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.

Slow
Greens were bumpy and slow..and so was pace of play.
The two foursomes were all beginners and took forever. One of them even was actually fishing with his fishing rod by lake in between holes!
Slowest round of my life
Went to play on Sunday. Fully expected a full course with everyone trying to get a round in on the weekend. Rain earlier in the morning had the starters delaying groups up to an hour after their tee times. At a certain point the course has got to start issuing rain checks so the slow pace doesn’t become even worse. Rangers also could’ve done more to speed up play. I don’t see how a 27 hole layout could have the schedule in such disarray. Left after hole 11 because we were already 4+ hours after my original tee time. Might not have even been able to finish 18 because of darkness and I had a 2:50PM tee time.
Great value
Course is nice. Grass could of been trimmed better but the greens played well. Rough was long and so were the tees. Except for the height of the grass the course played well and for the price it's a great value
Always a pleasure
I've really come to appreciate this course. Fun layout, fair greens, bunkers in really great condition for a public course. Great value if you walk after 2pm.
Played on 5/19/25. Greens were in great shape, as were fairways and bunkers. Only complaint was the thick rough. It went straight from fairway to deep rough on all holes, no first cut , so thick it was hard to find ball. I watched other golfers drive around in circles looking for balls in rough, then giving up and dropping in frustration. And if you were lucky enough to find your ball, you had to swing for the fences to get out. All this searching led to slow play, almost 5 hour round.
Full round
If you want people off by 730 make sure your Marshalls have pace of play monitored and don’t offer late tee times. You are more worried about getting people off than letting them enjoy the round.
Excellent!!
Terrific course and tremendous value highly recommended staff is very friendly as well
