The Clubview nine, which opened in 1963, is the original course at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, located in northwest New Jersey, approximately one hour from New York City. Offering a traditional mix of par 3s, par 4s and par 5s, accuracy is key on the Byron Phoebus-designed course. The Clubview nine closes with two very demanding holes, the long par-4 eighth, with an approach shot over water, and the par-3 ninth, which is surrounded by water.

I love this course

From the pro shop to the starter to the halfway house to the bar Farmstead is great. Some holes quite challenging with others no so much so. Depends on how well you play. It's always been a stress free round there for me.

Great golf with a fair price.

I played the Lake and Club holes and was pleased. The pace of play was 4 hours on a Friday 9:30 am. I really liked the putting and chipping area. It may help to offer a net to drive a few balls into. Adding yardage markers in the fairways may improve speed of play even more. There are these large white stakes on the side of the fairways for just the 150 distance. Better than nothing. The greens and tee boxes where in good shape and the rough was fair. Kind of quirky to have a par 3 as the last hole, but it IS a good value. I would definitely return.

Hotdeal price at golf now, overcharge at the golf course, this is a scam

I booked 18 holes through golf now ($25ea/w cart), but the pro shop forced me to pay $82.50 and only play 9 holes, so I couldn't ruin my golf schedule. i want my money back!!!

Rangers could be a bit MORE helpful

Love the course, but the pace of play added a lot of time to our round . . . . . The guys we were playing with spoke directly to the ranger, he literally drove off in the opposite direction . . . so much for him helping . . .

I WILL go back again, hopefully the pace of play is a bit better . . .

Very Impressed

Unlike some courses this place was GOLD. Only issue was pace of play by the two (2) in front of us that were at one point almost 2 full holes behind. Someone we played with spoke to the ranger at the turn he literality turn the OTHER way a drove off. We had a great time beside and look forward to coming back.
