Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Clubview/Valleyview Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Clubview nine, which opened in 1963, is the original course at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, located in northwest New Jersey, approximately one hour from New York City. Offering a traditional mix of par 3s, par 4s and par 5s, accuracy is key on the Byron Phoebus-designed course. The Clubview nine closes with two very demanding holes, the long par-4 eighth, with an approach shot over water, and the par-3 ninth, which is surrounded by water.

Tournament playing in between public outings made slow playing pace. Customers should be informed before selling tee times, so we can decide.
Course
Course was in fantastic shape . Greens were good . Hole placements were fair . Just need to fix hole 8. Hole 8 has just about no window to drive through do to large branches extending from the tree on the right . trim a few branches and you got yourself a good hole .
Great condition
Course was in great shape for this time of year. Couldn’t have asked for better conditions. Only bad thing was the sand traps (luckily I was only in one). Had a great time. Would def play again and recommend
Great Track
Played Lake to Club on warm day in March and place was in mid summer shape already ! Staff is freindly and helpful . always a must play every year. if you spray it you may have to chip out but will usually find your ball , a big challenge from the Blue tees if you have the length !
Great Day To Play Golf
Play club and lake course. I shot an 84. Great day and meeting new people.
Golf in December in NJ
Although there was frost in the morning the staff was very efficient and got the groups out onto the course with little delay. The course was in great condition!
Great Course For The Money!
I always enjoy playing Farmstead. Some holes are wide open and some are very tight. You will use eery club in your bag.
EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT OVERBOOKED
COURSE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS USUAL - EXTREMELY GREEN.. UNFORTUNATELY PACE OF PLAY WAS HORRENDOUS AS TEE TIME NOT SPREAD OUT FAR ENOUGH - MOST OF THE DAY THERE WERE 3 FOURSOMES ON EACH HOLE
tee time
i had a tee time set and didn’t tee off until 20 minutes later.the pace of play was absolutely atrocious..i left after 9 about 2 1/2 hours.but this has happened in the past and it will continue
best staff, unique layout.
it was first time visit for me in NYC.
we plan to visit in between NYC and PA because one of friend lives in PA,
it was hour and half drive for us and him as well.
fir impression was 'wow''. just wow, you can agree if you visit a first time.
so, we impressed for layout and lots, lots, lots of waters.
then we enjoyed round.
as usual Sunday morning it became crowd, but all neighbor was very friendly.
also we played 9 hole more after the game. ( they have 3 9holes) we only paid more than affordable amount.
you should play 9 hole if you can.
lastly, they have aerate Greens, but we enjoyed such a nice staff with weather.
We probably visit again next season.
