Water comes into play on six holes on the Lakeview nine at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, which is located in northwest New Jersey approximately an hour from New York City. None is more challenging than the closing hole, a very short -- but very intimidating -- par 3 over water. The Byron Phoebus design opened in 1965.

Excellent layout, challenging greens

Everything was great, pace, amenities, conditions. My only complaint is that the tee boxes on almost every hole were crowned.. there were not many level places to tee off from on the majority of the holes.

Don't forget to eat your Leafy Greens

I understand it's the beginning of a colder season and some leaves are falling from the trees (it was Sept 13 when I played) - however, the greens were covered in leaves and causing a ton of obstructions for putting. I don't know if it was because I was the first one on the course (7am tee time) and grounds crew hadn't gotten to them yet or if this is just normal for them. Everything else was pretty great though. I'll definitely be coming back for more rounds!

Poor staff and course management

Although I have played this course several times, and used to be one of my favorites, I was recently discouraged from ever playing again!

The reservation I made through Golfnow charged me 2.49 to hold the 7:10 Tee-Time I had to play last week.

When I arrived at the course, the starter and clubhouse manager informed me of a fog delay. I mentioned that I could not wait and left, expecting to lose only 2.49 convenience fee. There were 4 other people waiting to play and the parking lot was empty.

To my surprise, when I returned home, I was charged for the full $54! I had only intended to walk nine holes, and they charged me for a full 18 with a cart!

I called the course and they assured me the manager would call me back, but they did not even have the courtesy.

I remember when golf was a gentleman's game, dictated by honor and courtesy, I gues Farmstead forgot that. Too bad, I will surely steer my friends away from a course that values money over customer service.

Nice bang for your golf buck

Great little course. Not difficult but not easy. Water doesn’t really come into play except in a few holes. Good experience every time I play here

A Slow day at the Farm

As usual at Farmstead, the pace was very slow. I cannot remember the last time I had an on-pace round there. Love the scenery, the flora & fauna, and the course, Club/Lake, is a decent track, esp for the price. Very green compared to most of the courses in NJ. Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape and lots of greens were pocked with ball marks.

Great Day As Always

Great course, Great condition on Fairways. Tee boxes were a little overgrown on some holes. Bunkers were a little hard on some holes as well but maintained. Early morning tee time so it was a bit damp but it was a great round. Staff was great, course was excellent to play on. Under 4 hours for our group. Always enjoy this course.

My golf buddy's grandson played with us and had a great time. Course was being aerated so lots of plugs on some fairways. Course was a bit wet. Still a GREAT day!

Ball Washers

The course was great but the ball washers need some attention. No water in most of them the towels were dry rotted or old. Otherwise course is great . Had a good round. Will definitely play there again
