Farmstead Golf & Country Club - Lakeview/Clubview Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Always a Solid Place to Golf
This is my 3-4th time coming here and we always love it! Went with my friend and our 2 boyfriends and we always have the best time. Will 100% continue to come back
Great conditions and slow play
Farmstead should use their rangers to better patrol the speed of play on their course. Playing a five hour round because players are looking excessively for their balls or taking second shots is not enjoyable. The course is in very good condition as the rough is kept high and the greens are fast. Very few divots on the tee boxes and greens.
Played the Valley Course
We only wanted to play 9 holes so the Valley course was perfect for that, fairly available. Valley is different than Lake and Club 9's in that it's shorter and has way more uphill, downhill and sidehills lies. The only real "issue" I had with the course was the greens were quite slow but in nice shape. It would also be nice if golfers would fix their ball marks on the greens. I fixed 5 or 6 more ball marks on the greens than our group made. Disappointing.
Some people puush
Felt some what pushed from the group behind us but that is their issue . . . . We enjoyed our time and round. Had lunch here prior and it was outstanding.
Enjoy your time here.
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!!!
