Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Lakeview/Clubview Course

WITH ALL THE SNOW AND RAIN WE HAD FOR THE LAST MONTH THE COURSE WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, SOME WET SPOTS BUT OVER ALL YOU CAN NOT COMPLAIN.

I have played this course many times. Usually at this time of year courses in this region are littered with tree leaves. This was not the case here. The course was immaculate - no leaves - greens rolled perfectly - excellent day of golf. Kudos to the ground crew and staff.

I do not know how they do it but the fairways are always lush - grass sticks straight up and dense. Real nice. Somewhat easy course. I like playing here.

Each time I go back to play at Farmstead I truly enjoy my round of golf. I'm never disappointed with the course condition no matter which 9 holes of the 27 I play. I am also very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the quality of the amenities. Had a great round, played well all in all with a 78 and a hole in one on #9. Lucky shot I guess?

I got this price on last-minute go off awesome the only reason for the three stars for a course condition is they just aerated not too long ago but still the greens were pretty good and of course is in real good condition I would definitely recommend this course for all types of whoppers it's golfer friendly.

Had a opportunity for a golfnow HOTRATE at 2:40... which was the first public tee time of the day, a 200 person shotgun outing was getting off the course. This was the way golf was meant to be placed. Some of the holes on the back Clubview will remind you of Mattawang -- rolling hills, some water to contend with, well-guarded greens. Lakeview for 9 holes is a great 9 to play. The par 3's are long and you will probably hit most clubs in your bag.

The course was in SPECTACULAR shape. The greens seemed like they were just cut and rolled for this outing and very little signs of play on them. Our foursome finished in 3 hours and 40 minutes. Some of the tee boxes make you shape your tee shots (I.e not hitting it too high, or playing a power fade on #8). They need to trim some of the branches in my opinion but it makes the tips interesting (#4 is not fair though --- especially to those who hit a cut shot with the driver). I ended up hitting a low fader off of the tree on the right, and into the weeds.

Anytime you see a golfnow rate here, call the clubhouse and find out if you are getting on after an outing --- we were completely by ourselves! A group that recent;ly started on #1 clubview (our 10th hole after completing valley) were quick to get out of our way and keep it moving.

Got a good deal from Golfnow. Played Lake/Club. Course is relatively short although the par 3's are long. Tee ground, fairway, greens are in bad shape and slow greens. Staff not too friendly and hope they do a better job in maintenance..would be a much more enjoyable course

We played the club/valley course.

The Valley course was in rough shape. Farmstead has 3 nine hole courses on it and valley seemed like an afterthought and it is also maintained as such.

Farmstead is recommendable but only for Club and Lake courses.

very nice course. maintain well, Challenge with water .

We left after 5 hours playing only 15 holes. Waited 10-15 minutes on every tee box. There were frequently three groups on every hole. There are signs everywhere saying each nine holes should play in two hours and 15 minutes, and they "enforce that pace". Not true at all. Saw one ranger all day and was told " there are a lot of families out here on the weekends " and that they were "mobbed". The responsibility to manage that better falls on the golf course staff and they did a terrible job of it . The fairway grass was the length of the first cut of rough in most places. The holes on the greens did not look like they had been moved in 2 or 3 days, grass was growing over the edges of the cups. This experience wasn't worth $25, let alone $55.00.

Must play position golf on some holes

Otherwise you really can't get into trouble

Perfect weather, course in great shape, great day !

First time playing Farmstead GC this morning. No driving range to warm up. Good pace of play for a weekend round. Course lays out in front of you. That was especially nice for a first time play. Fairways and greens are in good shape for the most part (although I saw one fairway with a huge weed sticking up about 4 inches). Greens are flat without much break.

I don't think that I would want to play this course on a regular basis but it was a good change of pace.

I think the real gem here is their lake course, but if playing the club/valley, it felt like it left a little overpriced. But it is Jersey so not surprised at all. Conditions and course were nice throughout and I liked the club a lot more than the valley. The back 9 on valley didn't feel all that exciting, but it had some nice landscaping.

Course in immaculate condition. Golfnow rate of $24 per golfer with a cart is outstanding value for a course this good

Super conditions and delightful venue with lake and hillside views. Longer par 3's make up for the less than 6000 yd track. Mature trees and ample turf ensure a happy day. Recommended.
