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.

First Time Playing

Not bad

This course was decent for the golf now price. The course fairways were in very good shape. The sand bunkers need more sand, and they are very hard. Common for the ball to roll over the sand and out. The tee boxes were in okay shape. Some greens needed some work, and were patchy. My biggest issue was with the cups. The flags don't stick upright in many of them and the cup cuts are not crisp so my foursome were rimming in and out all day. I think the cups should be reset and cut more crisply.

I very nice course

I like the country like feel to the course. Most of the time you can find your ball if you leave the fairway. Water comes into play on several holes. There are two holes on the back 9 of the club 9 where there is a finger of water that protrudes into the fairway that if you haven’t played the course before you wouldn’t know it’s there so be careful. I thought that most of the par 3’s were too long but I loved the wide fairways. In general the conditions were good the fairways were in good shape. The were quite slow and bumpy, they could use a good cut and should be rolled. Overall a fine day on a very nice course.
