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.

Hire a Ranger and Cut the Greens

Course conditions were decent for late October. The greens must not have been cut in a couple days so putting was rough. The bigger issue was pace of play and zero stars would be appropriate if that was an option. A sub 4 hour round was turned into a 5 hour round by a rude group who had no course etiquette and no ranger on the course to prevent them from jamming the course up and causing waits on every shot.
