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.

Great country club feel
Conditions were perfect (aside for the dreaded fall wind lol). Tough par 3s and scorable par 5s. Great course.
Good Value
Beautiful setting, course in very good shape. Greens,traps and fairways all well maintained. While not overly long, water and traps and contour make it challenging.
Great greens
Water makes it very challenging. difficult to find ball off of fairway.
it was beautiful
The people were great and staff all said golfnow was a good tool for reduced rates..would play any of their 3 9's again
Always in Great Shape
The Lake/Club combination provides a great variety of holes and is kept in great shape with all the water present on the course. I have been playing there for over 20 years and have never been disappointed by the shape of the course. If you are a big hitter try the blue tees - and bring some extra golf balls! Only compliant is that the greens are little slower than my liking, but very playable. One of my favorites in the area.
Great deal on Golfnow!
Got a hot deal and made the drive from central NJ to Sussex County. What a fantastic day of golf. Interesting layout and in great shape. Helpful staff and decent pace of play.
this course was very challenging and lake view course
even par 3 was long over 200yd
lots of water by green
very challenging
Beautiful course and it was in great shape
Beautiful course and it was in great shape. Would pkay again anytime
challenging par-3's
Great course! greens were a little slow, but for this point in the season overall good condition. Twilight price was very reasonable
Course is in excellent shape, friendly staff
3 nines, challenging, greens and tee boxes in good shape. Great value for the money.
Beautiful course paired with friendly staff
Farmstead is a beautiful and very well maintained course. The pond and rolling hills provide an amazing backdrop for a round of 18. The staff is very helpful and genuine. I am looking forward to playing at Farmstead again in the near future.
the course is in very good cond.
you must play this course a few times because of blind shots on some holes
excellent in every aspect
outstanding condition, excellent greens, waitress at the bar (Cara)
extremely friendly & efficient. I was skeptical when she that everything on the menu was outstanding, but we had a few appetizers & many of the entrees & each one was better than the one before. No disappointments.
LAKEVIEW HAS SOME CHALLINGING HOLES FROM THE BLUE TEES
HAD A 10:01 TEE TIME STARTER DID NOT GET US OUT UNTIL 10:40 VERY DISAPOINTING TO HAVE A TIME AND NOT GIVEN AN EXPLANATON WHY THE DELAY.COULD NOT FINISH ROUND DUE TO PREVIOUS TIME COMMITMENTS AND PACE OF PLAY
Great course at any price
My wife and I are big fans of this course. We're relatively new to golf and this course offers a great combination of forgiveness and challenge. The fairways, rough and greens were all in great condition. I could play this course every week and always leave satisfied.
Also, the bar and grille was great for a pre-round bite and drink to ease the first tee jitters.
Always a great time
I've played Farmstead numerous times and it never disappoints. The greens are always well kept, fairways mowed, the rough is never too rough, and it is always a nice round. I can usually get the round for under $30 so the value is also worth the drive. If you haven't played it yet, I would recommend that you do.
I'll be back
Pace of play left much to be desired as we had to wait on almost every hole. Course is in excellent condition with the exception of the bunkers which were inconsistent. Only thing that was missing is a driving a range to loosen up before the round. Course offers good value for those that play public golf.
course is in great shape as always
Love playing here, fairways and greens in good condition. Early tee time can play in just under 4 hrs
HIGHLY MAINTAINED GOLF COURSE
A very beautiful golf course. Meticulously maintained. You will seldom see fairways that are as evenly and cleanly mowed as these. The greens are outstanding.
Good Course, Poor Start Time Management...
Played this past Sunday (6/9/13). Course was in good shape given the heavy rains just a few days before - played lakeview/clubview for 18. My biggest issue was the start time. I had booked a 10:28a (checked in at 10am), but didn't get out on the course until about 11:10a. Not sure if they overbooked the course or the general skill-level of the four-somes that day were challenging for the management, but it was frustrating. To make matters worse, we waited at nearly every tee-box for at least 5-10 minutes. Actual playing time was 4:45, it could have been much quicker - we are used to playing 3:45/4:00 rounds. We played with two other guys who play here quite regularly who said it is never like this. Would give the course a second shot based on that feedback, but hesitant as it is over an hour drive.
