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.

Great value

Course is nice. Grass could of been trimmed better but the greens played well. Rough was long and so were the tees. Except for the height of the grass the course played well and for the price it's a great value

Always a pleasure

I've really come to appreciate this course. Fun layout, fair greens, bunkers in really great condition for a public course. Great value if you walk after 2pm.

Played on 5/19/25. Greens were in great shape, as were fairways and bunkers. Only complaint was the thick rough. It went straight from fairway to deep rough on all holes, no first cut , so thick it was hard to find ball. I watched other golfers drive around in circles looking for balls in rough, then giving up and dropping in frustration. And if you were lucky enough to find your ball, you had to swing for the fences to get out. All this searching led to slow play, almost 5 hour round.

Full round

If you want people off by 730 make sure your Marshalls have pace of play monitored and don’t offer late tee times. You are more worried about getting people off than letting them enjoy the round.

Great course, even better conditions

Being that it was raining on and off a lot this week and that it’s early in the season, the conditions were fantastic. Better than any other courses I’ve played this year thus far. Fairways were in great shape, the greens rolled true and relatively fast. The only thing is that a few of the tee boxes need to be leveled out. Place has great value for $77. We got lucky with it not being crowded today. Normally it’s impossible to get on here with how popular it is. I will be back
