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.

Farmstead Valleyview
This is the 2nd time I've played the Valley View. The first was very early in the season. I like the course layout and as I played in November, there were very few people on this course, which allowed a fast pace of play.
I will definitely be playing here again.
Tee Boxes are a nightmare
Golf is hard enough without having to deal with side hill lies on almost every Tee box
Love this course especially in the Fall
This course and it's friendly staff and course layout is outstanding, a great value. Love the bar and food.
Farmstead 10/1/23
Was a great course and had alot of fun!
Pace of play was the only problem as the people in front of us were being very inconsiderate of the people behind. We all have to learn and have fun but unfortunately when you hit a drive and it doesnt even make it to the womens tee you should probably just drop a ball and continue play….. coming from a beginner.
What a spectacular course and day
It has been almost 10 years since I played Farmstead. Played many outings btw 1991 and 2012. I was so impressed with the course condition after days of rain. The staff was both friendly. Professional and courteous. I scheduled a foursome on Wed 9/27/23 and we had a great day. The bar was excellent and the staff was great. We will make this a regular stop. Also a great weekday price for a senior st $50 with a cart on a week day. Mike Szmidt
Great Condition - Fast Pace of Play
Got out as a solo for 9 on Valleyview and finished in 90 minutes. Course was in Great Condition
Great shape. Some pace issues.
Course is in good shape and beautiful to be on. It was wet so very path only wasn’t ideal. There was some pace of play issues and backups but a ranger was able to mostly sort it out. Got through 18 as a twosome in 4 hours. As a golfer on a budget it was a great round for the hot deal I was able to snag.
Little things
If there is not going to be a drink cart perhaps you can put water in the coolers. And ball washer could be filled.
Slow slow
There was an outing..5 hour round, waiting on every hole; no ranger to speed up play. Greens were the slowest greens I ever played and I have played in over 100 courses worldwide for decades..no one repairing ball marks. The only positive was the nice weather.
Great course!
Farmstead is one of my favorite courses. I do prefer playing the 9 split of Lake View and Club View.
Each 9 has its share of challenges but it's a good balance.
