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 day at Farmstead

If you play from the blues this is definitely a challenging day... whites not so much, but course is in good shape and the pace of play and price cannot be beat... definitely recommend this course to others...

Good conditions for mid march. Was cart path only but almost didn’t need to be. Greens recently aerated so were slow and bumpy. Lakes and ponds were filled to capacity. A fun round.

INCREDIBLY RUDE STAFF

Called today to inquire about a single rider in a cart. When they told me they now charge double ($36), I asked why and the lady was very rude in her response and eventually hung up on me. I called back and the manager picked up and said he was the one who made this decision. He was also rude in providing his explanation, simply stating they'd lose revenue if they let single riders go in a cart. I totally understand charging more for a single rider, but charging double is criminal & there was simply no need for the rude response(s).

Starter insisted on me riding with a person I didn't know in a 3some i didn't know even though course was not crowded and there were many carts... then charged me $9 to have my own cart even though I went out with a different 2some... I've played here many times and suddenly they decide to be stingy about the carts.???.. 5 hours in a cart with a person u don't know is not my idea of a fun round... I may not be going back...and I think they owe me $9 refund.

BEWARE BOOKING SOLO TEE TIMES HERE

I booked a hot deal for this course like I have many times in the past. In the hot deal receipt it says "cart included". When I arrived and checked in I was told I had to share a cart with someone else even though I already paid for my tee time online and once again it said cart included. This was a Wednesday at Noon and it was not busy whatsoever. They had about 70 unused carts, there was no outing, and not to mention its November. I told them I did not want to share a cart and that I paid for my own. The owner told me "you paid for seat, and that if I wanted my own cart it would be an additional $16."

I have never ran into this at any course in the country. I actually played a course the previous week where four singles were sent out all on in their own carts and they had no issues with it whatsoever.

The owner is clearly trying to split pennies during a slower time of the year and has zero sense of customer service. Him and the starter asked me why I was causing problems and started calling me names when I said there is no reason I shouldnt be able to have my own cart thay I paid for. I don't know if he does this for every solo tee time booked or just hot deals cause he's making less money but I will never go back there after that experience and I will advise others to do the same. There are plenty of other courses within 20min of farmstead that are in better shape, properly accommodate customers, and don't try to make extra money when its slow.

Farmstead Valleyview

This is the 2nd time I've played the Valley View. The first was very early in the season. I like the course layout and as I played in November, there were very few people on this course, which allowed a fast pace of play.

I will definitely be playing here again.
