Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Lakeview/Clubview Course

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.

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.

Golf is hard enough without having to deal with side hill lies on almost every Tee box

This course and it's friendly staff and course layout is outstanding, a great value. Love the bar and food.

Was a great course and had alot of fun!

Pace of play was the only problem as the people in front of us were being very inconsiderate of the people behind. We all have to learn and have fun but unfortunately when you hit a drive and it doesnt even make it to the womens tee you should probably just drop a ball and continue play….. coming from a beginner.

It has been almost 10 years since I played Farmstead. Played many outings btw 1991 and 2012. I was so impressed with the course condition after days of rain. The staff was both friendly. Professional and courteous. I scheduled a foursome on Wed 9/27/23 and we had a great day. The bar was excellent and the staff was great. We will make this a regular stop. Also a great weekday price for a senior st $50 with a cart on a week day. Mike Szmidt

Got out as a solo for 9 on Valleyview and finished in 90 minutes. Course was in Great Condition

Course is in good shape and beautiful to be on. It was wet so very path only wasn’t ideal. There was some pace of play issues and backups but a ranger was able to mostly sort it out. Got through 18 as a twosome in 4 hours. As a golfer on a budget it was a great round for the hot deal I was able to snag.

If there is not going to be a drink cart perhaps you can put water in the coolers. And ball washer could be filled.

There was an outing..5 hour round, waiting on every hole; no ranger to speed up play. Greens were the slowest greens I ever played and I have played in over 100 courses worldwide for decades..no one repairing ball marks. The only positive was the nice weather.
