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.

Great conditions and slow play

Farmstead should use their rangers to better patrol the speed of play on their course. Playing a five hour round because players are looking excessively for their balls or taking second shots is not enjoyable. The course is in very good condition as the rough is kept high and the greens are fast. Very few divots on the tee boxes and greens.

Played the Valley Course

We only wanted to play 9 holes so the Valley course was perfect for that, fairly available. Valley is different than Lake and Club 9's in that it's shorter and has way more uphill, downhill and sidehills lies. The only real "issue" I had with the course was the greens were quite slow but in nice shape. It would also be nice if golfers would fix their ball marks on the greens. I fixed 5 or 6 more ball marks on the greens than our group made. Disappointing.

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service. On a day I was supposed to play there I came down with Covid and was not thinking to cancel my teatime. I called both golf now and the course directly with absolutely no sympathy or empathy for my sickness. And when talking to the people in the clubhouse the management hung up on me which is completely and utterly unprofessional spend your money elsewhere.
