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.

OVERBOOKED

I play this course quite often but no more. There were so many foursomes and it appears the staff did not adhere to tee times as we teed off on the 1st hole and before we got out to our second shots there was another foursome on the first tee. My son and I left after 12 holes due to unbearable slow play. Tee time was 2:10 and when we left it was almost 6pm. Never again especially on the weekend

Farmstead, a Great Place to Enjoy the Game

I would give Farmstead an even higher rating, but they don’t have a range. This is one of the nicest public courses in northern NJ.

Farmstead Vally

We visited Farmstead for the 1st time The valley course was the only on of the 3. Courses that had availability, so we tried it. It was great. The only complaint was that they sent 2 singles out begins our threesome and we felt a not rushed. Otherwise the. Purse was great, the.food at the clubhouse was great and the staff was very pleasant. We are returning again next week to try the other 2 courses

Outings are more important than regular local players

Have been playing here over 30 years, a dozen times each year. Staff is normally professional. Never had an issue before.

Apparently a league was sent before us. We were told they are would not be a problem. All the holes had foursomes except the hole in front of us. There were 4 carts, not 2, and 6 players, not 4. The 'sixsome' should have been playing best ball. They were not. The groups behind us were yelling at us.

We told the Ranger there was a group of 6 in front of us and he said "Oh, there is an outing" We said "So. There should not be more than 4 players. He said "But its an outing". He asked us if 'we' wanted him to tell Scott. We said whatever it takes. The group behind us was complaining about slow play as well, they had called into the club house by phone.

I called the clubhouse a day later. They told me that Scott would call me back. He never did. And, they never offered an apology or rain check.

There are plenty of other courses in the area that would be happy to have my money. I'll donate to them.
