Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Valleyview/Lakeview Course
About
The Valleyview nine is the most difficult course at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, which is located in northwest New Jersey approximately one hour from New York City. Small greens, tree-lined fairways, hilly terrain and out of bounds on seven of nine holes are among the reasons the Valleyview nine is a test. The Byron Phoebus design opened in 1979.

Challenge yourself
Play this course from the Blues, it's a much better challenge. White and red tees are close. Greens in good condition, despite a horrible March in NJ
Great value for what it costs.
I play here often. I enjoy it every time. Pace of play would be my only complaint.
great day at Farmstead
If you play from the blues this is definitely a challenging day... whites not so much, but course is in good shape and the pace of play and price cannot be beat... definitely recommend this course to others...
Good conditions for mid march. Was cart path only but almost didn’t need to be. Greens recently aerated so were slow and bumpy. Lakes and ponds were filled to capacity. A fun round.
INCREDIBLY RUDE STAFF
Called today to inquire about a single rider in a cart. When they told me they now charge double ($36), I asked why and the lady was very rude in her response and eventually hung up on me. I called back and the manager picked up and said he was the one who made this decision. He was also rude in providing his explanation, simply stating they'd lose revenue if they let single riders go in a cart. I totally understand charging more for a single rider, but charging double is criminal & there was simply no need for the rude response(s).
Starter insisted on me riding with a person I didn't know in a 3some i didn't know even though course was not crowded and there were many carts... then charged me $9 to have my own cart even though I went out with a different 2some... I've played here many times and suddenly they decide to be stingy about the carts.???.. 5 hours in a cart with a person u don't know is not my idea of a fun round... I may not be going back...and I think they owe me $9 refund.
Played day after night of rain ,course was pretty good shape some puddles in the bunkers but to play in December great time. Looking forward to playing again in the spring.
tough time finding golf balls
always love playing this course. scenic play. friendly staff. but it was a tough day looking for golf balls under the leaves. lost several in the fairway.
Farmstead Valleyview
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.
Tee Boxes are a nightmare
Golf is hard enough without having to deal with side hill lies on almost every Tee box
Love this course especially in the Fall
This course and it's friendly staff and course layout is outstanding, a great value. Love the bar and food.
