on both the Club and lake view will drive most players nuts with the amount of water. bring extra balls. The whites seem way short and the back tees are where the challenge is. Some of the back tee boxes are obstructed by overhanging trees which penalizes you if you happen to hit a very high trajectory driver like I do. (all of my clubs are a high ball flight). Greens are in great shape and quick since the grass hasn't really started to grow in yet. fariways are in good shape, some of them on clubview seemed a bit shaggy.
Nice course to play
Very nice golf course. 3 nine hole courses. Layout is nice and course conditions are always good.
This is a great course
I love playing this course , it is always in excellent conditions. It is fun to play, not too easy not too difficult. Just right.

Great Nov golf.
The course is in great shape. They are always working to improve things. Tee boxes and Greens were great.
Bait and switch
When you book farmstead lake/club you expect to play lake/club. This was the nicest day this fall so it was probably overbooked. Ken the starter insinuated he had been sending groups out every 5 minutes..doesn't bode well for pace of play and back up on the course. Valley 9 is nonsense. Four par 3s, and nonsensical par 4s. A 409 yard par 5 followed by a 433 yard par 4. Just nonsense. Lake and club are beautiful and that is why I would recommend...but he sure you get to play what you book...I was very turned off to this place by the switching of our round.
Where are the rangers?
The course says they're enforcing pace of play but I've been playing here for years and don't recall EVER seeing a ranger on the course. We could have used one yesterday. The pace of play was SLOW. The starter sent out at least 2 groups of twosomes ahead of us who were horrible golfers crating a backup. Worse, these 2 pairs of twosomes never hooked up to create a foursome. There was no sign of a ranger who could prompt these hackers to pick up the pace. We had to wait on every hole. Meanwhile, while waiting, we could see wide open holes ahead of theses slow groups. Where was the ranger to enforce pace of play? Also, many golfers at this course don't seem to realize that the rakes near the bunkers aren't just for decoration. I'm tired of finding my ball in footprints in the bunkers left by other golfers who don't bother to rake. I guess this venue gets a lot of bad golfers who don't know golf course etiquette.
This course is very scenic
Had a very nice time playing this course, fun and very scenic
Course is always in excellent shape.
Staff is always friendly. It has been a dry summer, but the maintenance on this course is exceptional.
Tale of Two Nines
The Clubview nine was great. The holes were challenging enough and the conditions were excellent The Valleyview nine has four par threes and is in a little bit less favorable condition. That said, the combination was a very enjoyable experience
Pretty course nice layout
Finally played a round under 5hrs!!! We played in 4 1/2 hrs greens were in good shape. It was an enjoyable round!
Great golf
