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.

First Time Playing

Not bad

This course was decent for the golf now price. The course fairways were in very good shape. The sand bunkers need more sand, and they are very hard. Common for the ball to roll over the sand and out. The tee boxes were in okay shape. Some greens needed some work, and were patchy. My biggest issue was with the cups. The flags don't stick upright in many of them and the cup cuts are not crisp so my foursome were rimming in and out all day. I think the cups should be reset and cut more crisply.

I very nice course

I like the country like feel to the course. Most of the time you can find your ball if you leave the fairway. Water comes into play on several holes. There are two holes on the back 9 of the club 9 where there is a finger of water that protrudes into the fairway that if you haven’t played the course before you wouldn’t know it’s there so be careful. I thought that most of the par 3’s were too long but I loved the wide fairways. In general the conditions were good the fairways were in good shape. The were quite slow and bumpy, they could use a good cut and should be rolled. Overall a fine day on a very nice course.

Nice Day on the Links

I played on a Tuesday morning and arrived a bit early. I was greeted by the State who was quite friendly and helpful. He gave me a few options of where to start. The course was basically all mine. Tee boxes, fairways, and most greens were in decent shape for being early in the season. There were a few that were being repaired but not bad at all.

During play I lost my cell phone. The pro shop staff went out of their way to help me. At first I thought it was a loss, but about an hour or so later I got a call and was informed that one of the staff had found it. What a relief. I would definitely recommend this course and give the staff 2 thumbs up.

Nice place, no crowds today

This place is very nice, but is usually somewhat expensive to ride and ALWAYS slow (5 hrs+).. Today, we started on the ValleyView course, which is much more challenging, but is slightly less good condition (greens, especially). The 2 of us flew thru there, then played LakeView, and were done in slightly less than 3 hrs.
