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, fairly short course.

Super conditions and delightful venue with lake and hillside views. Longer par 3's make up for the less than 6000 yd track. Mature trees and ample turf ensure a happy day. Recommended.

Awful experience

The starter is rude and condescending. The course is a poor layout and the valley course is 4 par three's, all in terrible condition.

Not worth the time with so many other nice courses in the area, but if you are desperate, you can always get a tee time.

Great weather - super fun

I played this past Saturday with 3 lads I never met before. We played 18 holes in about 4 hours and fun was had by all. The tee boxes were in very good condition as was the rest of the course.

The staff was extremely friendly from the gentleman who was working the Pro Shop to the ladies who sold bevs and hot dogs and the young man who cleaned the carts! Excellent customer service. I will be back very soon!!

My Favorite Course in NJ

Truly you can't beat the value and conditions of this course. Starting with check in, the people are amazing. The starter is great and don't miss the chance to say hi to Noah, the beautiful course mascot that checks everyone out. Wildlife galore, beautiful views and some serious water make this a five star course.... Three 9 hole courses that are all completely different giving lots of variation to your game. Valley is my favorite 9 but extremely challenging. Take your phone so you can capture some great pictures. We have played here at lest twice a month this past year and I've never been let down. Okay, one issue... I wish the tee boxes were a little flatter.

Lake/Club

There are 3 nine hole courses. I like Lake and Club the best. Fun to play and good conditions although the greens were a little bumpy today. My favorite was the #5 on the Club, par 5, with water protecting the green short right.

Farmstead

Played the Lakeview and and Clubview courses (9 holes each). There is a fair amount of water and the rough is of a length that will appropriately cost strokes if shots are not in the fairway. Greens are challenging and fast. Each hole has some unique aspect that makes the courses very interesting.

Excellent restaurant. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. No practice range but the practice green was the same speed as the course greens.

Fantastic all the way around

Great course all the way around. From the staff to the tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens. Everything is birdie golf or better at Farmstead. Great bar with awesome beers on tap and bottled with great food to keep you from getting hungry on the back 9. Can't wait to play again!

Course was unbelieveable. Great layout, right amount of difficulty, bang for your buck golf. Farmstead is also a beautiful course in general. I drove 40 minutes to play here and was well worth it.

good value great staff fast rounds

This is the course I play the most. It is almost always in good shape and the greens are consistent but on the slower side. this is a course that gets a lot of outings but still holds up. It is a great value to play and the bar and food are good. It is a 3 Star course so if you are expecting more you might be disappointed.

Farmstead

Farmstead has grown on me in recent years. It is really an old-school layout where shotmaking and strategy come into play. Also a lot of water, especially on the back 9. 9 on both the Club and lake view will drive most players nuts with the amount of water. bring extra balls. The whites seem way short and the back tees are where the challenge is. Some of the back tee boxes are obstructed by overhanging trees which penalizes you if you happen to hit a very high trajectory driver like I do. (all of my clubs are a high ball flight). Greens are in great shape and quick since the grass hasn't really started to grow in yet. fariways are in good shape, some of them on clubview seemed a bit shaggy.
